(Medical-NewsWire.com, October 19, 2012 ) Boca Raton, FL --- In an interview with 21st Century Business, Federico Pignatelli, BIOLASE’s Chairman and CEO, will focus on how WaterLase™ technology works as well as the tremendous health advantages it offers patients. The segment will air on various national cable networks with an audience of approximately 100 million viewers in aggregate.
BIOLASE’s revolutionary patented WaterLase technology is a truly biological and minimally invasive way to precisely cut hard tissue (e.g. bone and teeth) and soft tissue (e.g. gums and skin) without the heat, vibration or pressure associated with traditional dental devices, such as the dental drill. The WaterLase is essentially pain free in many cases. By eliminating the heat, vibration and pressure that result from most traditional dental methods, BIOLASE’s WaterLase systems drastically reduce and, in many instances, eliminate the need for anesthesia and can result in faster healing times versus traditional methods of treatment. Further, the WaterLase technology significantly reduces the risk of instrument cross-contamination associated with the re-use of dental burs from patient to patient, which is common practice among many dental offices.
“We are very pleased to showcase our revolutionary, patented WaterLase technology on 21st Century Business. Most people are afraid of the dentist, and many are hesitant to follow their dentist’s recommended treatment plans. We hope that this exposure will help more dental patients understand how our technology can dramatically reduce, and in many cases eliminate, pain and in turn eliminate their fear of the dentist,” Pignatelli said.
Longtime WaterLase dentist Dr. Howard Golan, DDS, JD, MWCLI, of Golan Family Dentistry in Williston Park, New York, said, “Many people do not go to the dentist because of fear. Millions of people allow their teeth and gums to suffer because they are afraid of all of the negative things associated with dentists. Every day, patients deal with the pain, bleeding, and swelling after traditional dental procedures and ask if there is something better. For years I used traditional methods that required sticking needles in my patient's mouths. No matter how good I was at giving shots, it is still a shot, and shots hurt. If the prick of the injection did not bother a patient, then the fat lip, the feeling that their face was swollen, and the other consequences of injections certainly did.
“Furthermore, the drill, scalpel, and some of the other traditional instruments that I used to work with on a daily basis are known to cause pain, swelling, and bleeding. The dental profession has accepted these methods and consequences as “normal,” but the WaterLase has shown that they are not absolute. BIOLASE’s WaterLase technology, specifically the WaterLase iPlus, has fundamentally changed the way I practice dentistry and in turn, has fundamentally improved the dental experience for my patients.
“WaterLase technology allows me to remove tooth structure, gum tissue, bone, bacteria, and other things in the oral cavity while significantly reducing the misery and fear associated with dental procedures. If a patient is more comfortable, then he or she will be more likely to follow through with recommended treatment plans, and properly care for their dental hygiene. WaterLase dentistry has allowed me to reduce the fear that patients have of the dentist. Having a cavity restored is no longer a painful experience. The sounds are different, the feelings are different, and the overall experience is vastly improved.
“While very efficient at cutting teeth, a traditional dental drill has a lot of negatives. Drills produce a lot of heat and vibration which can in turn cause the tooth to be temporarily or irreversibly damaged. This damage can ultimately lead to root canals and subsequently crowns. The WaterLase iPlus removes tissue in a minimally invasive manner, with laser-energized water. This significantly cools the tooth as it cuts and significantly reduces the need for anesthesia, as well as the risk of lacerations to the lip and tongue. It provides the dentist with a precise and safe cutting instrument to do a multitude of procedures including cavities and restorations, root canals, extractions, periodontal treatment, and cosmetic procedures,” concluded Golan.
