Designed to replace the use of scalpels and electro-surge in the treatment of soft tissue, the Picasso Lite soft tissue dental laser from AMD Lasers is priced at $2495 and offers 2.5 watts of power and three customizable presets.
According to company President/CEO Alan Miller, “Picasso Lite was designed specifically for first-time laser dentists and hygienists and, at one-fifth the cost of other lasers, it’s truly affordable.” The product cuts and coagulates tissue with reduced trauma, bleeding, and necrosis of tissue and is used for soft tissue surgery, including troughing, gingevectomies, frenectomies, exposing implants/teeth/ortho brackets, and treating aphthous ulcers and herpetic lesions.
The company introduced the first Picasso soft tissue laser in 2009.
