4.3.10 Emergency Shutdown Options
Any of these mechanisms can be used to shut down the emission of laser energy in a real or perceived emergency:
1. Depress and release the emergency shutdown button
2. Foot Pedal – remove your foot to stop lasing
3. Switch the Power/Fan to the off position (O)
4. Power Cord – unplug from the wall outlet
4.3.11 Hard Tissue Procedures
The Odyssey Navigator diode is not an appropriate laser for hard tissue procedures. The diode laser is attracted to
melanin, hemoglobin and, to some extent, water and oxygenated hemoglobin. Avoid prolonged exposure of the
energy when working in and around the cervical areas of the tooth. Due to the thin layer of enamel in this area, the
laser’s energy may be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the pulp and pulpal hyperemia may occur. Extended exposure
to laser energy could lead to pain and possible pulpal necrosis.
