DENTAL LASER FOR THE TREATMENT OF SOFT TISSUE

A dental laser comprises a hand piece having a grip region and a treatment tip with an outlet point, arranged at a distal end, for laser light, and further comprises a light source and light conduction means for providing laser light at the outlet point. The laser light has a wavelength of 445±20 nm, in particular, 445±10 nm and more particularly 445±5 nm, and an optical power output is provided at the outlet point in a power range of at least 2 W, advantageously at least 3 W and, in particular, 3.5 W. In another dental laser the laser light has a wavelength of 410±10 nm, and an optical power output is provided at the outlet point in a power range of no less than 1 W to no more than 2 W.
