1. INTRODUCTION
The Sapphire
®
Portable Diode Laser unit is a dental soft-tissue laser surgical/debridement device. The
Sapphire Portable Diode Laser may be used for a variety of soft-tissue, gingival modification, and sulcular
therapy procedures.
Dental professionals and staff who will use the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser should receive proper laser use
training prior to patient treatment with these devices. Applicable training programs for dental Laser use are
available through the Academy of Laser Dentistry, dental schools, and many dental continuums. Your authorized
Den-Mat Holdings, LLC Representative can also provide the names of local dentists who have a Sapphire
Portable Diode Laser and may be able to provide additional guidance for new Sapphire Portable Diode
Laser users.
Safety is paramount when using any energy-based surgical instrument and your office should implement a safety
program for the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser. If your office does not already have a safety officer, one should
be appointed to be responsible for understanding proper use, safe operation, and maintenance of the Sapphire
Portable Diode Laser system. Their duties should include training office personnel in all aspects of system safety
and management of the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser and all accessories.
