TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS PROVIDING SPECIFIC BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS

 

 
Thanks to the specific 1340 nm wavelength, the YAP laser has the unique advantage of being extremely well absorbed by:
  • water, making it possible to cut and light-vaporize naturally hydrated soft tissues such as the gum, without the risk of necrosis,
     
  • hemoglobin, which makes it possible to coagulate and control bleeding thanks to its hemostatic action,
     
  • nickel, titanium and steel, offering possibilities such as removal of a broken instrument from a root canal and extraction of a post or any other metal object.
 
The YAP laser emits in pulsed mode. The impulses delivered have a very short lasting (≤150 µs), high power peak (2.6 kW), at frequencies of 5, 10 and 30 Hz, allowing targeted use. Tissue warming during treatment is extremely limited, sparing adjacent tissues.
 
Post-operative edema, inflammation and pain are thus substantially reduced and sometimes entirely eliminated.
 
Using the control panel, impulse power, rate and duration are simply and easily selected depending on the tissue to be treated.
