From achieving precise incisions to managing postoperative pain, soft tissue dental procedures require reliable solutions at every turn. One of the latest innovations the world of dual-wavelength soft tissue diode lasers, Ultradent’s Gemini EVO single-handedly addresses the many challenges of surgical and non-surgical treatment, affording greater convenience, comfort, and safety in every procedure. Here are 4 reasons why this versatile technology marks a major step forward in laser dentistry:

 

1. More Power & Precision

Maxing out at 100 watts of peak super-pulsed power, the Gemini EVO is 5 times more powerful than its predecessor, the Gemini 810 + 980. This boost translates to superior cutting efficiency with cleaner incisions and less heat generation. Users can choose between 810 nm and 980 nm wavelengths, or combine the 2 modes for optimal control over tissue coagulation and ablation. With this increased power, dental professionals can penetrate deeper during hygiene and photobiomodulation (PBM) procedures.

Like all diode lasers, the Gemini EVO minimizes patient discomfort during treatment while promoting faster healing. However, the inclusion of super-pulsed technology ensures a longer thermal relaxation period for target tissue, significantly reducing the risk of incidental damage.

 

2. Prescription-Free Pain Management

 

The Gemini EVO doesn’t just make treatment more comfortable for patients—it turns many soft tissue procedures into a virtually pain-free experience. Applications include painless periodontal therapy, bacterial reduction, biopsies, frenectomies, as well as troughing for crown and bridge preparations. The laser also shines in PBM procedures, where it reduces the need to prescribe narcotics for postop pain management. Thanks to the inclusion of 3 PBM adapter sizes, practitioners can count on the Gemini EVO to provide patients with fast, effective relief for intraoral and extraoral indications ranging from localized ulcers and small spots around the lips to larger areas surrounding the TMJ.

 

3. Smart Design Backed By Training

 

Though the Gemini EVO sports sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology, it’s specifically engineered for easy, everyday use. The system incorporates a host of smart features, from a streamlined, portable design to haptic feedback in both the foot pedal and handpiece, and an illuminated tip for enhanced visibility. The Gemini EVO also offers Wi-Fi connectivity, a user-friendly touch interface with 16 procedure presets, and a digital dashboard for tracking ROI, usage statistics, and other important metrics.

 

Better still, with Ultradent’s complementary educational resources, users can learn laser procedures step by step, either online or in-person, empowering them to quickly build their clinical skillsets and confidence. After purchasing a Gemini EVO laser, an all-new online laser dentistry training program led by the top laser educators in the dental industry provides clinicians with 5 CE credits and in-depth education from clinical experts.

4. Easy-to-Use Eye Protection

 

User safety is paramount during laser procedures, which is why Ultradent recently added Ease-In-Shields to the Gemini ecosystem. Developed by dentists at ViewMax Solutions, LLC, these protective inserts are available in several options designed for use with the Gemini EVO's different wavelengths, each with a double-patented shape that fits most loupes and eyewear.

 

As certified by Laservision USA's Safety Laboratories, Ease-In-Shields’ lightweight polycarbonate construction provides complete, comfortable protection without fogging—benefits that eliminate the hassle of cleaning and adjusting eyewear mid-procedure. In all, Ease-In-Shields offer a practical solution that saves valuable chair time while supporting safer, less stressful laser workflows.
