Erbium-YAG (2940 nm)

This is the first time that hard-tissue work has been really enjoyable!

With as much as 20 watts of power and 20 Hz of variable pulsing, this Er:YAG is the highest performance fibre-guided laser of its time.

elexxion duros - when the going gets tough.

The elexxion duros is a new Er:YAG laser with as much as 20 watts of application power and 20 Hz of variable pulse rate.

The typical characteristics of this laser system (2940 nm), together with elexxion’s innovations, provide amazing results in hard-tissue work. True to our philosophy, we don’t claim that the Er:YAG can tackle any indications which in fact it can’t.

Er:YAG is for treating hard tissue, not soft tissue.

Its unique design means it does not need any external connections for compressed air or water. But don’t just take our word for it.

Applications

Hard tissue	preparing cavities conditioning enamel Carious defects Preparation near dental pulp Root tip resection Bone ablations Implants Removal of concrements Adhesion techniques

Frequently asked questions

What can a modern laser achieve in hard tissue?

Medical benefits

Low pain levels – patient-friendly
Minimally invasive therapy
Good ablation – time required about the same as with a turbine
Use in implantology – gentle and effective removal of biofilm
Sterile area of application

What kind of practices require a laser for hard tissue?

Wherever the following treatments are frequently carried out

Carious defects
Preparation near dental pulp
Root tip resection
Bone ablations
Implants
removal of concrements
Adhesion techniques

If many of your patients are

Children
Hypersensitive to pain
People with an extreme phobia of turbines/needles
Private patients
Patients with high expectations
Patients who are willing to pay additional contributions

What are the financial benefits of this laser for the practice?

Financial benefits

If you generate just €40/day (over 20 working days), that’s €800 of additional income per month
Leasing rate less than €800/month
The time required for conventional cavity preparation often calls for the use of anaesthesia. With laser preparations, this can often be dispensed with
Excellent opportunity to showcase your practice as innovative and patient-friendly
Reputation as a practice that uses laser treatment results in positive patient selection
