HerbBeamish & mvbellemtr -Always get your ducks in a row before making a fool of yourself! This preparation was clearly done on an extracted tooth fixated on a model for the purpose of this demo. If you find out exactly how lasers function, you'll know that due to the wavelength of a hard tissue laser, it is unlikely that you'll "hit the nerve".

its amazing how a lazer can do that to a tooth, but i find i can do a better crown prep with conventional burs, the final prep doesnt look smooth and depths dont look very even. just my opinion :-)

OMG. Please children watch the video fully then comment.

Notice that the teeth are extracted - So it's not malpractice! The teeth were available for demo so they were used to show the wonders the magic wand can do. Expensive wand (near $80000 from what I have seen - Waterlase MD) but does really work so well! Probably little slower than conventional procedures but less use of LA, increase in pt satisfaction and a new toy to play with! lol. Thanks for the upload! Won my votes.

i think old metods like using diamond burs is better you can give a better shape to the preparation and you already have the size of the preparation whit the lasser if you dont have a good grip or pulse you are destined to fail in the preparation also it takes longer lol

just drill... the lazer takes to long.....and I bet it cost more.....

[kotoboto81]

i agree 

[flamebrain63]

conventional method still seems more efficient. Sufficient water cooling and sensible technique will reduce the risk of 'frying' the pulp. Thats not even mentioning the cost factor.

watch the youtube video "major lazer pon de floor"

ok it could work , but i prefer the conventional way coz this looks far away from conservative treatment that I believe in . It was too close to the pulp.

I had this used on one of my molars. I wasn't numbed up and didn't feel a thing. My dentist has gone back to the drill. I asked him why and he said the machine was too loud. Too bad. That is why I am hesitating going back to him for a crown prep.

so did you guys book that poor patient for a 7-day appointment tell this is done! lol

I am sorry to say that hard tissue lasers are still a joke! (unfortunately!)
