How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter average pocket depth (mm) from your full-mouth probing chart.
  2. Select tissue biotype (1 = thin/scalloped, 2 = moderate, 3 = thick/flat).
  3. Input the number of quadrants to be treated.
  4. Select laser type — 1 = Diode (810–980 nm), 2 = Nd:YAG (1064 nm), 3 = Er:YAG (2940 nm).
  5. Review recommended laser settings, estimated treatment time, and expected pocket reduction.

What each input means

Pocket depth (mm)
Average probing pocket depth.
Tissue biotype (1-3)
1 = thin/scalloped, 2 = moderate, 3 = thick/flat.
Quadrants to treat
Number of quadrants requiring laser treatment.
Laser type (1-3)
1 = Diode (810-980nm), 2 = Nd:YAG (1064nm), 3 = Er:YAG (2940nm).

What each result means

Power setting (W)
Recommended laser power in Watts.
Pulse rate (Hz)
Recommended pulse frequency.
Fiber diameter (um)
Recommended fiber tip diameter in micrometers.
Total treatment time (min)
Estimated total treatment duration.
Expected PD reduction (mm)
Anticipated pocket depth reduction.
Est. total cost ($)
Estimated total treatment cost.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Pocket depth (mm) = 5, Tissue biotype (1-3) = 2, Quadrants to treat = 2, Laser type (1-3) = 2 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Power setting
    Power setting
    2 = 2
  3. Calculate Pulse rate
    Pulse rate
    15 = 15
  4. Calculate Fiber diameter
    Fiber diameter
    300 = 300
