ABSTRACT:
The invention is an oral cleaning device incorporating a low power laser radiation source and means for producing pulsed or continuous wave delivery of low power radiation to teeth, gums and oral tissue. The device is used alone or in conjunction with a liquid jet or jets and/or with photosensitizer dental paste or liquid. The device destroys bacteria and viruses in the mouth and on surrounding tissue. It increases oral blood circulation and enhances the body's immune system response to oral infection. The device may be operated by a trained professional at three different repetition rate frequencies, selected by the operator to threat different dental conditions. The specific photosensitizer liquid or paste which is activated at a certain wavelength is chosen by the operator to treat different dental conditions. The device is also intended for home dental hygiene at low power.
