Smartbleach® KTP laser (532 nm)

Product operations

How Smartbleach works:

Photobleaching effect
The wavelength of the KTP laser (532 nm) is one of the few wavelengths that are capable of Photobleaching, next to the 290 nm and 365 nm (both high energy ultraviolet lights). This bleaching technique breaks down the stained molecules (including tetracyclines) present within the top third of the dentine.

Basic pH of the Smartbleach gel
The percentage of perhydroxyl radicals is much greater than the oxygen’s percentage of radicals due to the laser’s strong basis (PH 9.5 – 10), interaction with the Smartbleach gel. Perhydroxyl radicals are 50% more active than the oxygen radicals. Consequently, the effect of bleaching using this method is greater than with other systems.

Photochemical technique
This technique induces/generates a higher production of free radicals than does the standard thermal activation of hydrogen peroxide. As a result there is a limited heat build-up in the pulp tissue and the Smartbleach gel retains its elevated temperature for a longer period of time while also releasing a greater number of active radicals.

Other KTP laser treatments:

Surgical applications:
The high level of absorption in hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin and melanin makes the KTP laser ideal for minor surgeries with perfect haemostasis. The limited temperature effect on the surrounding tissue does not cause necrosis and therefore, no post-operative complications. This makes the KTP laser a very safe piece of equipment to use in minor surgeries.

Sterilizing technique
Sterilization in endontic and periodontic treatments are achieved by the thermal effects of the KTP laser on bacterial flora.

Tooth neck hypersensitivity:
Sealing of the dental tubuli is obtained through glazing the exposed dentin surface.
