INTRODUCTION
The NV Microlaser is a dental diode laser that can be used for many dierent
soft tissue procedures. Laser technology has enabled dentistry to provide less
invasive treatment for many dental procedures, both preventative and restorative.
The Discus Dental® NV Microlaser™/NV Ortho™represents a new phase in dental
laser technology. With its streamlined design, you can perform a range of soft-
tissue procedures with ease, without worrying about ber management and
dealing with power cords. We designed the NV Microlaser™/NV Ortho™ to be a
compact wire-free laser that makes your day-to-day operations more ecient
and productive. For a list of approved procedures, please refer to page 13. All the
controls you need are accessible on the handheld unit which is lightweight and
extremely mobile.
Choosing to integrate laser science into your practice yields many benets,
including increased patient comfort, satisfaction and more ecient dental
care. To get the maximum benets of laser technology, consider joining a study
group so that you can exchange tips and ideas with fellow professionals. It’s
also an excellent way to keep abreast of the latest procedures and technological
advantages. A great place to start is the Academy of Lasers Dentistry, www.
laserdentistry.org.
The Discus website, www.discusdental.com, also provides information on new
products, accessories, and educational assistance for you and your professional
sta. If you have any questions regarding the use of the NV Microlaser™/NV
Ortho™, please call our toll-free support line. We’re here to help.
Intended Uses
The NV Microlaser™/NV Ortho™ is intended to be used for oral soft tissue
surgery, including: sulcular debridement of diseased brous tissue, i.e., excision
and biopsy; gingivectomy; gingivoplasty; lesion (tumor) removal; broma
removal; tissue retraction (troughing); apththous ulcers; gingival hyperplasia
(excision and recontour); crown lengthening; operculectomy; frenectomy; and
photocoagulation. In addition, the NV Microlaser™ /NV Ortho™ may be used for
periodontal procedures, including: laser soft tissue curettage; laser removal of
diseased, infected, inamed, or necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket;
removal of highly inamed edematous tissue aected by bacteria penetration of
the pocket lining; and junctional epithelium.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The progress achieved in recent years in ber optics and diode lasers technology
has made it possible to have commercial devices with multi-watt output power in
the near-infrared spectrum.
Welcome to the NV Microlaser™!

This laser technology is now being used in many areas of medicine and dentistry,
particularly oral surgery, arthroscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery,
dermatology and plastic surgery. The intended uses of these laser devices include
hemostasis, incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of tissue.
In dentistry, usage of laser devices ranges from cosmetic surgery to treating
periodontal disease.
As the dental laser industry grows, there is an increased demand for portable soft
tissue lasers. In today’s market, customers want a more portable laser solution to
avoid oce clutter and to reduce setup time. It has also become apparent that
a relatively low-power laser (2.0 maximum watts and 808 nm) covers virtually all
laser surgical requirements. The NV Microlaser™/ NV Ortho™ is the rst soft-tissue
laser developed as a handheld unit. It is wireless, lightweight, easy to set up,
simple to use, requires less power, and is cost ecient.
With NV Microlaser™/NV Ortho™, Discus Dental® introduces a proprietary
adjusting module for coupling a diode laser with a disposable ber. Fiber accuracy
is better than 5mm and the alignment is extremely stable. A module with a
specic lens was developed in order to achieve such precision and alignment. This
design greatly simplies the ber management and setup of operatory time as
the ber is attached into the tip allowing this item to be disposable and simple to
use. No ber scoring is needed as the disposable tip is provided already scored to
decrease setup time and user’s error.
Laser and Charging Unit
The Laser and Charging Unit comprise the following major modules:
The laser diode assembly contains one single-emitter laser diode of 2.0 watt
output power (Class IV laser) lasing at 808 nm. The diode laser is directly coupled
to a lens and aligned to the ber optic inside the removable tips, using a 2 axis
alignment system (patent pending).
Charging Unit
NV Microlaser™

The NV Microlaser™/NV Ortho™ is designed to dissipate heat during normal
operation. The laser module is mounted towards the tip of the unit, which acts as a
heat sink during normal operation. The temperature is monitored by a sensor that
prevents overheating.
The laser power controller provides electric power to the diode in continuous
wave and pulsed mode. It supplies about 2 VDC and current up to 4A to the
diodes. The controller contains a high eciency DC to DC converter that converts
the battery voltage to the precise voltage needed for laser operation. This ensures
that the majority of the energy is used for light and not converted into heat.
The delivery tips with ber built in consist of 400 micron core multi-mode,
optical ber, and a precise alignment mechanism. The ber is factory installed into
the tip and requires no installation by the end user.
The foot-switch is a (UL-approved) commercial foot-switch that provides
hands-free ON/OFF capabilities. This switch controls initiation/termination
of laser power wirelessly using 2.4GHz frequency. (Note: some models come with
a shrouded foot pedal)
Delivery System Specications
The delivery system is composed of a disposable, one time use plastic tip with
an optical quartz ber built in. The optical ber diameter is 400µm attached to a
custom made steel connector that precisely attaches via a magnet onto the laser
aperture component. The magnet acts as a guide with a precise tolerance for a
unique t of the disposable tip on to the laser unit.

Disposable Laser Tips
Each ber tip is protectively wrapped in its own package. The ber tips are pre-
scored and pre-stripped. Before attaching the tip, submerge it in a solution of
Cavicide® (or equivalent product) for 3 mins. The tip must only be used for a single
procedure and then properly disposed.
The tip slips easily onto the laser shaft, aligning on the ridges. The unit contains
a strong magnet, which snaps the tip into place and aligns the tip with the laser
aperture. When the tip is connected, there is visual verication indicating that the
tip is properly attached and the laser unit is on standby waiting to be used.
You can attach the disposable tip in six dierent positions, allowing the user to
reach dicult areas during surgical soft-tissue procedures.
NOTE: The disposable plastic hand piece tips are supplied non-sterile by the
manufacturer and must be discarded in an infectious waste container (SHARPS)
after each use. There is no re-use or re-sterilization procedure indicated.
NOTE: Steeply bending or improperly securing the ber tip may lead to damage
to the laser delivery system and/or harm the patient or user.
