PROCEDURAL RECOMMENDATIONS
All clinical procedures performed with the Gemini EVO 810+980 soft tissue laser must be subjected to the same clinical judgment and care as with traditional techniques and instruments. Patient risk must
always be considered and fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely understand the patient's medical history prior to treatment.

• Excisional and incisional biopsies
• Exposure of unerupted teeth
• Fibroma removal
• Gingivoplasty
• Hemostasis and coagulation
• Incision and drainage of abscess
• Operculectomy
• Pulpotomy
• Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
• Soft tissue crown lengthening
• Vestibuloplasty
• Laser Soft Tissue Curettage
• Tissue retraction
• Frenectomy and Frenotomy
• Gingival troughing for crown impressions
• Gingivectomy
FACILITY & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
GUIDELINES
In addition to receiving proper training in the use of soft-tissue dental lasers, users should be familiar and experienced with these procedures using electrosurgical devices or traditional instruments before
performing them on patients with the Gemini EVO 810+980 soft tissue laser. Non-experienced users should seek appropriate training guidance before attempting clinical treatments with the Laser system.
In order to insure the safe use of the Gemini EVO 810+980 soft tissue laser in your facility, please check to make sure that the proposed location is compatible with the specifications listed below.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
External AC/DC Power Supply - Use only the provided Gemini EVO laser power supply. Every Gemini EVO laser power supply shows the corresponding label below. DO NOT use any other power supply.
(Figure: 18.1)
Input Power: 100-240V; 50-60Hz, 1.5A
Output Power: 18V, 65W
HEATING AND VENTILATION
Operating environmental conditions to be within 10° - 40°C (50° - 104°F), and 95% relative humidity or less. Transportation and storage environmental conditions to be within 0° - 40°C (32° - 104°F), and
relative humidity of 95% or less. Atmospheric pressure to be within 70kPa – 106kPa in operating, transportation and storage conditions.
COMBUSTIBLE CHEMICALS AND GASES
All gases that are combustible or support combustion and are used in the operatory area where the Gemini EVO 810+980 soft tissue laser is being operated must be turned off during the procedure. Cleaning
supplies or other flammable chemical compounds should be stored in an area away from the surgical site in order to avoid possible combustion. Do not use in the presence of supplemental therapeutic
oxygen supplies for patients with respiratory or related diseases.
PLUME EVACUATION
Plume evacuation should be addressed when vaporizing tissues. A high volume vacuum system should be used and 0.1 micron or less high filtration masks that are suitable for virus and bacterial control
should be worn by clinicians.
OPERATORY ACCESS DURING LASER USE
Access to the treatment area should be restricted while the lasers are in use. A sign indicating "LASER IN USE" should be placed in a designated area adjacent to the treatment area entry location.
CAUTION: Laser fume and/or plume may contain viable tissue particulates

GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

GUIDELINES
Safe use of the Gemini EVO 810+980 soft tissue laser is the responsibility of the entire dental team including the doctor, any system operators, and the dental office safety officer. In order to properly assess
the favorable conditions of treatment, below is a pre-treatment checklist to help ensure treatment to your patient is safe:
• Ask the patient about allergy to local or topical anesthetics.
• Make sure the Laser Warning sign posted in the operating area.
• Make sure the patient and operator(s) are all wearing laser protective eyewear specific to Gemini EVO laser.
• Have the patient fill out an informed consent form for laser treatment. Form templates are typically available from your laser training provider.
• Gingival incision and excision
• Implant recovery
• Leukoplakia
• Oral papillectomnies
• Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy
• Reduction of bacterial level (decontamination) and
inflammation
• Treatment of aphthous ulcers
• Lesion (tumor) removal
• Treatment of canker sores and herpetic and aphthous ulcers of
the oral mucosa
• Removal of Diseased, Infected, Inflamed and necrotic soft
tissue within the periodontal pocket
• Removal of highly inflamed edematous tissue affected by
bacteria penetration of the pocket lining and junctional
epithelium
• Sulcular debridement (removal of necrotic, diseased, or
inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve
clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding
index, probe depth, attachment loss, and tooth mobility)
• Pain therapy. Topical heating for the purpose of elevating
tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and
joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm,
minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain, the
temporary increase in local blood circulation; the temporary
relaxation of muscle.
All procedures listed in this manual are safe if performed by
a licensed, trained professional. The potential side effects
to the patient can include swelling, inflammation, redness
of the skin, scarring, tissue pigment changes, and infection
after treatment. All of these conditions can be reduced
by cautiously following the appropriate aftercare or post-
operative care instructions.
