6.1
Indications
Compared to conventional dental surgery, treatment with the
SIROLaser Xtend offers the following advantages: less invasive,
minimum cell destruction, less bleeding, better coagulation, and
negligible post-operative edema. Treatment with the laser is low-pain
and not pain-free. We recommend using anesthetics if necessary. The
SIROLaser Xtend may be operated only by trained and qualified
personnel.
NOTE
In terms of their power settings, all presets for surgical indications are
defined in a way to enable fast and efficient cutting performance.
Therefore, faster movement of the fiber tip could be required or an
adjustment of the power settings to reduce the required speed of fiber
tip movement.
