PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Fiberless Core Tech™
The laser lives in the handpiece. No fragile fibers. No consumables. Just reliable performance.
The 2940nm Er:YAG wavelength has the highest
water absorption of any dental laser wavelength.
The Fiberless Core Tech™ Advantage
A more reliable laser delivery system, built by eliminating fiber optics entirely.
Traditional dental laser systems rely on fiber optic cables to deliver laser energy from the source to the treatment area. These fibers are fragile, degrade over time, and require regular replacement, adding cost and downtime to practices.
Fiberless Core Tech™ eliminates fiber optics entirely by engineering the laser source and delivery optics inside the handpiece. Paired with the 2940nm Er:YAG wavelength, which matches the peak absorption of water in oral tissue, the result is direct, efficient beam delivery with precise ablation, minimal thermal damage, and no loss of power over time.
Inside the Fiberless Core Tech™ Handpiece
Fiberless Core Tech™ combines 2940nm Er:YAG performance, internal air delivery, and active cooling into one fully integrated handpiece cavity.
2940nm Er:YAG Rod
The Gold Standard Wavelength
The 2940nm wavelength has the highest absorption in water and hydroxyapatite. Because energy is absorbed almost instantly by water molecules, it does not travel deeply into surrounding tissue, resulting in safer, controlled cutting.
- Precise hard and soft tissue ablation
- Minimal thermal penetration
- Reduced carbonization and microfractures
- Controlled cutting depth
- Improved healing response
Flash Lamp Technology
High Peak Power up to 8.4W
The integrated flash lamp excites the Er:YAG crystal with high peak pulse energy, delivering consistent output up to 8.4 watts. High peak power means faster ablation with less mechanical pressure, improving ergonomics and reducing chair time.
- Efficient cutting performance
- Stable pulse delivery
- Reduced procedure time
- Reliable performance during demanding cases
Internal Air System
True Clinical Mobility
An internal air channel connects directly to the console's built-in pump. No external compressor required. No wall air dependency.
- Clean operatory setup
- Reduced hose clutter
- Seamless movement between treatment rooms
- Flexible multi-chair use
Active Internal Cooling
Continuous Performance
The integrated cooling tube connects to the internal water tank to regulate cavity temperature during operation. For high-volume practices, this reliability is essential.
- Stable laser output
- Protection of internal components
- Extended procedural use
- Long-term system durability
Key Advantages
Fiberless Core Tech™ delivers measurable benefits for dental practitioners and their patients.
Superior Reliability
No fiber breakage or degradation means fewer service calls and virtually zero downtime.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Eliminating consumable fiber tips and replacement costs translates to significant savings over the life of the system.
Consistent Power Output
Direct beam delivery maintains full power from day one through the life of the system, no gradual power loss.
Compact Design
The integrated design results in a smaller, lighter system that fits easily into any clinic.
Patient Comfort
Drill-free, needle-free procedures reduce patient anxiety and discomfort, improving acceptance and satisfaction.
Virtually Maintenance Free
Fewer moving parts and no consumable components mean the system requires minimal ongoing maintenance.
Clinical Applications
Fiberless Core Tech™ enables a wide range of hard and soft tissue procedures from a single device.
Hard Tissue
Cavity preparation, caries removal, and tooth enamel etching without drills or vibration.
Soft Tissue
Gingivectomy, frenectomy, crown lengthening, excisional and incisional biopsy, coagulation, and operculectomy with minimal bleeding and faster healing.
Bone
Osteotomy and osseous recontouring with precise control and reduced thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
Implant Site Preparation
Shaving, contouring, and resection of oral osseous tissue for implant site preparation.
Other Applications
Benign and malignant lesion removal, sulcular debridement, and additional soft tissue procedures.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry
Many procedures can be performed without anesthetic needles or drills, enhancing the experience for both practitioner and patient.
