Spectralase diode laser is a really valuable addition to our bag of tricks. It is shortening treatment time and allowing me to get brackets on teeth, otherwise inaccessible. It is great. All my Ohio buds think the same. I am mostly doing exposures of cuspids, have done some operculectomies and gingivoplasties on lower second molars. Also, I am finding that a timed two minute application of the anesthetic gel is all I need. I can numb up to three areas at once and not have them complain of pain. All in all, I am glad I purchased, and I cannot figure out why I waited so darn long to jump into this
