• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The DioDent Dental Laser System is intended for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and/or coagulation of oral soft tissue (including marginal and interdental gingiva and epithelial lining of free gingiva).

Device Story

The DioDent Dental Laser System is a medical laser used by dental professionals for oral soft tissue surgery. It functions by delivering laser energy to perform incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissues. The device is operated by a clinician in a dental office setting. By providing precise tissue interaction, the laser facilitates various surgical procedures, including biopsies, lesion removal, and periodontal treatments, potentially offering improved hemostasis and clinical outcomes compared to traditional surgical methods.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Diode laser system for surgical soft tissue applications. Operates as a powered laser surgical instrument (Product Code GEX).

Indications for Use

Indicated for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis of oral soft tissue. Procedures include biopsies, fibroma removal, frenectomy, gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, implant recovery, abscess drainage, leukoplakia, operculectomy, oral papillectomies, pulpotomy, gingival hypertrophy reduction, sulcular debridement, aphthous ulcer treatment, and vestibuloplasty.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
