*No shot, no drill, no pain is not a claim of clinical efficacy, but a goal of WaterLase
technology. Because each patients perception of discomfort during treatment is based
on individual sensitivity to pain, treatment history, and the procedure being performed,
not all patients can be treated without anesthetic. However, dentists using WaterLase to
perform typical cavity preparations report not using anesthetic in the majority of cases.
**Studies show that sterilization of used burs and endodontic files is less than 100%
effective. Single-use WaterLase tips avoid this cross-contamination risk.

Every day my patients and I get great pleasure from

the efficiency, aesthetics, comfort, and safety of
WaterLase technology. I cannot imagine how would I
work without it in my everyday practice.
Dr. Olga Risovannaya
Krasnodar, Russia

What do your patients really

think about you?
Actually, they love you they really do everything
from your comfortable chair, to how you care about
their teeth, to that squeaky-tooth feeling after seeing
your hygienists. They love it all except for your drill
and needles.

The WaterLase will give you a truly different alternative to the traditional tools youve been using to treat
patients. WaterLase technology can completely alter
your outlook on your profession and how patients feel
about you. Unlike drills and needles, patients
love WaterLase.
97% of WaterLase patients are very likely to recommend it to their friends and family members*. You can
be the advanced WaterLase dentist that patients are
recommending. Once they know you care enough to
offer WaterLase treatment, they become walking
advertisements for your practice.
Adding WaterLase technology to your life gives your
patients the option to love everything about you.

The WaterLase iPlus

has changed my
patients perception
from fear and pain
to comfort and
appreciation.
Dr. Howard Golan

am breaking the speed barrier

Faster than the

high-speed drill.
Productivity in dentistry requires
tools that let you work fast.
BIOLASE R&D set out to beat
the current standard in cutting
speed, the high-speed drill.
In tissue removal speed and
overall chair time, iPlusTM wins.
The best
hard tissue laser
on the market *
The YSGG iPlus provides
significantly better coagulation
of soft tissue than erbium YAG
lasers because it penetrates
deeper into water-rich tissue.
Along with the iPluss long
pulse, high pulse repetition rate,
and precise water control, this
makes iPlus among the best
surgical laser tools.

FASTER THAN
**
EVER BEFORE.
BIOLASE R&D gave the iPlus the most innovative laser power plant
of any medical laser. Twice as efficient as previous YSGG lasers, the
revolutionary R powered laser delivers extremely short pulses
with more than 10,000 watts of peak power at up to 100 pulses/sec.
With double the energy and half
the pulse, I can cut posterior
teeth in only a minute or two
while optimizing patient
comfort and reducing anxiety.

am the best laser

CUTTING SPEED EQUAL TO THE DREADED HIGH-SPEED

drill AND FASTER THAN ANY OTHER LASER.
Both the iPlus Er,Cr:YSGG and erbium YAG lasers cut by energizing water
molecules within the target tissue and from the spray on the tissue surface.
Laser energy rapidly increases the temperature of the water, pressurizing and
breaking apart the crystalline enamel prisms within hard tissue.

Absorption, x10 cm
Er:YAG

The iPlus cuts dentin and enamel better than erbium lasers, because (as the
graphs here show) when temperature increases during excitation of water by
the laser pulse, less Er:YAG laser energy is absorbed and more YSGG energy is
absorbed. The result is that YSGG cuts faster than Er:YAG.

Since becoming a laser dentist in 2000, my practice has grown

tremendously, because of the more gentle approach using laserassisted techniques. From management, to laser-assisted root canal
therapy, and minimally invasive restorative techniques, patients
appreciate the efficiency and excellent results provided by utilizing
laser therapy. Isnt that what it is all about, providing our patients
with the best that dentistry has to offer?

I have owned and

currently own all of
BIOLASE WaterLase
lasers, and my iPlus
is by far the single
most advanced laser
ever produced in terms
of cutting speed, not
only for teeth but soft
tissue and bone as well.
I never thought it was
ever going to be that
different from the last
WaterLase MD that I
have, but it is!

Fastest return of any

technology investment.
The WaterLase iPlus is
the most versatile and
productive technology
you can own. The
water-energizing YSGG
laser is equally effective
on hard and soft tissue.
Applications are nearly
unlimited, and BIOLASE
clinical research and
WaterLase users are
continually adding more.

I am significantly
faster and much more
efficient with any
procedure using the
iPlus laser than with
anesthetic and a drill
or a #15 blade. But
what is most rewarding
is the look on the
patients face when
they hear that we are
done. That truly is
PRICELESS.

Since purchasing
my WaterLase,
many people have
asked me, Are
you making more
money with it?
Does it cover your
lease payments?
The answer is
yes, but it really
doesnt matter. The
WaterLase has
made me a better
dentist in so many
ways. No one ever
asks if your dental
chair makes you
money the reality
is that you cant
practice without
one. The same
is true with the
WaterLase you

am scientifically proven

What is
WaterLase?
From 5 to 100 pulses of YSGG laser
energy are emitted per second from the
tip of the handpiece along with a fine
water spray. Laser photons energize
water molecules within the target
tissue and from the spray on the tissue
surface. Energized water molecules
vaporize, causing a biological and cool
ablation of hard and soft tissue.

WaterLase eliminates
pain in most cases.
It is widely accepted that tooth pain is caused when a stimulus applied to dentin is
transmitted to nerves inside the tooth through fluid in dentinal tubules.
The heat, vibration, and pressure of the drill trigger pain impulses through this fluid. According to one mechanism related to pain transmission that has been reported in the literature,
WaterLase may prevent pain transmission without anesthetic or needles by dehydrating
tubule fluid, leaving insoluble salts in the tubule that block pain transmission to the nerves.
WaterLase may also eliminate pain by the same mechanism of action currently accepted
for how Low-Level Laser Therapy desensitizes by interfering with nerve cell membrane
polarity to block transmission of pain stimuli.
13

Its a fact I will never consider going to a

non-WaterLase dentist again. The laser
procedure was fast, easy, painless, and the
best thing thats ever happened to my teeth!

WATERLASE
ELIMINATES
RISK OF CROSS
CONTAMINATION.*
The potential for cross-contamination between patients in the dental operatory is
a real and widely documented risk. Burs and files are manufactured and FDAapproved only for single use on patients. Research shows that burs and endodontic
files cannot be properly sterilized for re-use. Patients are becoming knowledgeable
about the dangers of cross-contamination. Using WaterLase as directed can greatly
reduce or even eliminate this risk. Dont be left behind. Project yourself into the
future of advanced dental care.

Published data indicate that YSGG minimally invasive

surgical periodontal laser therapy using the WaterLase
led to significant improvements in bleeding on probing,
probing depth, and appeared to be advantageous when
compared to SRP alone, due to more efficient attachment
level restoration.

Deep Pocket Therapy (DPT) with New Attachment using

the WaterLase iPlus laser and BIOLASE patented Radial
Firing Perio Tip (RFPT) is a minimally invasive, FDAcleared therapy for moderate to advanced gum disease
that promotes cementum-mediated periodontal ligament
new-attachment to the root surface in the absence of long
junctional epithelium, and subgingival calculus removal.

Our patented Radial

Firing Perio Tip (RFPT)
features a unique design
that precisely tapers the
end of the tip to deliver
most of its energy to the
side of the tip, and only
a portion from the end
of the tip, protecting the
apex of the canal.

yttriumscandiumgallium

This not only enhances results in the hands of a periodontist using the WaterLase for
regenerative procedures, it is also an alternative treatment for the general dentist
who is treating mild to moderate periodontal cases. Patients are also more likely to
accept treatment when they hear that it is minimally invasive, and patients who have
accepted treatment are getting positive results and avoiding the side effects that
they have heard about from conventional treatment.

iPlus provides superior

disinfection of the root canal.
TM

The smear layer remaining after rotary or hand instrumentation not only contains
infected tissue, but can seal infection within dentinal tubules. Scanning Electron Microscopy shows how treatment with WaterLase MD Radial Firing Tips leaves canal
walls free of smear layer and opens dental tubules, allowing YSGG laser energy to
penetrate and destroy bacteria.

Effective on the highly resistant

Enterococcus Faecalis to reduce
retreatment risk.
Why do treatments fail even when all canals are located, and cleaning and enlargement
is successful? Research has shown that most root canal treatment failures are caused
by persistent or secondary intraradicular infections, with E. Faecalis, the most prevalent
species. WaterLase YSGG treatment may significantly reduce the risk of retreatment.

ergonomically designed
for infinite productivity.

The iPlus features the only illuminated contra-angle

handpiece on any dental laser. BIOLASEs patented
contra-angle design allows you to easily and precisely
move the laser tip around the treatment site, while
iPlus illumination provides the best visibility.
The iPlus handpiece is also the smallest handpiece,
an important consideration for pediatric patients and
working in the back of the mouth.

The WaterLase Contra-Angle Handpiece is the

sleekest and most ergonomic of any dental laser.

All BIOLASE Gold and Turbo

handpieces are compatible with the iPlus.

26

The iPlus has the lightest, most flexible trunk fiber ever on a WaterLase system.
Titanium fiber cable and an extremely small diameter give the iPlus handpiece virtually
zero resistance in your hand, to help eliminate fatigue so you can easily access any
treatment site. Words dont really describe it you have to try for yourself.

I have been ecstatically pleased since taking ownership of

the new WaterLase iPlus. Its versatility is fabulous, and its
potential is unchecked in my opinion.

am versatile

The widest selection of tips,

accessories and upgrades of any
dental laser for the greatest
versatility.
The WaterLase iPlusTM offers the widest variety of tips
of any dental laser, to give you precisely the results you
want in any procedure. Each tip is specially engineered
and clinically tested to deliver the optimal laser energy to
the treatment site. BIOLASE is continually designing new,
more effective tips to meet the needs of our owners and
improve the performance of our laser systems.

It is hard to imagine where my practice would be

without my WaterLase. In the past 18 months we
have continued to add techniques and procedures
with the laser that have improved patient comfort
and have delivered treatment that before was hardly
imaginable.

The iPlus is a superior soft-tissue laser. Even so,

sometimes its just more convenient to pick up
the completely wireless iLase diode soft-tissue
laser when you just need to perform a quick,
minor soft-tissue procedure.

The first totally wireless dental laser, the iLase uses

finger switch activation instead of a foot pedal.
With 5W of peak power, the iLase is great for basic
soft-tissue procedures. For optimum efficiency,
recommended values for power and pulse mode are
factory installed for 10 common soft-tissue procedures.

Why 940nm is A superior wavelength

While all diode lasers use heat to cut, many increase
tissue temperature excessively, causing patient
discomfort. The 940 nm wavelength, developed
exclusively for dentistry by BIOLASE, is better
absorbed by hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin than
other wavelengths, so the iLase cuts faster at lower
power with less heat, for greater patient comfort.

Exclusive ComfortPulse for

BIOLASE soft-tissue lasers keep patients more
comfortable a second unique way. An exclusive
BIOLASE feature called ComfortPulse lets you
significantly reduce the amount of time the laser is
actually cutting, to avoid pain-inducing heat buildup at
the surgical site. This unique combination of features
means you can perform most soft-tissue procedures
with the iLase using topical anesthetic only.
