Re: What do you know about waterlase technology?


1) How come this technique remains unknown even though it was approved
by the FDA long ago?

Because it is not so *revolutionary* that it convinces enough dentists to
invest.

2) What are its drawbacks if any?

Cost and inabiliy to remove most old restorations

3) Can this technique truly substitute for standard drilling for the
type of work I am considering?

If you are having small early decay in some teeth, it would be useful. IF
you are having major work done, ,,,,, nah.

4) Is specific expertise key for a dentist to practice waterlase
successfully?

You learn it quickly

5) If it was your own mouth, would you consider going the waterlase
route or not?

For tiny eary decay, yes, for other stuff, no However, I think Dartos has
a hard tissue laser and could comment better. I only use a soft tissue
laser.
