Er: YAG Laser in Handpiece

Pediatric dentistry requires a minimally invasive approach, prioritizing the preservation of healthy tooth tissue. The LiteTouch™ Er:YAG Dental Laser stands out for its ability to precisely and gently ablate small areas layer-by-layer, ensuring the removal of infected tissue while preserving healthy tissue. Additionally, it disinfects the remaining affected dentin, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments and aligning with the minimally invasive philosophy. For pits and fissures, the LiteTouch™ Er:YAG Laser ensures thorough disinfection and cleaning, resulting in a better seal of the sealant material and reducing the risk of treatment failure.

The LiteTouch™ Er:YAG Dental Laser treatment offers minimal discomfort and less pain to the patient, and in many cases, can be performed with little to no anesthesia, making it an excellent option for procedures such as ulectomies, gingivectomies, frenectomies, and operculectomies. It can also be used for aphtha, ulcers, dentin hypersensitivity among others.

Pediatric dentists should apply specialized behavioral approaches when treating children, such as the TELL-SHOW-DO approach. Studies have shown that the LiteTouch™ Laser is well accepted by children during the "SHOW" step due to its unique design. The LiteTouch™ does not look like a medical tool; instead, it resembles a space toy or robot, which helps children feel more at ease. This familiarity allows dentists to smoothly transition to the "DO" step.

The LiteTouch™ Er:YAG handpiece does not vibrate like conventional instruments and produces a gentle, non-intimidating sound, transforming the dental treatment experience into a non-traumatic, patient-friendly one. Children prefer being treated with a small, colorful, robot-like device over the traditional drill, enhancing their overall treatment experience.
