At the 37th International Dental Show, dental laser specialiest Fotona officially announced its new Adaptive Structured Pulse (ASP) technology, a key breakthrough needed for next-generation dental treatments, as well as the latest models of the company’s award-winning laser system, the all-new LightWalker ST-E Pro and the updated ST-E Advanced systems.
All LightWalker laser systems now include Fotona’s ASP technology, which represents a cosmic shift forward for the medical and dental laser industry, according to the company. This third-generation technology combines the unsurpassed range of pulse duration modes of Fotona’s Variable Square Pulse (VSP) technology with the revolutionary new capability to adapt the temporal structure of laser pulses to the bio-photonic dynamics of laser-tissue interaction, resulting in faster and more effective treatments as well as entirely new treatment possibilities.
Fotona also introduced a major enhancement to its laser endodontic treatment, which now incorporates SWEEPS (shock wave enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming) mode. SWEEPS uses the power of the Er:YAG laser to create non-thermal photoacoustic shock waves within the cleaning and debriding solutions introduced in the canal. Following SWEEPS treatment, the canals and subcanals are left clean and the dentinal tubules are free of a smear layer.
Dental practitioners visiting the company’s booth also had the opportunity to test the efficiency of the LightWalker, cutting into hard and soft tissues with different models of the company’s handpieces. On Friday evening, Fotona hosted an evening dinner event which attracted a sizeable turnout, with an overview presentation of the company’s latest dental innovations and an informative lecture by Dr Kresimir Simunovic on the topic of laser biomodulation and anti-snoring treatments.
