Precision for expanded spectrum of therapy The KaVo Diode laser is suitable for numerous indications in oral surgery, endodontics, for treating bacterial infections, and for support in periodontology (after a conventional scaling and root-planing). All of the indications listed here are preprogrammed in the device and can be individually adapted:Abscess/drainage Adenoma Aphthae Biopsy Bleaching (laser activation of bleaching substances) Desensitisation Drainage Epulis Extirpation Fibroma Fistula Frenectomy (lip frenulum) Frenotomy (tongue frenulum) Gingivectomy Gingivoplasty Hemangioma removal Hemostasis Herpes Hyperplasia Implant exposure Incisions//excisions Canal sterilisation Canal sterilisation for periapical defects Coagulation of the pulp Leukoplakias Lichen planus Mucoceles/ranula Mycoses Operculectomy Papilloma Periimplantitis Decontamination Pulpotomy Sulcus expansion Sulcus sterilisation in laser-supported periodontology Vestibulum plasty Vitrification Ease-of-use The intuitive menu structure of the GENTLEray 980 sets new benchmarks and is easy to integrate in the dental practice workday. he easy access to indication parameters ensures smooth treatment and increases the number of indications. The Premium version has numerous advantages over the Classic General information on the diode LASER The diode LASER is minimally invasive and has a series of advantages over conventional treatments (such as electrosurgery):Reduced bleeding during surgery  Fewer sutures  Less postoperative swelling  Less scarring  Bactericidal effect of the LASER  Less need for antibiotics and antiphlogistics  Less pain and controlled wound healing Wavelengths All of the diode LASER’s on the market with wavelengths in the near infrared spectrum (810 to 980 nm) are strongly absorbed by melanin and haemoglobin (oxyhaemoglobin HBO2). They are absorbed to a lesser degree by water. These lasers are therefore absorbed in particular by blood itself. Of all of these specific wavelengths, the wavelength of 980 nm is absorbed the most by water. Its effect is therefore not as dependent on the availability of blood vessels in the irradiated area as with other diode LASER’s. Greater performance Greater irradiation efficiency accelerates procedures with shorter irradiation timesOptional pulsed application can reduce the thermal side-effects taking into account tissue-specific relaxation time (cooling phase) Greater efficiency Faster healing Technical Data 980 nm 6 Watt cw 1 handpiece 300 µm fibers 3 protective laser goggles Monochromatic touchscreen Foot switch Fibre trimmer Optional: 200 µm fibers Bleaching handpiece Premium upgrade-kit Understandable menu structure 1.

Handpiece with perfect touch & feel KaVo’s unique, patented handpiece supports your treatment with a perfect touch and feel:Direct fibre guidance provides efficient transmission of laser energy with no coupling loss Easy adaptation of the fibre length to therapeutic needs Classic, balanced handpiece designed for regular easy handling Handpiece tips with different angles With water cooling Reduction of thermal side-effects decreases pain during and after treatmentReduced carbonisation and coagulation zonesAfter SRP, residual blood is rinsed from the periodontal pocket making laser-supported sulcus sterilisation and de-epithelisation more effectiveReduction of odour during treatmentImproved patient comfortFaster healing Safety regulations In general, the LASER safety guidelines in IEC 60825-1 should be observed. Protective LASER goggles should therefore be worn by everybody near the LASER (such as the dentist, assistant and patient). The LASER safety goggles are delivered with the GENTLEray 980. KaVo offers regular LASER courses that enable you to use the LASER with confidence and skill.   Upgrading set from Classic to Premium With the optional upgrade kit, the GENTLEray 980 "Classic" can be easily upgraded to the GENTLEray 980 "Premium": New software Greater performance (diode array) Peristaltic pump Second handpiece with water cooling Second fibre with 200 µm Colour display With a laser is upgraded by suppliers authorised by KaVo Comparison with the Key LASER The focus of the GENTLEray 980 diode LASER is on treating oral soft tissue with a positive haemostatic effect, and decontaminating irradiated areas as in endodontics, for example. In contrast, the KEY III is suitable for the treatment of soft tissue and hard tissue (enamel and bone), and in periodontology for gentle calculus removal. It therefore has a wider indication spectrum.
