FOTONA LightWalker DT

               Fotona LightWalker DT Dental Laser

The LightWalker model DT come standard with dentistry’s two most effective laser wavelengths:

The Er:YAG and Nd:YAG for no-compromise dentistry with a touch of the control screen.

                                  Universal Laser System

It is a well-established fact that different dental procedures require different laser wavelengths. Wavelength is important because specific oral

tissues react in different ways depending on the particular laser source. With the choice of two complementary wavelengths (in terms of their effect

on tissues) LightWalker comes very close to being a “universal” laser. Practically all laser-assisted dental treatments can be performed with either the most highly absorbed Er:YAG laser wavelength or the most homogeneously absorbed Nd:YAG laser wavelength.                       

                    TwinLight® Treatment Concept

The combination of the two best wavelengths in one laser system enables practitioners to perform not only single-wavelength but also dual -wavelength (TwinLight®) treatments. Utilizing both wavelengths in a treatment makes optimum use of the unique laser-tissue interaction characteristics of each wavelength. For example, Nd:YAG laser

energy is superior for coagulation and deep disinfection while Er:YAG is uniquely efficient at ablating hard and soft tissues. Combined, they can

greatly expand the range of treatment possibilities and dramatically improve the outcome of laser-assisted treatments In LightWalker, both “gold standard” laser wavelengths are produced by solid crystal lasers

that can significantly outperform diode lasers in terms of peak power and the range of pulse. durations. Fast efficient cutting with unmatched

patient comfort. The homogeneous absorption of the Nd:YAG

laser in soft tissue results in controlled tissue vaporization with simultaneous coagulation for superior healing and disinfection.
