SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PULSING AND DIRECTING A PULSED LASER BEAM TO TREAT DENTAL TISSUE
A laser beam treatment system that delivers laser beam pulses to a dental treatment area according to a particular pattern is described. In various instances, the spacing of the pattern (e.g., locations at which pulses are delivered and the distances therebetween) and/or the timing of the pattern (e...

Summary: | A laser beam treatment system that delivers laser beam pulses to a dental treatment area according to a particular pattern is described. In various instances, the spacing of the pattern (e.g., locations at which pulses are delivered and the distances therebetween) and/or the timing of the pattern (e.g., amount of time between the delivery of pulses to a first location and a later location that abuts the first location) can have a demonstrable effect on ablation performance. The effects can include, for example: improved ablation efficiency, improved surface smoothness, improved material removal rate, and/or the absence of melt, carbonization or other negative surface features.
Système de traitement par faisceau laser qui fournit des impulsions de faisceau laser à une zone de traitement dentaire selon un motif particulier. Selon divers cas, l'espacement du motif (par exemple, emplacements auxquels des impulsions sont fournies et les distances entre ceux-ci) et/ou la synchronisation du motif (par exemple, quantité de temps entre la fourniture d'impulsions vers un premier emplacement et un emplacement suivant qui est contigu au premier emplacement) peuvent avoir un effet démontrable sur les performances d'ablation. Les effets peuvent comprendre, par exemple : une efficacité d'ablation améliorée, un lissé de surface amélioré, un taux d'élimination de matériau amélioré et/ou l'absence de fusion, de carbonisation ou d'autres caractéristiques de surface négatives. |
