I've always enjoyed endodontics and anytime something new and exciting in the field comes along, I always look at it with interest. As a tech guy, I'm always looking for the latest and greatest, but I *really* perk up when I see something that just might make endo easier and/or provide better results.
Along those lines, I recently made a post about AMD Lasers and their new LEAP endo system that uses their newest laser, the Picasso Pro.
Today I'd like to pass along some more info for those of you who are interested in this new system. I recently was notified by AMD that this new system is available for pre-order that includes a $600 savings.
Personally, I think the value here is that this isn't an "endo specific" system. The Picasso Pro is a fully functional diode laser that allows you to use it in a variety of clinical applications. The big plus is that it also gives you a new way to perform endo for your patients.
I've been using soft tissue lasers in my clinical practice since around 1998 and I can tell you from personal experience that soft tissue lasers will change the way you think and treat. The predictability of lasers allows you to do some amazing things. As an example, I'll use gingival recontouring in aesthetic cases. Properly used, a soft tissue laser can allow you to perform gingival recontouring as well as preparation for aesthetic dentistry at the same appointment.
A laser can allow you to gently ablate tissue that doesn't shrink as it heals. That means the gingival margin stays exactly as you contoured it. When the crowns or veneers are seated, the tissue is right where you left it. This means patients get their cosmetic treatment faster with more predictable results.
Of course that's just one example of the benefits of laser dentistry. You can also perform biopsies, tissue retraction for fixed prosthetics, frenectomies, and much, much more. I've got several soft tissue lasers in the office and if someone came in and stole them, I'd be on the phone the next day ordering a new one. Their effect on my treatment is that profound.
Adding endodontics to the procedural list is the icing on the cake. AMD has been working on developing the LEAP system since at least 2019 and they have done a lot of research and testing to fine tune this to get it just right.
Here's what AMD has to say about the Picasso Pro and the new LEAP endo system...
A New Frontier in Laser Dentistry
The new Picasso Pro isn’t just another diode laser system; it’s a complete practice tool chest allowing you to deploy the power of lasers in ways you never imagined.
