VSP-shaped Er:YAG – The Optimal Hard Tissue LaserThe Er:YAG laser is recognized as the laser of choice for hard tissue applications in modern dentistry. Of all infrared lasers, the Er:YAG laser has the highest absorption in hard dental tissue, allowing cold optical drilling in enamel, dentin and composite fillings, without heating surrounding structures. With the added Fotona VSP Technology the Fidelis Er:YAG laser provides efficacy, precision and safety, unmatched by any other dental laser.

More Comfort and Safety at the Speed of a Mechanical DrillFidelis Er:YAG lasers provide hard tissue ablation through extremely short VSP-shaped pulses. Unlike standard mechanical drilling, or less evolved light-based solutions, almost no heat is diffused into the target tissue, since tissue laser interaction only occurs in square-shaped microsecond pulses. By thus laser drilling with maximum safety at speeds comparable to conventional means, you provide procedures that minimize discomfort for your patients.

SSP for Superior Precision and EfficiencyDuring hard tissue laser ablation laser light can be blocked by the ablation debris cloud from reaching its target, thereby reducing efficiency and precision. To maximize precision and efficiency, Fidelis’ SSP mode not only works faster than thermal diffusion inside hard tissue, but also works faster that the formation of the ablation debris cloud.

MAX Mode – Highest Performance BenefitsMAX mode is a unique combination of preset laser parameters, enabling you to enjoy the highest performance benefits from the Fidelis’ Er:YAG at the touch of a button. This mode reaches unrivalled drilling speeds and efficiency within well-defined safety limits, a feature that is especially advantageous when working through enamel. With the Fidelis’ MAX mode Fotona has effectively erased the limits of laser dentistry, enabling you to provide comfort, safety as well as unrivalled efficiency, efficacy and versatility in your treatment range to your patient.

FIDELIS APPLICATIONS4

Control of laser pulse duration with Fotona VSP technology is essential for efficient and effective laser- based dentistry, since shorter laser pulses provide faster ablation with minimal thermal side effects.

When laser ablation is faster than heat diffusion no unnecessary heat is deposited into the tissue.

When laser ablation is slow, the generated heat has time to diffuse into the tissue, potentially causing unwanted side-effects.

5FIDELIS APPLICATIONS

Increased Patient ComfortYour patients’ overall comfort is guaranteed by limiting thermal side-effects, and eliminating the unpleasant mechanical vibrations and noise. These characteristics are especially advantageous and invaluable in pediatric dentistry and for any patients who expect optimal service from their dental practitioner.

Surface Conditioning and Increased Bonding Strength Cavity preparation procedures with Fotona VSP-shaped Er:YAG laser leave a clean cavity surface without a smear layer, and with open dentinal tubuli – not achievable in classical methods without acid etching.

Faster ProceduresNeeding only one instrument, not having to wait for anesthesia to take effect and not requiring acid etching makes cavity preparation with the Fidelis Er:YAG laser faster and more convenient than the classical methods.

Selective Elimination of Decay – Minimally Invasive DentistrySince the Fidelis Er:YAG laser ablation speed in carious lesions is higher than in healthy dentin, Fidelis Er:YAG laser helps you to be extremely selective and preserve more healthy structural tissue. Additionally, Fidelis lasers enable you to remove sub-gingival caries without gingival bleeding, thus fulfilling the strong demands of high quality and cosmetically challenging filling therapy that you want to provide your patients.

Prevention of Further DecayThe destruction of bacteria during Fidelis Er:YAG laser ablation greatly reduces the risk of bacterial infection. In addition, Fidelis laser treatment results in a significant reduction of micro-leakage compared to classical procedures.

Water Spray for Optimal Safety and Efficacy ConditionsTissue desiccation under laser light reduces laser ablation efficacy. For improved safety and efficacy, the Fidelis optical Er:YAG handpieces enable you to simultaneously cool and moisten the tooth with an internal water spray system.

Fidelis laser treatments leave no smear layer and result in drop- shaped open tubuli that provide increased composite bonding strength.

INCREASE YOUR TREATMENT

SUCCESS RATE

ENDODONTICS

VSP-shaped Nd:YAG – Optimal Root Canal Disinfection The strong absorption of high peak power Fidelis Nd:YAG laser energy in bacteria and its deep penetration into the deepest dentinal tubuli, make this laser the ideal tool in endodontics. Fidelis Nd:YAG laser-assisted endodontics improve your therapy success rate even in cases of chronically or grossly inflamed lesions.

Disinfecting Deeper Than Any Other ModalityDue to their surface tension properties, conventionally-used chemicals cannot eliminate bacteria in dentinal tubuli deeper than 100 µm. Unaffected by surface tension, the Fidelis Nd:YAG laser disinfects up to 1000 µm inside the tubuli; much deeper than any other classical method.

High Peak Power for Effective DisinfectionEffective laser endodontics requires that all bacteria are rapidly, thermally destroyed before the generated heat can diffuse into the surrounding dental tissue. This can only be achieved by means of providing high peak powers in short VSP-shaped Nd:YAG pulses. The Fidelis’ Nd:YAG laser can reach peak powers of up to 1.000 times higher compared to other light-based solutions.

PERIODONTICS

Improved Attachment of FibroblastsAn important effect of the Fidelis Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser treatments is the modification of the root surface morphology and consequent improved attachment of fibroblasts to the treated root surface, which significantly improves treatment success rates and shortens recovery times. While the Fidelis Nd:YAG bactericidal effect is well-known in periodontics and endodontics, also the Fidelis Er:YAG laser provides simultaneous disinfection as it ablates diseased sulcular epithelium in micron-thin layers.

VSP-shaped Er:YAG for Scaling and Precise Root PlaningThe Fidelis Er:YAG laser is perfectly suited to effectively remove the most resistant concrements in even the most delicate and hard-to-reach places. In contrast to conventional scaling procedures, absolutely no force is necessary to clean the tooth surface, making the procedure extremely fast and efficient.

VSP-shaped Nd:YAG for a Strong Bactericidal EffectTypical applications for the high-precision Fidelis Nd:YAG laser in periodontics include gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, soft tissue crown lengthening and minor soft tissue recontouring. Treatment success is further improved since the Fidelis Nd:YAG laser ensures that even the most resistant bacteria are destroyed by its high peak power laser pulses.

SURGERY

Unmatched Advantages in a Complete Range of Surgical ProceduresLaser surgery has many advantages over conventional methods. The bloodless operating field provides an excellent view during the whole procedure ultimately shortening operating time. The shorter exposure time of open wounds reduces the risk of infection. Simultaneous disinfection of the tissue further decreases the risk of infection. Your patient will hardly feel any discomfort or will not feel any discomfort at all; the reduced need for local anesthesia shortens the overall procedure time and eliminates unwanted side-effects. Additionally, the elimination of the need for suturing with laser surgery increases your patient’s comfort to an even larger extent. And lastly, laser surgery provides faster wound healing with less post-operative discomfort and swelling.

VSP-shaped Nd:YAG for Smoother Soft Tissue SurgeryThe homogeneous absorption of Fidelis Nd:YAG laser light in soft tissue results in precise tissue vaporization with simultaneous sterilization and coagulation. For greater patient comfort and procedure speed, Fidelis laser systems provide the possibility for water-cooling. Fidelis Nd:YAG laser surgical applications include frenectomy, gingivectomy, fibroma removal, hemangioma removal, removal of peri-implant gingival overgrowth, and many other challenging procedures.

VSP-shaped Er:YAG for Effortless, Precise Bone and Soft Tissue SurgeryThe strong absorption characteristics of Fidelis Er:YAG laser light make it the ideal tool for bone surgery. Its ablative characteristics allow effortless micron layer-by-layer removal for the most delicate surgical procedures. In soft tissue surgery, the Fidelis Er:YAG laser is indicated for delicate procedures where a controlled coagulation effect or no coagulation is required. Its haemostatic capacity is small due to its excellent absorption in water and consequent minimal thermal effect in the surrounding tissues. In cases where haemostasis is required, longer VSP-shaped pulse modes can be used to increase the thermal effect. The Fidelis Er:YAG laser is a very versatile and efficient instrument for complex procedures that require precision and versatility. Fidelis Er:YAG laser surgical applications include leukoplakia removal, lichen planus removal, gingivoplasty, bone surgery, elimination of diseased sulcular epithelium, frenectomy and fibroma removal and many other challenging procedures.

Fidelis Plus III: Power and versatility in one system.
