Laser Welding Technology For Partial Denture Repairs

With the advancement of new laser technology, the expansion of laser welding applications in all areas of the laboratory has become a real asset. In particular, the use of laser welding has greatly enhanced our ability to easily make removable partial denture repairs that are of a higher quality than those accomplished with conventional techniques. There's no need to invest, reapply acrylic or solder; it saves us time and our clients have come to rely on the consistent quality achieved with this technology.

In the past, laser welding had fewer applications because technicians had limited control of the laser beam. In earlier models, we could only adjust the voltage and duration of the pulse length, which allowed us to control the diameter and depth of the weld. Problems such as warpage of the framework occurred.

However, the latest models offer more control over the focal point of the laser beam. This results in a higher density and better quality...
