Picasso vs. EZLASE™:
Hands down Picasso is the clear winner. Better construction, looks, packaging and performance, Picasso is priced sensibly at $4,995. With a bleaching tip INCLUDED, Picasso is half of the price of Biolase's EZLASE™. Both units have 7 watts of power and portability, but with Picasso's 810 nm wavelength, it cuts cleanly with less char than a 940 nm. Picasso is backed by AMD LASERS' unprecedented customer support. We encourage you to call us, and then call Biolase® and compare customer service. AMD LASERS™ wins every time. Unlike Biolase®, AMD LASERS™ has a rock solid management team, sales support and the clinical, marketing and sales support you are looking for. Picasso is available in almost 60 countries and is the ONLY laser in the world that offers you a choice of economical strippable fiber or convenient disposable tips. EZLASE™ tips are nearly double the price of our tips. Why not get two Picassos for the price of one EZLASE™? Dental laser in every operatory - Picasso - The Number 1 selling and award-winning laser in the world.

Picasso vs. ILASE™ or NV Micro laser™:
Picasso is designed to look like a real laser instead of some hand-held laser pointer toy your kids will play with. Picasso looks and performs like a real dental laser should. With 7 watts of power, it is capable of high fluency techniques and has the power to get you quickly through any procedure. The ILASE™ only has 5 watts of peak power. The NV micro laser only has 2 watts of power. Thinking of doing laser bleaching with the new laser bleach gels now available? Picasso is the only choice for you. Neither the ILASE™ or the NV are cable of laser bleaching. Picasso is priced the same as both other units but is packaged much better. Picasso can be easily moved from operatory to operatory by the built-in integrated handle. Picasso does it all. Picasso is available in almost 60 countries and is the ONLY laser in the world that offers you a choice of economical strippable fiber or convenient disposable tips. ILASE™ tips are almost double the price of our tips. A laser in every operatory - Picasso - The Number 1 selling and award winning laser in the world.

Picasso Lite vs. EVERY OTHER LASER:
Picasso Lite has turned the laser world upside down! The game changer! The laser that made laser dentistry affordable for everyone. The easiest laser in the world to operate that has three customizable presets with 2.5 watts of power and a super comfort pulse setting. Picasso Lite is priced at $2,495 and allows you to place a laser in every operatory. Other lasers are nearly double to almost 10 times in price. Why carry one laser from op to op? You don't share your handpieces. We know if something is readily accessible, then you will use it. While you are performing laser troughing in the op, let your hygienists perform laser perio or treat canker sores with another Picasso Lite. Picasso Lite is the easy choice for your practice and is available in almost 60 countries. It is the ONLY laser in the world that offers you a choice of economical strippable fiber or convenient disposable tips. Picasso Lite - The #1 laser in the world!

In First Impressions George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience.

Just when you thought that lasers could not get more affordable, AMD Lasers has announced the Picasso Lite soft-tissue dental laser. Specifically developed for soft-tissue treatment procedures, the Picasso Lite replaces other modalities of soft-tissue treatment effectively and economically. While it has a maximum power of 2.5 W (less than the 7 W of its precursor, the Picasso), it provides all of the power that is needed for most routine procedures. Most gingivoplasty, troughing an d coagulation soft-tissue procedures can be accomplished in the 1-W power range. Surgical procedures for excising soft tissues typically require power in the 2.5-W range. The Picasso Lite cuts, excises, shapes, and coagulates soft tissues with greatly reduced trauma, irritation, and necrosis of surface layers. It is indicated for gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, frenectomy, exposing implants and unerupted teeth, and treating aphthous ulcers and herpetic lesions, among others. It features a very compact, lightweight design and is provided with a setup DVD, online laser certification, accessories (safety goggles, a foot control, handpiece), an international power adapter, and the option of disposable tips or a low-cost strippable optic fiber. (While disposable tips are more convenient, the strippable fiber greatly reduces the per-procedure cost.) The Picasso Lite allows the practitioner to affordably provide a laser in every operatory, including the hygiene rooms, where permitted by regulatory bodies. Laser-assisted periodontal treatment is an exciting new treatment paradigm. The advantages to patients include less discomfort during and after procedures, rapid healing, and the availability of in-office surgical procedures avoiding trips to a specialist for selected treatments. Ultra-affordable and ultra-sleek, the Picasso Lite simplifies clinical dentistry for every dentist and hygienist.
