Indications, contraindications and
medical precautions
6.1
Indications
Compared to conventional dental surgery, treatment with the SIROLaser
offers the following advantages: less invasive, minimum cell destruction, less
bleeding, better coagulation, negligible post-operative edema. Treatment with
the laser is low-pain and not pain-free. We recommend using anesthetics if
necessary. The SIROLaser may be operated only by trained and qualified
personnel.

WARNING
Risk: Soft and hard tissue necrosis or overheating of the tooth.
Countermeasure: Use the laser beam like a scalpel, holding it perpendicular
to the surface under treatment, and never aim it at a single point for a longer
period of time. Do not select excessively high power levels for the laser.
