Latest Patents

Among his latest patents, Kerbage has developed a laser system for enhancing remineralization and strength of hard tissue. This laser-based system and method improve the remineralization and fluoride uptake of hard tissues, thereby increasing their resistance to demineralization. The system includes a laser source, an optic, and a controller that manages the delivery of radiation to the treatment area. Notably, it features a handpiece with an optical element that modulates the laser beam to ensure it is non-ablative, thus protecting the tissue surface during treatment. Additionally, this system can be combined with fluoride treatments for enhanced therapeutic effects.

Another significant patent involves a system and method for laser-based treatment of soft tissue, particularly for addressing snoring conditions. This invention includes a laser source, a handpiece, and a device that directs the emitted radiation to the treatment area. The handpiece also contains an optical element that modulates the laser beam to be non-ablative before it reaches the treatment region. The use
