SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Precise® LTM 5 Watt Soft Tissue
Diode Laser. CAO Group (CAO) has been manufacturing diode
lasers for nearly a decade and we proud of our record of quality,
performance, and safety. Today, the diode laser has become the
standard of care in addressing the common soft tissue issues dental
professionals must address every day. CAO diode lasers are used
to create beautiful soft tissue that compliments the radiant smile
created for your patients; to quickly and safely control bleeding
and provide room for impression material; to relieve pain and
discomfort from aphthous ulcers; and for a wide range of other
procedures that make dental visits easier, faster, and better.
With a Precise® LTM Diode Laser you will nd that soft tissue
procedures are performed more quickly and easily and that your
patients will also be more comfortable and tissue will heal more
quickly compared to other typically used methods (e.g., scalpel,
electrosurgery). Based on reports from many dentists and dental
hygienists, we believe that you too will quickly achieve these
same benets.
To help speed your comfort and familiarity with using your Precise
LTM laser, CAO has put together three different training tools that
are available to you at no charge.
•
Introduction to Easier Soft Tissue Management with the
Precise® LTM – this online course is designed to help you
and your team understand the benets of using the Precise
laser, how it operates, how to use it to better manage
soft tissue, how and where to begin using the Precise LTM.
•
In-ofce hands-on training when convenient. Our sales professionals
will conduct an in-ofce hands-on review of the Precise LTM and
overview its use as well as train your staff on its easy operation.
REMINDER
Always test re the laser outside the mouth before using it on a patient. The
doctor or hygenist, the patient, and any staff member present in the operatory
should be wearing the appropirate safety eyewear whenever the laser is being
operated. Strict adherance to protocols for safe laser use is essential.

2.2.1 Power Cord Installation
Remove the AC adapter and the AC power cord. Push or plug
the power cord rmly into the adapter. Plug the small adapter
cord into the appropriate receptacle on the back of the laser.
To prevent power surges due to electrical storms or spikes in line
voltage, we recommend that you use a power strip with a surge
suppressor or unplug the laser when you are not present. Plug
the power cord into a 110 Volt AC outlet rated at 60 Hz. Be sure
to position the equipment such that you can quickly access and
disconnect the power cord connection from the back of the unit
if the need arises.
2.2.2 Power/Fan Switch and Key Switch
The Power/Fan Switch for the laser and fan is the rst item you
turn on each day. The switch is located on the rear panel of the
laser near the lower left hand corner. The Key Switch is the major
circuit breaker for your laser. It will be the second item you turn on
when activating the laser each day. Place the laser key into the
key receptacle located near the right-hand side on the front of
the laser. (See Figure 4 above.) Check the key switch by pushing
in and turning the key clockwise, approximately 1/4 of a turn. This
is the (ON) operating position for the key. The fan will start when
the power/fan switch is on and the key is turned. Prior to leaving
the ofce, the laser safety ofcer should check to see that the
key switch has been turned off and the key removed and stored
by the LSO.
Precise® LTM Remote Interlock
The Precise® LTM laser is equipped with a Remote Interlock Jack.
The Remote Interlock Jack is provided so that a clinician may install
the laser in a dedicated laser treatment room such that the laser
will be interlocked with the entrance door of the room. In such
an interlocked installation, the laser would shut off anytime the
door is opened, hypothetically, to protect the person’s eyes who
is entering the room. It is recognized that such installment is not
facilitated nor required in many operatories or clinics. To that end,
the Remote Interlock is available to any practitioner that requires
it. The Remote Interlock Jack is located and clearly labeled on the
rear of the laser. The miniphono jack is wired in the normally closed
position; meaning that no further action is required to operate the
laser without the interlock loop. If the interlock loop is desired you
may purchase the loop from a local electronics store. You need
only to inform the local electronics store that you require a mini
(1/8”) phono jack wired into a normally open momentary switch
and select the switch design that best suits your needs. To install the
loop, install the switch on the door and simply plug the miniphono
jack into the Remote Interlock Jack on the rear of the laser.
2.2.3 Wireless Foot Pedal Battery Installation
Remove the battery cover from the underneath side of the foot
pedal. Insert the enclosed 9 Volt Lithium battery. Replace the
battery cover. The foot switch is now ready for operation.
1. Insert a Phillips-head screwdriver into the screw holding
down the battery cover. Rotate the driver counter-
clockwise until the screw comes out completely. Repeat
for the other screw holding down the battery cover.
2. Push down on one end of the battery cover while
simultaneously lifting up on the other end to remove it.
3. Locate the battery terminal inside the well and pull the
terminal out. Do not pull excessively on the wires.
4. Remove the battery from its packaging and attach the
battery to the terminal.
5. Place the battery in the well with the connector to the
same side as where the wire leads emerge from the
housing.
6. Replace the battery cover and replace the two screws.
Turn the driver clockwise to tighten the screws. The
screws are sufciently secure once they no longer turn
with gentle nger-applied force. Do not over-tighten.
Place the pedal face up. Allow at least 1 minute after
completing this procedure before turning on the laser.
Note A: An extra 9 Volt Lithium battery should be
kept in your ofce inventory as the battery should
be replaced every 100 hours of continuos operation.
Note B: Make sure the laser is completely turned
off before replacing the battery in the foot pedal.
Note C: Place the pedal face down on a hard, clean
surface.
2.2.4 Disposable Fiber Cartridge
When it comes time to install a new cartridge, carefully
remove the new ber cartridge from the packing.

1. Turn system off. To replace the ber cartridge, make sure
the ber is removed from the handpiece and the ber is
fully retracted into the cartridge.
2. Carefully pull the old cartridge sideways away from the
laser until the cartridge is fully removed.
3. Reach into the cartridge bay to disconnect the optical
ber. This is done by unscrewing counterclockwise the
connector from the housing, then pulling the connector
straight out. Set the old cartridge aside.
4. Position the new cartridge adjacent to the open bay.
Carefully remove the dust cap from the end of the
connector. CAUTION: Do not touch the end of the
connector with your nger or with any object. Insert the
connector into the port.
5. Push on the connector while screwing clockwise. Give
a gentle tug on the connector (not the ber cable) to
ensure the connector is locked in place.
6. Position the cartridge to line up with the guide tabs on the
side of the bay.
7. Slowly push the cartridge into the bay until the outside
surface is ush with the side of the unit. Make sure the
optical ber coil is retracting inside the cartridge as you
do so. Turn on the power to the laser system.
8. Press the Extend and Retract buttons to ensure the ber is
moving properly. If it does not, push the cartridge into the
bay further.
9. Don’t look directly at the aiming beam! Make sure the
aiming beam indicator is at a value other than zero (0),
then press the Ready button. DO NOT press the foot
pedal. The aiming beam should be visible from the end of
the ber. If it is not, then remove the cartridge and conrm
that the ber connector is securly attached.
Note: Never re working beam if the ber is fully retracted
in cartridge.
2.2.5 Laser Stop Switch
Before you can activate the laser, you must rst check to see if the
laser stop switch is locked in the “in” or “out” position. The switch is
the red button located on the top of the laser. Engage the switch
by pressing it. The button must be “in” to operate. The display
on the control panel should now be lighted. To interrupt laser
emissions in an emergency, depress the button again to the “out”
position. If you nd that the display is still not operational, check
all attachments, keys and switches to see that they are securely
installed and, that you have an active wall plug for electricity.
(See Troubleshooting Section). If the laser cannot be activated,
please contact your authorized distributor who can help you
troubleshoot. If the control panel does light up when you enable
the laser stop, you should test the switch again by depressing it
to turn the laser off. If the laser stop switch is in the “out” position,
the laser will not turn on.
Note: This is not a power switch.
2.3 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS
In order to insure the safe use of the laser in your facility, please
check to make sure that the proposed location has the following:
2.3.1 Power Requirements
110 -120 VAC ± 10 % at 60 Hz, 1.5 Amps
Frequency Range: 45 - 63 Hz
9 Volt Lithium battery
2.3.2 Heating, Ventilation, and Humidity
The room where the laser is used should have good cooling and
heating system so that the laser can be operated within the
optimum range of 20 - 30ºC (68 - 86ºF). Avoid storing or transporting
the laser in temperatures below 0º Celsius (32º F). Operating and
storage humidity should be 5-95% RH.
2.3.3 Lighting
Overhead lighting and/or dental unit light should provide enough
illumination to allow good operator vision when activating the
laser intra-orally.
2.3.4 Combustible Chemicals and Gases
All gases that are combustible or support combustion and are used
in the operatory area where the laser is in use must be turned off
and ventilated during the procedure. Cleaning supplies or other
ammable chemical compounds should be stored in an area
away from the surgical site in order to avoid possible combustion.
2.3.5 High Speed Vacuum Systems
Plume evacuation is a priority when vaporizing tissues. The clinician
or operator, and their chair-side assistants should keep themselves
and the patient safe by using a high volume vacuum system and
high ltration masks that are suitable for virus and bacterial control.
2.3.6 Access and Visual
Access to the treatment area should allow the dental team to
restrict entry while the laser is in use. There should be a Danger
Laser In Use Safety Sign placed in a designated area adjacent
to the entry into the treatment area. See Figure 40 on page 13.
SECTION 3: OPERATING YOUR LASER
3.0 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE USING
YOUR LASER
The safe use of the Precise LTM® is the responsibility of the entire
dental team including the doctor and the Laser Safety Ofcer
(LSO) appointed from the dental ofce team. Protocols for the safe
use of lasers have been developed by a combination of medical
and dental professionals working in concert with educators at
the university level, scientists and laser manufacturers. Dental
professionals have had to develop protocols and guidelines
for using the laser on oral soft tissues. Sound judgment and the
concern for patient safety should be the basis of all laser care.
The following entities have inuence over laser use.
3.0.1 In-Ofce Safety Issues
•
Lighting & Ventilation: Always use the Precise® LTM in a well
lit and ventilated area. Make certain that chemicals or gases
capable of supporting or causing combustion are not present
when using the laser. Use high volume vacuum to remove
the laser “plume” and provide a high ltration masks for all
Figure 22 - Laser Stop disabled (“IN”)Figure 21 - Laser Stop enabled (“OUT”)

7
people including the patient, present in the treatment area
during lasing.
• Safety Eyewear: While using the Precise® LTM laser, doctors,
auxiliary staff, patients, and anyone attending them in the
operatory must wear the laser glasses provided with the
Precise® LTM system, which is appropriate for use with this
type of device. If additional glasses are obtained, they must
have the same specications for wavelength and optical
density as the glasses provided with this equipment. Never
point the laser tip directly at the face, eyes or skin of anyone
while emitting energy. The aiming beam is also capable of
causing eye damage.
• Test Firing the Laser: Always test-re the Precise® LTM prior to
using it intra-orally. Using a power of 1 Watt continuous wave
or less, place the laser in the ready mode. Then, activate
the laser for 1 - 2 seconds while aiming the ber onto a 2 x 2
gauze sponge moistened with water. Do not use alcohol or
any other combustible material to moisten the 2 x 2 sponge
as it may ignite.
•
Fiber Preparations: After cleaving and stripping the ber,
photo-initiation of the ber tip will allow the operator to remove
tissue more rapidly when contact procedures are indicated.
Gingival debris on the tip will retain the heat and it should be
removed. The tip will also begin to blacken and deteriorate
as it retains the heated debris and can break if not removed
by cleaving it. Clean the tip often using a 2 x 2 gauze sponge
moistened with water. Do not use combustible liquids to moisten
the 2 x 2.
•
Danger - Laser In Use Signage: Each operatory where the
Precise® LTM is used should have a “Laser In Use” sign placed
at the operatory entrance when a procedure is in progress.
This signage will help to reduce occurences of eye damage
caused by inadvertent exposure to laser energy. See Figure
40 on page 13.
•
Sharps Disposal and Sponge Removal: Remove cleaved ber
remnants and place them into a sharps container for disposal.
All sponges used for cleanup of lasers and bers should be
disposed of in a bag for contaminated soft products.
•
Plume Evacuation: Use high volume evacuation
suction during procedures to remove laser smoke or
‘plume’ debris. Use masks suitable for viral ltration.
Caution - laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates.
•
Key Switch: When the key switch is in the ON position (turn
clockwise to the right so it is 90 degrees in the vertical position),
the laser has been enabled and can be activated while in the
READY status. When not in use, insure that the key has been
turned off or that the laser is placed in the STANDBY status.
• Safety Education: Provide comprehensive safety procedure
training for all ofce personnel and include the staff in all outside
laser courses when possible. Be certain that all members of the
dental team understand how the laser works and can advise
patients as to their safety and advantages over conventional
procedures.
•
Laser Security: To prevent the unauthorized use of the laser
while not in use, the key should be removed from the unit and
maintained by the LSO.
•
Laser Stop Options: Any of these mechanisms can be used to
shut down the emission of laser energy in a real or perceived
emergency.
1. Foot Pedal – remove your foot to stop lasing
2. Engage the laser stop button
3. Key – turn off the key
4. Switch the Power to the off position (O)
5. Power Cord – unplug from the wall outlet
•
Hard Tissue Procedures: The Precise® LTM diode is not an
appropriate laser for hard tissue procedures. The diode laser
is attracted to melanin, hemoglobin and to some extent, to
water and oxygenated hemoglobin. Avoid prolonged exposure
of the energy when working in and around the cervical areas
of the tooth. Due to the thin layer of enamel in this area, the
laser’s energy may be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the
pulp and pulpal hyperemia may occur. Extended exposure to
laser energy could lead to pain and possible pulpal necrosis.
3.0.2 Laser Safety Program and Continuing Education
We recommend implementation of a Laser Safety Program
appropriate for your dental ofce. The plan may include the
following:
•
Delegation of authority and responsibility for supervision and
control of the laser to a designated LSO.
• Minimum Training requirements for users of the laser.
• Laser security against unauthorized use of the laser.
•
Standard operating procedures to regulate the work environment
in order to protect the patient and ofce staff from laser hazards.
The safe use of a laser is the responsibility of the (LSO) who can
be a full or part-time employee or the laser operator. It is their
responsibility to train the staff, maintain records concerning training
and the laser’s performance, perform safety checks, and prepares
the laser for use on a daily basis. The LSO must keep records of any
incidents that relate to the failure of the laser or any adverse effects
related to laser therapy and report such incidents as prescribed
by law. The laser safety ofcer assures that a medical follow-up
has been sought or has occurred following any adverse incident
during treatment. The LSO is responsible for the training of all ofce
personnel who are involved with the laser preparation and use.
Daily checks of the facility and equipment are also the LSO’s
responsibility. The LSO should test re the laser each day prior to
beginning each treatment procedure. For more information on
the contents of a Laser Safety Plan, you can review ANSI Standard
Z136.3 for Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care Facilities or TR IEC
60825-8 Guidelines for the Safe Use of Medical Laser Equipment.
The LSO should insure that the operator and staff attend laser
courses taught by qualied laser educators. Ongoing reviews of
laser safety procedures should be a part of normal ofce routine.
3.0.3 Food and Drug Administration
Manufacturers of products subject to performance standards
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Chapter
V, Subchapter C - Electronic Product Radiation Control are
required to certify compliance with the regulations and furnish
various reports to the Center for Devices and Radiological
Health (CDRH). For medical laser manufacturers, additional
review by the FDA of the safety and effectiveness of the device
is required. Companies who intend to market a medical laser
today must receive authorization from the FDA to permit the
device into commercial distribution. There are two forms of
premarket clearance procedures. The premarket notication
510(k) procedure is principally used for those devices that are
documented to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed
Class I and Class II devices. For new devices not equivalent to
legally marketed devices, a more complex
PMA is required.

8
3.0.4 OSHA and its Provisions
Worker safety is the responsibility of the employer and is regulated
by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), a
division of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA has issued no
specic standard for safe use of lasers but recognizes ANSI standard
Z136.1 as a source for analyzing safety with respect to medical
lasers. For more information see OSHA Technical Manual (TED
1-0.15A) Section III, Chapter 6, 1999. CAO Group, Inc. recommends
implementation of a Laser Safety Program for the safety of your
patients and ofce staff in connection with the use of the Precise®
LTM 5 Watt Soft Tissue Diode Laser.
3.0.5 Statutory Licensure
Usually, states or provinces do not have a specic licensure
requirement for use of a laser by a dentist. Most states require
hygientists to attend licensure training that includes both a
lecture and hands-on training. Prior to using the laser, the hygiene
applicants are required to pass a prociency test for certication.
These courses are usually taught by members of the Academy of
Laser Dentistry who possess instructor credentials. Check with your
state licensing board regarding the applicable requirements for
using lasers in dentistry.
3.0.6 Wireless Technology
In order to promote efcient use of the radio spectrum in various
global markets the United States Federal Communications
Commission (U.S. FCC) and other international government
agencies have developed technical standards for devices that
are capable of emitting radiofrequency energy when in use – such
as wireless data cards. These products need to receive certain
identication numbers in accordance with the Commission
Equipment Authorization rules prior to marketing in U.S. markets.
The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47 (47 CFR), Part 15 covers
the rules for the operation of unintentional, intentional or incidental
radiators. Any electrical or electronic devices incorporating a
digital circuitry and operating with an oscillator or clock speed of
greater than 9kHz requires approval to this rule. There are various
types of FCC Part 15 approvals, depending on the nature of
the product and its intended use. In Canada, IC-RSS 210 (Radio
Standards Specication) sets out the requirements for license
exempt low-power intentional radiators. This standard is very closely
harmonized in terms of permitted frequencies, types of operation,
and other technical requirements to the FCC requirements, but a
separate certication application is required for Canada. In the
European Community, compliance with several safety directives
and testing to EN 300 328, EN 60950 and EN 301 489 is required
for this type of device. The manufacturer is required to provide a
Declaration of Conformity as evidence of its compliance with the
various regulatory requirements.
3.0.7 Precise®LTM Wireless Frequency
The 2.4GHz frequency is very popular for networks and other
wireless devices that share similar technology like Bluethooth®
cell phones, Wi-Fi® devices, wireless networks, cordless phones,
CAD/CAM machines, wireless video senders, even microwave
ovens. The nature of spread-spectrum modulation in the 2.4 Ghz
frequency means that a multitude of devices can co-exist in
the same 2.4 GHz spectrum (as should be obvious, since many
devices use 2.4 GHz and operate well on a daily basis). Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi devices use multiple channels, recovering data reliably
out of noise in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. They will hop around strong
interference, and quickly re-try for uninterrupted operation -- and
can even avoid channels or areas of the band in use by other
devices by adaptive hopping. Since the Precise® LTM wireless
transmitters have a much lower power output, it is highly unlikely
that they would “interfere” with higher-power devices. Even if this
were possible, the higher-power devices would quickly switch
to another channel to achieve uninterrupted operation. The
Precise® LTM wireless receiver use an entirely different protocol,
and therefore cannot (receive) data from Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
devices. The converse is also true; their protocol methods are
incompatible. Precise® LTM diode laser wireless technology
is electronically coded. Each pedal and Precise® LTM diode
laser share a UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER INTERLOCK protocol for
reliable operation:
•
A Precise LTM pedal communicates with only one Precise®
LTM diode laser; there is 2-way electronic code which must
be veried for every transmission and acknowledge. The
pedal and laser unit are interlocked to only each other’s
electronic codes.
•
If data from another Precise® LTM pedal is ever received,
embedded verication measures ensure that it is always
ignored and discarded.
•
If data were ever received from another wireless device with
a compatible protocol scheme (2.4GHz frequency), it would
immediately be discarded in the same way.
In summary, the wireless transmitters in the Precise® LTM diode laser
have less than 2% of the output power of typical Bluetooth® or
Wi-Fi® devices, and therefore have no signicant potential as an
interference source. Precise LTM wireless receiver is incompatible
with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi devices and therefore cannot mistakenly
receive data from such devices. Through a unique internal
communication structure, and strict verication of all incoming
data, nothing activates an Precise LTM diode laser except the
wireless pedal which it is paired with via electronic code.
3.0.8 American National Standards Institute (ANSI) -
Safety Standards
ANSI is a non-governmental, non-prot agency that has established
guidelines and safety standards for the use of lasers and other
electro-optics. The provisions of ANSI Z 136.3 outlines standards for
lasers used in dentistry and the assessment of laser risks. ANSI also
establishes guidelines for safety eyewear and classies all lasers
based on their potential for damage to eyes or tissue. See page
14 for NOHD requirements.
3.1 STARTUP AND SYSTEM CHECK
3.1.1 Selecting the Treatment Center
The laser should be placed in an area with good ventilation and
lighting. The electrical service required is a 110 Volt A/C outlet - 60
Hz. The area where the laser is placed should be free of standing
water. Combustible gases or those that support combustion should
be turned off and all ammable materials or chemical stored in
the area should be removed.
3.1.2 Checking the Foot Pedal Installation
It is recommended to use a 9 Volt Lithium battery to power
the cordless foot pedal. This type of battery has been
tested to last for over 100 hours of foot pedal operation.
Note: A 9 Volt Alkaline battery may be used, however the

9
life expectancy of an Alkaline battery is less than 35 hours of
operating time.
3.1.3 Checking the Key Activation and Control Panel Display
Turn the Key Switch on the front of the laser to the “On” position by
turning it approximately 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise). The control
panel should light up and show the laser is in Standby Mode.
3.1.4 Checking the Laser Stop Button
Check the Laser Stop Switch to see that it has not been pressed.
If it has, release it by pressing it slightly. See page 6, section 2.2.5.
3.1.5 Checking the Disposable Fiber Cartridge
Before using the laser, check the ber cartridge to see that it is
rmly seated. Depress the extend/retract button on the control
panel to see that it is functioning properly. After checking the ber
cartridge power, extend some ber from the cartridge. You will
want to have approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of ber available to
strip the ber, cleave the ber, initiate the ber, and disinfect the
ber. When the ber is prepared, the handpiece and tip should be
attached. Once prepared place the handpiece into the holder
on the laser. The extend and retract button for ber cartridge
operation should not be depressed during laser operation. Examine
the ber tip to insure that you have not created a ber tip shard
during the cleaving process. The shard can act like a miniature
scalpel and cause damage while diffusing the light beam and
lowering the laser’s power.
3.1.6 Setting Modes
Review your power and mode requirements and then depress the
mode button to select either Continuous or Pulse mode. The mode
you have selected will be displayed on the LED screen and will
be designated by a (Continuous Mode) or (Pulse Mode).
3.1.7 Setting Power
Select your power by pressing the up or down arrow until you
have reached the desired wattage. Beginning with a low of
0.5 Watts, the power increases in increments of 100 mW up to a
maximum of 5.0 Watts (Continuous Mode). By holding the up or
down arrow, you can have an uninterrupted increase until you
reach your desired power.
3.1.8 Setting Aiming Beam
The aiming beam can be turned on and off by pressing the
aiming beam button on the laser control panel. Press this button to
progressively increase the aiming beam intensity from zero (0) (off)
to full intensity. Press the key once more to cycle back to zero (0).
Each bar represents approximately 20% of the aiming beam output.
Note: Adjusting the intensity of the aiming beam has no effect on
the output power of the working laser.
3.1.9 Programming your Precise® LTM
You are able to easily set four (4) different combinations of Power,
Mode and Aiming Beam Intensity. The initial Precise factory setting
is 1.4 W Power + Continuous Mode + 80% Aiming Beam Intensity.
To set your programs, push the Program key to display one of the
program numbers. Choose the desired Power level, the desired
Mode and the desired Aiming Beam Intensity. Press the READY
button – your settings have been saved. Repeat for each of the
four programs. You may change your settings as often as you like.
The settings saved into the four programs will be retained even if
the laser is turned off.
NOTE: Whenever your press the READY button, the settings
displayed on the unit will be saved into the unit’s memory for the
program setting shown.
3.2 OPERATING YOUR LASER
3.2.1 Before Beginning Procedures
Examine the ber tip to insure that you have not created a ber
tip shard during the cleaving process. The shard can act like a
miniature scalpel and cause damage while diffusing the light
beam and lowering the laser’s power. Depress the “Ready” button
and the aiming beam can light after 3 seconds. Review your power
and mode requirements and then depress the mode button to
select either or mode.
3.2.2 During Procedures
•
Test re the laser outside the mouth by activating the laser
into a 2 x 2 gauze sponge that has been moistented with
water to prevent combustion. Do not use ammable liquids
to wet the sponge.
•
Standby and Ready Status: The status of the laser will be in
Standby which is a non-active status. The laser will not emit
energy while in Standby, even if you depress the foot pedal.
On the top-center of the control panel you will see the “Ready”
button. See Figure 3.2. Press this button to place the unit into
the ready status. When this button is pressed whatever settings
are displayed on the unit will be saved into the unit’s memory
for the program setting shown. The settings saved into the
four programs will be retained even if the laser is turned off.
The laser will now be ready to emit energy as you depress
the foot pedal.
•
Depress the foot pedal and make short quick strokes at the
lowest power that you can to remove the target tissues while
lightly contacting it.
• Continuous Mode ( ): In setting up the laser while in the
mode, you will deliver the amount of energy in Joules in one
second equal to the value indicated in the working beam
setting, i.e., set the laser for 2 Watts and while activated the
laser will deliver 2 Joules per second as long as you have the
foot pedal depressed. The mode is generally the fastest way
to ablate tissues but heat can build up and cause collateral
damage to the target and adjacent tissues. Cool the tissues
being lased by using periodic blast of air from a triplex syringe
and high speed suction. You may use water to cool in areas
where there is prolonged exposure to the laser’s beam. Avoid
using the air syringe when you have an opening in soft tissue
adjacent to or within the surgery site. An air embolism may
occur as a result of air captured within the tissue during the
cooling process.
•
Pulse Mode( ): Pulsing the laser energy will allow some
cooling of the tissue inbetween emissions of energy. The
“duty cycle” is the percentage of the time in each second
that the laser is emitting energy. The pulses per second, the
duty cycle and, the energy intensity per pulse will determine
your average power. In the pulsed mode, the Precise LTM®
is programmed to deliver 10 pulses per second with each
Figure 23 - Fiber with a shard (a bad cleave)

10
pulse lasting for 0.05 seconds. The duty cycle is set for 50%
so you will have 1 energy pulse with 1 period of rest with no
energy between each pulse. If the laser is producing energy
at 1 pulse per second for 0.5 seconds per pulse, you will be
producing energy for a total of 0.5 seconds. The result will be
an average energy per second that will be 50% of what you
have set the laser for. Therefore, when using pulsed energy,
you will have to adjust your power upward in order to achieve
the same rate of work as the same power set in . Two Watts
of Pulsed energy will be the same average power output
as 1 Watt . Remove your foot from the foot pedal and use
a clean 2 x 2 gauze sponge moistened with water to remove
debris from the ber tip. Do not use ammable liquids to wet
the sponge. Place the laser in Standby mode by turning
“Ready” off until you are ready to start another procedure.
Tissue Responses to Laser Energy: Maximum results will be
achieved by regulating the power and the speed that the
operator moves the ber tip. Tissue charring is an undesirable
after effect of too much power or the tip moving too slowly.
Always use the least amount of power necessary to complete
your procedure. The ideal tissue response will show little or no
discoloration after lasing and there will be less residual damage
and faster healing. Avoid penetrating or damaging the
periosteum and do not use the laser on alveolar bone. Because
the laser energy is attracted to melanin and hemoglobin,
power must be reduced when treating patients with darker
soft tissue. Always begin lasing with the lowest power you can
use to remove or modify the target tissues. Avoid damage to
the gingival sulcus by moving the ber tip quickly and using
low power settings. Check to make sure you have a good
cleave of the ber so that no shard is present on the tip. A
shard may act as a miniature scalpel and damage the small
blood vessels, thus preventing hemostasis and coagulation.
3.2.3 After Each Procedure
•
Cleave used ber tip and discard in suitable biowaste disposal.
•
Wipe the outside of the ber using a disinfectant or sterilization
solution and then retract the ber by depressing the RETRACT
button on the control panel. Do not retract the distal end of
the ber into the cartridge.
•
Turn the key to the off position if you are not going to be
starting another procedure and remove key.
•
Record the Powers and Total Lasing Times used for each
procedure in the patient’s chart.
Example:
Patient Name Mary Jones
Procedure Gingivectomy #6 and #7
#6 Lasing time 90 seconds @ 2.0 Watts
air cooled
#7 Lasing time 60 seconds @ 1.5 Watts
air/water spray
SECTION 4: PREPARATIONS, CARE,
AND MAINTENANCE
The ber optic element of a laser is responsible for carrying the light
from the diode array to the tissue being treated. The dental laser
bers are usually made of quartz, sapphire, silica or a combination
of those elements. Quartz/silica is the most popular product used
in diode lasers. Be advised about the potential hazards when
inserting, steeply bending or improperly securing the ber optics to
the chassis. Laser radiation exposure may occur in these instances
which could be harmful to yourself, your staff, and your patient.
Special care should be taken not to break or snap the ber.
As the Aiming Beam passes down the same delivery system as the
Working Beam, it provides a good method of checking for integrity
of the delivery system. If the aiming beam spot is not present at
the distal end of the delivery system, its intensity is reduced or it
looks diffused, this is a possible indication of a damaged or an
inproperly working delivery system.
4.0 DISPOSABLE FIBER CARTRIDGE
The ber cartridge is a removable assembly with a plug-in
capability that provides power for the internal retraction device.
This cartridge is disposable after all ber has been used. This
cartridge is not autoclavable.
4.0.1 Replacing the Fiber Cartridge
A white mark on the ber indicates 6’ of ber remaining on the
cartridge. At this point, a new ber cartridge should be ordered.
When the cartridge is empty, it should be released from the laser
aperture and gently removed. Slowly slide the cartridge out to
the left using the dovetail as a guide. The ber cartridge can be
thrown away.
Note: Retain the ber end cap. DO NOT discard the end cap.
4.0.2 Fiber Preparation
Using the EXTEND button on the control panel, press the button
to extend (toward the front of the laser) the ber. Extend 3 - 4’ of
ber and feed it through the ber locking collar after you have
loosened the collar. The ber should extend about 1’ beyond the
distal end of the handpiece so that you can strip the ber and
place the disposable tip.
Do not continue to use the ber tip once you have observed that
the tip has a blackened appearance that is greater in length
than 2 - 4 mm from the previous cleave spot. The protein debris
of gingival tissue accumulates on the tip during surgery and
retains extreme heat that can cause rapid tip deterioration and
subsequent breakage. This is especially important when using the
laser for periodontal pocket debridement. During surgery, clean
the tip often using a 2 x 2 sponge moistened with water. Do not
use alcohol or other combustible liquids to moisten the 2 x 2 gauze
sponge and do not use the sponge while the tip is hot. Always use
a cold disinfectant solution like BIREX® or CIDEX® to wipe off the
ber jacket before retracting the ber. The ber can be advanced
or retracted by using the retract and extend buttons on the front
control panel.
The ber cartridge is a removable assembly with a plug-
in capability that provides power for the internal retraction
device. This cartridge is disposable after all ber has been used.
This cartridge is not autoclavable. The ber cartridge contains
approximately 20’ (6 meters +) and is wound onto a spool. The
ber itself has three components:
• Jacket
• Cladding
• 400 micron quartz/silica ber
4.0.3 Jacket
This is the protective cover for the ber system and usually is made
of a synthetic material that is clear or white in color. There can be

11
other colors used but there are no standardized color systems to
denote the diameter of the
ber or its use.
4.0.4 Cladding
This is the material on the outside of the quartz/silica ber that is
used to block the lateral escape of laser energy as it traverses the
ber. During stripping, you may “nick” the cladding and you will
likely see the red aiming beam light as it escape the site of the
damage. This is not a danger if all people in the area have the
appropriate safety eyewear.
4.0.5 Quartz/Silica Fiber
The ber is fairly exible but can be broken if bent into a small circle
or bent at an angle of 90 degrees. The cladding will burn as protein
from the gingiva accumulates on the ber and will deteriorate
the tip. It can fracture if not cleaved once the blackened area
has reached 3 - 4 mm. Stop lasing and wipe off the tip regularly
as you work to avoid accumulation of protein debris. Use water
on a 2 X 2 gauze sponge to clean the tip. Do not use ammable
materials like alcohol products when cleaning a hot tip. Dispose
of all small ber remnants after you have cleaved the ber. They
should be kept in a small box with a lid until they can be properly
disposed of in the “sharps” container.
4.0.6 Stripping the Fiber
The ber’s jacket is removed using a “stripper”. Once a ber tip
is initiated and begins retaining debris from the tissues during
lasing, you will get a deterioration of the ber tip. When you have
a blackened tip that extends 3 - 4 mm up the ber shaft, it is time
to cleave the ber and strip the jacket to prepare for the next
procedure. Begin by selecting enough jacket so that when it is
removed, you will have approximately ⅜” of bare ber exposed.
Place the ber in the stripper and grasp that portion of the ber that
will have the jacket removed between your thumb nail and index
nger. (See Figure 24). Grasp the ber with the stripper by applying
pressure to the handles. With a slow steady force, remove the
jacket by pulling the ber away from the stripper. (See Figure 25).
4.0.7 Cleaving the Fiber
As the tip deteriorates, it is more likely to fracture and could
fall into the sulcus or a deep periodontal pocket. To avoid this
problem, it is prudent to periodically “cleave” the discolored
tip. The cleave is made after stripping off the jacket to expose
approximately ¼” - ⅜” of bare ber. (See Figure 27). The cleave
should be made at a point approximately ½” (8 - 10 mm) from the
site of the previous cleave so that there is no visible discoloration
of the tip. The operator should place their index nger at the spot
of the proposed cleave so as to stabilize the ber. Using the pen
style cleaver, draw the cleave blade across the top of the ber
with enough pressure to ”score” the ber. (See Figure 30). With
the thumb and index nger of each hand holding the ber at a
spot approximately ½” on either side of the cleave mark, break
ber against cleave. (See Figure 31). After you have cleaved the
ber, point it perpendicular to a white piece of paper and place
the laser in READY mode. Hold the tip approximately ½” from the
paper and you should see a near perfect circle of red light. If you
have a large comet effect radiating from the circle, you have not
obtained a good cleave. (See Figure 29). If the circle has just a
small comet effect, it will probably work.
Always dispose of the ber tip remnants in the “Sharps”
container immediately after cleaving the ber.
4.0.8 Initiating the Fiber
The tip of the ber should be cleaved to provide a at surface that
can be prepared to retain heat by introducing it to a dark material
like ink, blood or water color paints. The easiest way to prepare
the tip is to lightly move the at surface of the tip across a piece
of articulating paper at about 1 Watt . The tip will retain the ink
and the ink will make the tip glow if you exceed 1 - 2 seconds while
in contact with the paper. Prolonged heating will accelerate the
deterioration of the tip (See Figure 32).
4.0.9 Fiber Disinfection
The ber and spool remain in the ber cartridge and are not
autoclavable. Once stripped, cleaved and initiated, the tip will
reach temperatures of several hundred degrees centigrade,
thus, as the laser emits energy, it will rid the tip of pathogens.

Additionally, the tip can transfer heat up the shaft of the ber to the
edge of the jacket which may melt slightly. After your procedure,
always cleave the blackened tip and strip the damaged jacket.
Wipe the jacket down using BIREX® CIDEX® or a comparable
product that can disinfect the jacket. Dry the jacket using a clean
2 x 2 sponge prior to retracting the ber into the ber cartridge.
Also see section 6.0 on page 15.
4.1 LASER MAINTENANCE
4.1.1 Laser Chassis Disinfection
The exterior of the laser should be cleaned using a liquid
disinfectant similar to BIREX® or CIDEX®. Do not spray the
disinfectant directly on the chassis. Apply with a gauze sponge
or wipe. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the system. Place
a barrier material similar to cellophane over the control panel and
LED screen prior to treating the next patient.
4.1.2 Calibration
The Precise® LTM Laser uses solid-state circuitry to continuously
monitor the power output and adjusts the power supplied to
the laser module to keep the output consistent with the user
dened setting. If output levels are more than ± 20% of the set
value, the unit is designed to shut down power to the laser, and
an audible alarm will sound. If this happens, the unit should be
turned off and allowed to sit for 5 minutes and turned on again.
If the laser then boots without beeping, the microprocessor has
been able to make operational adjustments and the unit will
perform its functions. If, upon restart, the unit continues to beep,
the unit will need to be sent in for adjustment by CAO Group,
Inc., Service Department. We suggest that your practice establish
an internal calibration program for your laser. Recalibration is
recommended at a minimum of once per year based on average
usage. Recalibration may be performed by the manufacturer by
returning the unit. Alternatively, you may purchase a calibrated
hand -held power meter approved for use with 810 nm devices to
check power output. The laser should be set at 1, 3, and 5 Watts
with output checked at each level. The output display should be
within 20% of the meter reading. If not, recleave the ber and
re-check. If the output display is still outside the 20% tolerance,
return the unit to the manufacturer for recalibration. There are
no methods available for the user to adjust the calibration of the
unit and the unit must not be adjusted by the user for any reason.
4.1.3 Handpiece Preparation
The Precise® LTM handpiece is designed for easy assembly and
then sterilization after each patient.
The handpiece has four (4) components:
a. Fiber locking cap (See Figure 33)
b. Plastic collet - located inside ber locking cap (See Figure 34)
c. Body (See Figure 35)
d. Disposable tip - discard after each patient; not
autoclavable (See Figure 36)
Assemble the handpiece with plastic collet, Fiber Locking Cap and
disposable tip in place; only lightly tighten the the Locking Cap
onto the handpiece body. Extend the ber about 3-4’ from the
Precise unit. Slide the end of the ber through the Fiber Locking
Cap, through the handpiece and out the disposable tip so that
about 2-3” of ber extends out of the handpiece. Firmly tighten
the Fiber Locking Cap so that the ber is held securely in place.
Now the ber can be prepared for lasing (Section 4.1.4).
The Precise® LTM uses an autoclavable stainless steel handpiece
that should be sterilized after every patient. Clean the handpiece
with warm soapy water; rinse thoroughly; disassemble; place in
an autoclavable bag, and then autoclave it accordingly.
Note: Do not re working laser if handpiece is not properly attached
to ber.
4.1.4 Preparation for Lasing
Using your stripper, remove approximately 1/4” - 3/8” of jacket
from the distal end of the ber. Cleave the ber and examine the
results by turning the laser to the Ready status. The aiming beam
should create a near perfect circle when directed onto a white
surface from about 1/4” - 3/8” above the paper. (See Figures 27
through 32). Once cleaved, the ber tip should be disinfected
(See Section 4.0.9).
4.1.5 Disposable Tips
The disposable tips can be shaped to provide the clinician two (2)
degrees of access required, straight and 60° curved.
Note: Disposable tips are single use, not autoclaveable.

SECTION 10: GLOSSARY OF LASER
TERMINOLOGY
Activate - The action that prepares the laser to emit energy.
Active Medium - The core material of a laser that is responsible for
producing a source of electromagnetic energy when activated
by a power supply. They can be a gas, liquid dye, semi-conductor
chip or a man-made rod of Yttrium, Aluminum Garnet Scandium
or Gallium, or some combination of those elements.
Amplitude - The height of an electromagnetic wave as measured
from the top of one wave to the lowest point on the next wave.
Articulating Arm - A device used to deliver radiant energy
Biopsy - A tissue sample removed from an area of questionable
health. Used for examination and diagnosis of a disease.
Cleave - An act of scoring an optical ber so that it separates
into two pieces.
Coherent - A property of electromagnetic waves in which every
wave is of the same wave length and is in phase with the other
identical waves.
Collagen - The brous protein that is prevalent in bone, endons,
cartilage, and connective tissue.
Collimated - A characteristic of laser wave lengths where they
travel in a parallel bundle and are slow to deviate.
Continuous Wave - A temporal mode where radiant laser energy
is emitted constantly without interruption. Also known as ( ).
Electromagnetic Components of Energy - Radiation consisting
of electromagnetic waves where the vertical of the wave is the
electrical phase and the lateral component is a magnetic phase.
Laser light is electromagnetic energy.
Electromagnetic Waves - Time varying electric and magnetic
elds propagating through space. They vary in their wave lengths
and frequency.
Electromagnetic Spectrum - A combination of all electromagnetic
radiation arranged by wave length and frequency. Light as we
know it is from the visible portion of the spectrum.
Exposure - Introducing a tissue to laser energy as measured by the
intensity of the power, the frequency, and time.
Frequency - The number of complete oscillations per second of
an electromagnetic wave.
Joule - A unit of energy. Expressed as milliJoules when used in
dental lasers operating in the pulsed mode. 1000 milliJoules per
second equal 1 Watt.
Laser - An acronym for Light Amplication by Stimulated Emission
of Radiation. Lasers are devices that utilize standard electricity
from a wall outlet to stimulate an active medium which will
produce electromagnetic energy that is collimated, coherent,
and monochromatic.
LSO - Laser Safety Ofcer - individual in charge of laser safety,
training, and equipment operation.
Micron - One millionth of a meter. It can also be stated as
10
-6 meter.
Mode - A stable condition of oscillation in a laser. Lasers can
operate is one or more modes.
Molecule - The smallest particle of a substance that retains the
property of that substance. It is composed of one or more atoms.
Nanometer - A billionth of a meter and can also be expressed
as 10 -9. Nanometers and microns are the primary measures of a
wave length used in dental lasers.
Photon - A quantum (unit) of radiant energy. A particle of light.
Power (Output Power) - Expressed as Watts where 1 Joule per
second equals 1 Watt.
Power Density - A measure of exposure of the power in Watts
delivered per square millimeter or square centimeter.
Pulsed - ( ) A temporal emission of laser energy that is distributed
among periods where the laser is actively emitting (on) and periods
of no emission (off). The time period when the laser is not emitting
energy (off) is referred to as period of thermal relaxation and is
designed to allow the tissue to cool between bursts of energy.
Quantum - The smallest unit of measure for radiant (light) energy.
Radiant Energy - The vertical component of electromagnetic
waves as they travel through space. It is measured in Joules or
milliJoules.
Spontaneous Emission - As an electron accumulates incident
energy, it is elevated to a higher energy orbit where it will become
unstable and must emit a photon.
Stimulated Emission - An external source of energy from a power
supply stimulates the unstable electron to return to a more stable
energy level by emitting an additional photon.
Velocity - The rate of speed of an electromagnetic wave as it
travels through space.
Watt - The measure of power is Watts. As used in lasers, 1 Joule per
second is equal to 1 Watt.
