The full report suite on the European market for dental lasers includes soft tissue dental lasers and all-tissue dental lasers. Dental surgical lasers, especially all-tissue lasers, are quite expensive in relation to most other dental equipment purchases, but they compensate with their wide range of applications in both hard and soft tissue operations. They can be used for incisions, excisions, periodontal treatment and bone surgery. With the all-tissue lasers, the switch from soft to hard tissue applications is as simple as a change in settings. Additionally, dental lasers provide greater patient comfort during painful and invasive procedures. Traditional tools such as scalpels often cause trauma to the affected areas of soft tissue. With dental lasers, there is a significant reduction in bleeding of the gums and pain associated with the incisions; coagulation of the blood vessels is promoted from the thermal heating of the tissue, while the nerve endings are sealed off, which prevents the patient from experiencing excessive pain.

All-tissue lasers are systems that can be used on both soft and hard tissue in the intraoral cavity. These lasers have unique clinical characteristics that surpass conventional tools such as scalpel and drill, thus having the potential to decrease the use of such tools and to create a high-tech atmosphere around the dental chair. The minimally invasive equipment makes patients much more comfortable, increases the efficiency, and therefore the return on investment for the dentist. Even though all-tissue lasers are fairly expensive investments for dentists, the short and long term benefits can quickly outweigh the initial expenditures, making them a valuable addition to dental practices.

The dental surgical laser market includes all-tissue and soft-tissue lasers. Dental surgical lasers result in operational benefits to dental practices by enhancing the appeal for patients to undergo treatments using modern technology over traditional methods. Dental surgical laser technology greatly enhances dentists’ efficiency and effectiveness of treatments as well as increases patient comfort and willingness to undergo uncomfortable procedures.
Soft-tissue lasers are dental lasers that are effective on tissues surrounding teeth and can be used to contour gingiva, sterilize the intraoral cavity and minimize bleeding during procedures. These lasers turn several dental procedures into painless, comfortable and rapid operations, significantly increasing patient satisfaction. Soft-tissue lasers can be categorized into diode, CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers.

The full report suite on the U.S. market for dental lasers includes soft tissue dental lasers, all-tissue dental lasers and welding lasers. Dentists are typically hesitant towards adopting emerging trends in the industry. The older generation of dentists tends to be conservative in their practice. In addition, dentists are often unwilling to invest a large sum of money into new technologies, especially with minimal research articles and publications verifying their effectiveness. In the past, minimal scientific proof deterred dentists from purchasing capital equipment such as dental surgical lasers.

All-tissue lasers are systems that can be used on both soft and hard tissue in the intraoral cavity. These lasers have unique clinical characteristics that surpass conventional tools such as scalpel and drill, thus having the potential to decrease the use of such tools and to create a high-tech atmosphere around the dental chair. Minimally invasive equipment makes patients much more comfortable, increases the efficiency and therefore the return on investment for the dentist.

Dental welding lasers are used by dental technicians to assist in the manufacturing and repair of restorations containing metal alloy material including crowns, bridges, partial dentures and dental implants. Dental welding lasers operate by beaming a concentrated infrared light onto two pieces of metal alloy and heating them until they fuse together. Another application is to repair damaged dental restorations by beaming an infrared laser light directly onto a thin piece of dental wire until it melts into a ball, which can then be fused to the restoration to repair it. This technology increases the productivity of dental laboratories by reducing the time required to manufacture dental restorations. Likewise, it also increases the convenience to lab technicians when repairing damaged prosthetic devices. The laser fuses the metal alloys without disrupting surrounding materials such as plastic and acrylics in dentures, saving the time that it would have taken a technician to fix.

In the United States, the administration of drugs through intravenous or intramuscular injection (parenterally) has been consistently rising since the 1990s. These injections are being performed not only through the traditional method of drawing a fluid from a vial or ampoule into a syringe through a hypodermic needle at the time of administration, but also through prefilled syringes. A doctor or nurse filling a syringe just before use can be a time-consuming process that can also increase the likelihood of incorrect dosage or the patient and medical professional being exposed to a caustic or otherwise harmful substance. Prefilled syringes not only address drug and device manufacturers’ concerns about drug overfill but also customers’ increasing concerns over patient safety and increasing procedural costs. Prefilled syringes are convenient and cost-effective devices that can be easily stored and disposed of, and they increase the likelihood of the drug being sterile and having the proper dosage, which is becoming an increasingly important factor as newer high-potency, longer-lasting drugs are being used across the medical industry.
