Abcess Excision with the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser

Tip: Initiated

Mode: Continuous Wave

Power: 1.0 W

Anesthesia: Topical or Local, as required

Technique: Contact

1. Determine the status of the lesion, chronic or acute, and

select a site to enter the parulis of the infection.

2. Based on the lesion status, enter the lesion by placing the

ﬁ ber tip at the most coronal spot on the parulis and with short

strokes, make an incision to establish a drainage path.

3. Using high volume suction, irrigate the area with saline

solution as the exudate appears.

4. Insert the tip into the incision site without emitting energy and

lightly probe the area inside the parulis as you advance the

tip apically.

5. Once you have established the base of the parulis, back the

ﬁ ber optic (therapy) tip out approximately 2 mm and activate

the Sapphire Portable Laser as you slowly withdraw the tip.

6. Remove the tip brieﬂ y and allow any exudate to drain.

7. After draining has slowed, re-enter the parulis and insert the

Fiber Optic Tip just short of the base and then withdraw

the Tip as the laser is activated.

8. Repeat the process until you have established a clear path for

completing the remaining drainage.

9. Administer oral antibiotics as needed and give the patient

instructions on using warm saline to cleanse and irrigate

the oral environment.

10. If you are not able to complete the drainage procedure

without pain, review basic protocols before administering a

local anesthetic into the infected area.
