Dentaurum has been developing and researching laser technology for 30 years.
Dentaurum was not only the first company worldwide to introduce laser technology into dental technology on a large scale, but also established a market-leading position through an extremely sophisticated range of devices, superior service, and extensive consulting expertise. In 2025, another IDS year, the medical device manufacturer impresses with an impressive 30 years of experience in the laser field.
The laser has developed into an unbeatably useful means of bonding technology for both dental technology and orthodontics. It enables the creation of completely biocompatible connections without the need for solder. The cost-effectiveness results from the enormous time savings.
A successful market entry
Dentaurum successfully entered the laser technology market 30 years ago with a collaboration with Baasel Lasertechnik GmbH (now part of Coherent Corp.), which specialized in laser marking, welding, cutting, and structuring.
The advantage of dental laser technology, in contrast to the previously predominantly used soldering technology, lay in the fusion of similar materials. While soldering always requires a less noble alloy as the solder, dental welding joins similar metals and alloys. The result is stronger bonds with increased corrosion resistance. This is a decisive advantage, especially for pure titanium, but also for all other dental alloys.
The first laser, which Dentaurum marketed in cooperation with Baasel Lasertechnik under the name DL 2000, was presented to interested professionals at the dentechnica trade fair in Nuremberg in 1993. The ease of use, the relaxed seating position and a well-thought-out, elegant design were additional factors that helped the DL 2000 to enter the market successfully.
Continuous developments for high customer satisfaction
The successor models DL 2002, DL 2002 SF / SFS Desktop, and DL 3000 also enjoyed great popularity. The first generation of the desktop Compact Laser was launched in 2004. This laser, with its compact size yet powerful performance, was already an important part of Dentaurum's product portfolio at the time and remains so today.
The tabletop device, which covers all areas of dental technology and orthodontic applications, from the finest welds to secure joining, recently received a technical update. Fine power control significantly simplifies work. The compact dimensions were previously unattainable for lasers of this power range. The laser's ergonomic design (large working chamber with tilting laser axis) facilitates fatigue-free work and guarantees simple operation and clarity with a touchscreen.
The device features high power reserves, a high-quality microscope with a good field of view, integrated extraction, and a cooling air nozzle. The integrated pulse shaping system includes four preset pulse shapes. The wide range of pulse parameters can be easily controlled via joysticks. Two shielding gas nozzles are also integrated: one flexible and one tiltable, fixed.
The SL10 Laser Welder from Siro Lasertec complements the current laser portfolio with another product at an attractive entry-level price. The welding performance of the SL10 Laser Welder is optimized for dental use and is particularly suitable for orthodontics. This makes the device ideal for smaller dental laboratories and orthodontic practices. A color camera transmits the welding process directly to the display.
Users can be excited about the future of laser technology and look forward to further milestones in the coming years.
