Waterlase is a family of dental lasers that utilise a "water-energizing" wavelength of 2,780 nm generated by a Er,Cr:YSGG (Erbium, Chromium:Yttrium Scandium Gallium Garnet) laser and an air and water handpiece - both patented by BIOLASE - that combine to symbiotically excite water molecules from within both the spray and the target tissue. This results in a biological, effective micro-ablation of tooth structure, bone or soft tissue.
