The wavelength of a laser is a product of the medium with which the laser is generated – crystal, gas, or, as with diode lasers, a semiconductor. The applications for which a laser can be used depend on the wavelength which, in turn, determines the absorption, i.e., the reaction of the light with the tissue. That is, the laser’s energy is transferred to the tissue.

The wavelengths of the three SiroLaser diodes

Wavelengths with the SiroLaser Blue
445 nm: outstanding cutting performance due to very high absorption in hemoglobin - even at lower power. Due to the fact that absorption is lower in water, correspondingly less heat develops in adjacent tissue.
660 nm: for "soft laser" applications such as LLLT or biostimulation.
970 nm: germ and bacteria reduction in Periodontology and Endodontics.
-
Wavelengths with the SiroLaser Advance & Xtend
970 nm: germ and bacteria reduction in Periodontology and Endodontics, surgical procedures.
-
Wavelengths with other diode lasers
810 nm / 940 nm: Wavelengths currently coming to clinical use in other dental diode lasers.
Why should you choose a diode laser or the SiroLaser Blue?
Very versatile
If we compare the areas in which the various kinds of lasers can be used, it quickly becomes obvious that diode lasers cover the widest range of treatments. The SiroLaser Blue comprises the complete spectrum of hard and soft lasers. In particular it impresses with its outstanding cutting efficiency through use of the 445nm wavelength.
Small & intuitive
Diode lasers are small, convenient and cost-effective devices which can be used flexibly and portably within your practice. The SiroLaser Blue is both extremely easy and intuitive to operate and stands out thanks to its exceptional design.
