ORTHO TRIBUNE | APRIl 2010 AAO Exhibitors 21 A MD LASERS™ , the manufac- turer of Picasso™ and Picasso Lite™ soft-tissue diode lasers, has taken the industry by storm, much to the delight of many ortho- dontists. Alan Miller, CEO of AMD LASERS, has developed a company model that is built around offer- ing the most affordable, easy-to- use soft-tissue laser supported by a comprehensive warranty, outstand- ing training and supreme customer support. Orthodontists who have incorpo- rated Picasso into their practice are enthusiastic about the results. “The Picasso is a great laser for orthodontic use,” said Dr. Lou Chmura, DDS, Marshall, Mich. “With it, you can do all the nor- mal procedures an orthodontist would normally perform. The pulse lengths are adjustable, which makes it easy to produce great results in a shorter time.” Picasso and Picasso Lite offer the perfect solution to creating exposure for bracket placement. Another application of use includes the removal of hyperplasic tissue in cases where the patients’ gums grow over the existing bracket. Orthodontists also appreciate Picasso’s ability to perform gingi- vectomies with no patient discom- fort and no post-operative sensi- tivity. On occasions when patients experience issues with their brack- ets creating gum irritations, Picasso can be utilized as a desensitizing device. Why have Picasso and Picasso Lite become the world’s best-selling lasers? Many orthodontists claim the unit’s success is due to its por- tability as the Picasso’s streamline design makes it easy to migrate from operatory to operatory. For those orthodontists making the transition to lasers, many report the Picasso is easy to learn and easy to use. The unit offers 7.0 watts of power and eight customizable presets. The Picasso Lite offers 2.5 watts and three customizable pre- sets. As a result, AMD LASERS has cre- ated a laser that is safe, easy-to-use and quite affordable. Orthodontists can integrate the Picasso into their practice for $4,995 and the Picasso Lite for $2,495. “Pricing is a key part of our strat- egy, and we certainly pride our- selves on the outstanding value offered by Picasso and Picasso Lite,” said Bart Waclawik, COO of AMD LASERS. “Yet, as much as offering the best price of any laser manufac- turer is important, our commitment to quality is equally important.” Picasso is supported by an indus- try-leading, three-year comprehen- sive warranty, and the Picasso Lite is supported by a two-year war- ranty. AMD LASERS ensures that each office is properly trained upon pur- chase of the laser unit. Training is facilitated by the International Cen- Soft-tissue lasers offer what you need ter for Laser Education (ICLE), and additionally, each dental practice is assigned a company dental profes- sional to contact for clinical advice and instruction.
