| Class I Cavity
Prep |
 |
PRE-OP
Decay is present on the mesio-occlusal
surface of #14. |
 |
INTRA-OP
The Waterlase MD allows for
precise cavity preps with no pain,
needles or drills (in most cases).
Plus, you’ll remove minimal
amounts of tissue, helping the patient
to preserve as much tooth structure
as possible. |
 |
ONE-WEEK POST-OP
The composite restoration is
placed within minutes of the procedure
beginning, and the patient was sent
on their way with no discomfort
or no numb lip. |
