PERIODONTICS AREA
WARNING
Risk: Minor necrosis or scarring of the radicular area.
Countermeasure: When working in periodontal pockets, always aim the laser
parallel to, i.e. never perpendicular to, the roots. Run the distal end of the opti-
cal fiber over the entire inner surface of the periodontal pocket.

WARNING
Risk: Contractions in the apical region, small fusions and microfractures.
Countermeasure: Measure the depth and stop 1 mm above the root apex.
Never aim the optical fiber at a single point in the root apex for a longer period
of time. The optical fiber must be moved constantly during treatment. Start in
the apical region and work your way up to the crown.
