(Medical-NewsWire.com, October 02, 2012 ) BOCA RATON, FL --- Fear and anxiety of the dentist can be a barrier to seeking dental treatment. Recent studies show that as many as 75% of adults in the U.S. experience some degree of dental fear. Drills, needles, and numb lips are some of the negative things associated with traditional dental care and can prevent people from taking a positive, proactive approach to their own dental care. The failure to obtain proper dental care can result in much more than lost teeth. According to the American Dental Association (the “ADA”), after two decades of research, it has been firmly established that an association exists between periodontal disease (which can result from poor dental care) and cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Federico Pignatelli, Chairman and CEO of BIOLASE, said, “We are very happy to showcase the many benefits of our revolutionary Waterlase technology on the 21st Century Business television series. Clinical evidence continues to demonstrate the superior benefits of Waterlase technology for the dentist and their patients. Our exposure on 21st Century Business will help more dental patients understand how our technology can help eliminate the fear and anxiety of visiting the dentist, including fear of needles, dental drills and pain.”
BIOLASE’s patented YSGG laser technology is an alternative solution to traditional dental drills and refers to the unique laser crystal used in the Waterlase system, which produces energy with specific absorption and tissue interaction characteristics. It is truly biological and minimally invasive and can precisely cut hard tissue, such as bone and teeth, and soft tissue, such as gums or skin, without the heat, vibration, or pressure associated with traditional dental treatments. By eliminating heat, vibration, and pressure, BIOLASE’s Waterlase systems reduce and, in most instances, eliminate the need for anesthesia and also result in faster healing times versus traditional methods of treatment.
Waterlase technology can also reduce the risk cross contamination between patients in the dental operatory, which is a real and widely documented risk. Research shows that burs and endodontic files cannot be properly sterilized for re-use. Using Waterlase technology for treating cavities, gum disease, root canals and other common conditions with patented single-use tips eliminates the risk of cross contamination from the re-use of endodontic files and burs with the high speed drill.
JL Haber, Vice President of Programming at Multi Media Productions, added, “As an innovator and a leader in the Dental Industry, BIOLASE is a natural fit for our show. We are excited to have them as a guest on our program to demonstrate their game-changing dental and medical technology.”
