Experience, Sirona
Sirona recommends to gain practical experience in laser dentistry before
first use of the SIROLaser Advance by attending an appropriate training.
Amongst others Sirona offers trainings. Please see the Sirona homepage
(www.sirona.com).
Users are obliged to use only faultless materials, to ensure correct
application and to protect themselves, the patient and other persons
against hazards.
In order to prevent false or improper use, the SIROLaser Advance must
not be used by unauthorized persons. Therefore the SIROLaser Advance
equipment must be protected against unauthorized access when not in
use. This can be achieved, for example, by switching the SIROLaser
Advance off following use so that the electronic access key (pin code)
must be entered before using it again.
WARNING
The SIROLaser Advance may only be used and maintained by
thoroughly trained personnel.

Physical working principle

The 970 nm laser radiation of the SIROLaser Advance is generated via a
laser diode inside the control unit and guided to the treatment region via
quartz fibers. The laser radiation is absorbed by the tissue and converted
to heat used for cutting, coagulation, germ reduction and desensitization.
2.5

Laser radiation hazards

Never direct the laser or aiming beam toward a person's eye! All persons
present in the room (patient, dentist and assistant) must always wear the
laser protective goggles.
Observe all labels on the SIROLaser Advance.
With battery
Note that after switching off the master switch of the practice the
SIROLaser Advance will still switched on. Then it is energized by the
rechargeable battery.
