designs,

laser-based
systems
for
use
in
dental,
cosmetic
and
medical
applications.
The
Company's
laser
and
water-based
proprietary
HydroKinetic
technology
incorporated
in
its
dental
system,
the
Waterlase,
utilizes
an
erbium,
chromium:
yttrium,
scandium,
gallium,
garnet
(Er,Cr:YSGG)
laser
as
the
energy
source.
The
unique
laser
pulses
act
to
rapidly
energize
water
to
precisely
shape
or
remove
enamel,
dentin,
cavities
(dental
hard
tissue)
and
soft
tissue.
This
patented
breakthrough
technology
is
Er,CR:YSGG
laser
induced
hydrokinetics.
When
operating
in
this
hydrokinetic
mode,
the
Waterlase
system
has
significant
benefits
over
any
previously
available
technology
for
cutting
the
entire
range
from
hard
to
soft
tissues.
The
Waterlase
system
is
in
the
early
stages
of
being
marketed
both
in
the
United
States
and
internationally
for
dental
hard
and
soft
tissue
applications. | More
