The emission of the laser pulse to the variable Erbium Caravaggio, while achieving by microimpulses 50 microseconds, and long pulses of 1000 microseconds It ‘made with emissions in square wave. This type of emission allows to Caravaggio laser to exploit the most metered energy, in the chosen time without any unwanted energy waste Fig. 1 and 2
This allows a minimally invasive dentistry in the ablative treatment of tooth decay, limiting thermal effect.

Some lasers propose disposable tips instead of the whole fiber. We support the use of whole fiber for 2 reasons: · Reliability of laser parameters (power) · Optical Fiber Opticity Vs. Disposable Tips . Reliability of laser parameters All diode lasers are produced with the so-called Fiber Coupled diodes (fiber-coupled fibers) are diode components where an optical fiber is "welded" and connected. This fiber is coupled to an optical coupler whereby the entire optical fiber will be screwed onto the patient (Figure 1). Other lasers prefer to have a long fiber optic fiber then connect a handpiece to which to connect disposable tips (figure 2). Each optical coupling results in a loss of energy flow. We are safer than the energy we have, we have only one optic pair, we disperse much less than the competition, which has 2 or 3 pairs.

An optic fiber supplied with our Laser is 2.5 m long The cost of an optical fiber of our lasers varies from €. 250,00 to € .400,00 Take as an example the higher cost €. 400.00 Now we consider that 2.5 mt of optical fiber, 1 Mt It is not usable, as the fiber would be too short and We can not approach the patient with the laser. Therefore, you will only use "1.5 mt". Of fiber optics equal to 1500 mm. We can imagine cutting 3mm of fiber for each use / patient 1500/3 = 500 (use / patients) Our optical fiber will allow you to treat 500 patients With a cost of € .400,00 . The tips boxes are normally 4-tipped boxes, Disposable, for €. 40.00. Let's say we can use the tips at least 3 times. This would allow us to do 12 treatments / patients For a cost of €. 40,00 By analogy we take the 500 Patients we have shown To be able to do with our fiber optic (like Above) and divide by the 12 treatments that a box Tips let us do it. Calculate how many boxes of Tips are needed to make the same patients as a fiber optics. 500/12 = 41.66 (we round off for 40) So we need 40 boxes to do the same patients 40 boxes x 40 €. Cad = €. 1,600.00 Cost to 500 Fiber Optic patients = €. 400.00 Cost for 500 patients with tips = €. 1,600.00 The cost for Ns. Dentist will be Exactly 4 times as much!

Some lasers have very large terminals to cover multiple teeth during dental bleaching We suggest the use of handpiece tooth by tooth: Better Energy Minor risk to the patient All assisted laser whitening handpieces are made of 3 components:
.Laser connection
.Transmission Fiber Optic
.Handpiece with focal lens or focusing prism
At first glance, it would seem easier and more immediate to work with a wider handpiece, as it is shown in the figure below, a large defocused area, high energy output, to compensate for defocalization. The risk is to bring too much energy into the central area with risks to the patient.

There are no doubt, that the possibility of eliminating a cable, the power cord from the mains, is an ergonomic advantage. But perhaps most important is the reliability of ergonomics and clinical: First, it is important to know that the power of a laser diode is generated by the electric current that is applied, so if this fails, even only in part, the effectiveness at full capacity is compromised. Even the best battery loses in a short time characteristic and can not guarantee the effectiveness of the current supplied in a stable manner, and consequently also the power suffers. In addition to certain treatments that can last more than half an hour, full mouth periodontal or bleaching, the battery does not hold the entire duration

Some lasers are very attractive for size, meanwhile, should take a pragmatic reflection, That's great that small, the laser will weigh 2 to 5 pounds, and ergonomics of the study is always positioned on a mobile servant. It is also important to know that the internal dimension of the diode is equal for all, the choice of having a larger casing is linked to the fact of being able to be mounted on a heatsink with fan, and ensure a life at least three times the object of the most important dimensions .
