LAKE ZURICH, Illinois--KaVo Dental has introduced the GENTLEray 980 Premium Soft Tissue Diode Laser.

Dental practices can begin to integrate laser treatment and expand the range of procedures performed in their practice with the design of the GENTLEray 980 Premium.

The GENTLEray 980 Premium is the first and only water-cooled, micro-pulsed diode laser with GENTLEpulse Technology. GENTLEpulse Technology represents a high level of soft-tissue precision in the diode laser market. It reduces thermal stress and all but eliminates tissue charring and allows for minimal postoperative discomfort.

Other features include:

* Higher peak powers – fast-cutting results in less treatment time for doctor and patient

* Water cooling handpiece - provides cooling and irrigation to tissue with minimal post op discomfort

* Variable pulse - further refinement of energy to tissue

* Sterilizable fiber – multiuse without loss of laser energy to tip

* Color touch screen – defines procedures, easy to read at a glance and can be touched with a wet glove

* On-board tutorials – preset with 28 procedures

The small, portable diode laser can be used for a range of surgical, antibacterial and laser-whitening procedures. The GENTLEray 980 Premium delivers treatment with less side effects (bleeding, swelling, and suturing) and helps make procedures easier to perform and more comfortable to the patient than traditional means.

The GENTLEray 980 Premium Soft Tissue Diode Laser has a two-year standard warranty.
