Odyssey® Diode Laser

Ivoclar Vivadent Introduces Compact and easy-to-use soft tissue laser increases the level of patient care
Posted: October 20, 2003
Ivoclar Vivadent announces the introduction of the Odyssey® Diode Laser, the most user-friendly, compact, portable, and affordable soft-tissue laser for dentistry to date.

The Odyssey® enables clinicians to expand the level of care they provide to their patients based on the variety of procedures for which it is indicated. Featuring a laser wavelength of 810+/-20 nm, the Odyssey® provides convenient settings for crown lengthening, gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, operculectomy, frenectomy, excision and biopsy, tissue retraction, and treatment of soft tissue conditions such as aphthous ulcers and gingival hyperplasia. Additionally, preventive indications for hygiene and periodontal care can be enhanced by the laser. Bacterial decontamination and debridement of diseased tissue can also be administered quickly and efficiently using the laser.

“Laser usage is beginning to show spectacular growth in the dental industry,” commented Dr. George Tysowsky, Vice President of Technology. “For dentists striving to be on the leading edge of cosmetic and restorative practice, the Odyssey® Diode Laser will enable them to realize their full potential for providing patients with exceptional, complete dental care.”

Featuring the first-ever retractable fiber optic system and a simplified control panel, the Odyssey® Diode Laser satisfies clinicians’ long-standing need for an economical, quality-made laser that meets their esthetic and restorative demands.

Based on the latest and finest solid state diode laser technology, the Odyssey® features precise power output for accurate application and consistent wavelength output for smooth, precise, clean tissue modification. The small footprint (5.5” x 6.25” x 8.75”) and weight (approximately 5.5 pounds) help to conserve valuable counter space and facilitate portability among operatories. Additionally, the retractable optical fiber reduces the costs associated with accidental fiber breakage. The simplified control panel with two output modes (continuous wave and pulsed), and two power selector buttons will greatly reduce the learning curve.

More detailed information about the use of the Odyssey® Diode Laser for these applications can be found at www.GetOdysseyLaser.com, a website dedicated to educating dentists on the benefits of this innovative clinical tool.
