Epic laser
To efficiently remove tissues it is imperative to understand the nature of the EPIC 10 device. Please review this section carefully, practice on model tissues, and attend a diode laser training session before using this device in a clinical situation.
Indications For Use
Use of the EPIC 10 device may be appropriate for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of oral soft tissues including marginal and inter-dental gingival and epithelial lining of free gingiva and the following specific indications:
-
Excisional and incisional biopsies
-
Exposure of unerupted teeth
-
Fibroma removal
-
Frenectomy
-
Frenotomy
-
Gingival troughing for crown impressions
-
Gingivectomy
-
Gingivoplasty
-
Gingival incision and excision
-
Hemostasis and coagulation
-
Implant recovery
-
Incision and drainage of abscess
-
Leukoplakia
-
Operculectomy
-
Oral Papillectomies
-
Pulpotomy
-
Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy
-
Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
-
Soft tissue crown lengthening
-
Treatment of canker sores, herpetic and aphthous ulcers of the oral mucosa
-
vestibulopathy
-
Tissue retraction for impression
-
Laser soft tissue curettage
-
Laser removal of diseased, infected, inflamed, and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket
-
Sulcular debridement (removal of diseased, infected, inflamed, and necrosed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss, and tooth mobility.)
-
Light activation for bleaching materials for teeth whitening
-
laser-assisted whitening/bleaching of teeth
-
Topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain, the temporary increase in local blood circulation, the temporary relaxation of the muscle.
