Question: Why are DEKA’s CO2 lasers more expensive than the diodes used by many dentists?

Answer: Diodes are inexpensive, entry-level lasers that have introduced many dentists to the advantages of laser-assisted dentistry. As the largest producer of lasers in the world, DEKA’s parent company, El.En., we embrace diodes and we manufacture them for other dental companies to distribute. While we manufacture and make available all of the wavelengths used in dentistry, we strongly believe the wavelength of choice for soft tissue in dentistry is CO2. The reason is that the CO2 wavelength is far superior due to its high absorption in water. Water makes up over 80-90% of the content of soft tissue, and it is this high absorption in the target tissue that make CO2 the optimal wavelength for soft tissue procedures. The UltraSpeed CO2 technology, that is proprietary to DEKA, is what allows our CO2 laser the ability to incise or ablate soft tissue with precision and efficiency while limiting lateral thermal damage. The technology involved in building a CO2 laser is much more advanced than diode lasers, making them more expensive to manufacture. The DEKA UltraSpeed CO2 laser has the greatest number of applications it can perform, and therefore can generate a greater ROI for the clinician.
