Wiser Tech: the Dentist’s diode Laser

Basic Science: the 980nm wavelength

As the Helios emissions designer, Dr. Swick,  insisted that we use the 980nm diode wavelength, the one uniquely suited to soft tissue work. 

Among diode laser wavelengths, 980nm lies at a peak in the light-water absorption curve. Among the alternatives, 980nm has the ability to work fast yet keep thermal damage low.
