Twin benefits

A new la'ser developed by dental
equipment manufacturer KaVoUK
Limited shall save kids from the
dreaded ordeal they face at the dentist's. The use of lasers, though common in dentistry, has had limited
success due to their inability to
remove both the materials composing a tooth: the hard outer enamel
and the softer inner dentine. Lasers
currently have the capacity to
remove only one of these. Although
the new laser produces a concentrated beam that cuts through both
the layers, it is fit for use on children
only. The laser is much too slow to
be able totreat adult dental problems
like removing old metal fillings.
