  • Page 7: Introduction

    Overview Introduction Congratulations on the addition of the Waterlase Express™ all-tissue laser to your practice! Waterlase patented technology provides a minimally invasive, highly precise, and exceptionally gentle dental experience for your patients, as well as unmatched results in treatment outcomes.

  • Page 8: Overview

    Waterlase Express may also be used for specific endodontic and periodontal applications. When used for oral hard tissue procedures, the Waterlase Express laser provides optical energy to a user-controlled distribution of atomized water droplets and hydrated surface layer of hard-tissue. The water present in the target tissue absorbs laser radiation, resulting in explosive molecular expansion and ablation of hard-tissue.

  • Page 9: Indications For Use

    Indications for Use Indications for Use The Waterlase Express may be used for the following indications: GENERAL HARD-TISSUE INDICATIONS* • Class I, II, III, IV and V cavity preparation • Caries removal • Hard-tissue surface roughening or etching • Enameloplasty, excavation of pits and fissures for placement of sealants...

  • Page 19: Contraindications, Warnings, And Precautions

    Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions 5.1 CONTRAINDICATIONS All clinical procedures performed with the Waterlase Express must be subjected to the same clinical judgment and care as with standard techniques. Patient risk must always be considered and fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely understand the patient’s medical history prior to treatment and exercise caution for general medical conditions which might contraindicate a local procedure.
  • Page 20 Always use high-speed suction to remove any excess fluid and avoid directing the spray into deep pockets. Do not use the Waterlase Express if it is not possible to access the treatment site without directing air into an area that may collect or entrap air. In general, the same care and precautions should be taken when using the Waterlase Express as are taken when using any air and water emitting cutting device.
  • Page 21 Do not proceed with using the laser if visibility in these areas is limited. TISSUE EVALUATION Any tissue growth (i.e., cyst, neoplasm and other lesions), either removed with Waterlase Express or conventionally, must be submitted to a qualified laboratory for histopathological assessment. TISSUE CONTACT AND TIP BREAKAGE Do not contact any hard surface with the Fiber Tip as it is very brittle and fragile and could break.
