IRVINE, Calif., May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental
lasers, announced today that as dental offices plan to
reopen, recent guidance from the American Dental Association (ADA)
recommends reducing aerosol production as much as possible to help
prevent transmission of COVID-19. A key component of aerosol
production is water usage. During this critical time, dentists can
rely on Waterlase dental lasers, which use 80% less water compared
to traditional dental handpieces.
"During this pandemic, it is important to lean on any and all
resources that could potentially limit the spread of the virus,"
said Todd Norbe, CEO of BIOLASE. "We
are proud to be a part of the solution for dental professionals
looking to treat their patients in the safest way possible.
Providing dentists with innovative solutions to keep their practice
moving forward directly aligns with our mission of advancing
dentistry and ensuring patients and dentists have less to worry
about during procedures."
Waterlase is a minimally invasive dental laser that allows
dental professionals to perform more procedures in a quicker amount
of time. The laser can be used for multiple procedures, including
cavity preparation, periodontal procedures, restorations,
gingivectomies, frenectomies and more. The Waterlase combines
water, air and laser energy for a more gentle experience, limiting
the need for anesthetics, and promoting quicker healing times.
