Abstract
A handpiece for stomatological application of laser light includes a movable light and agent transmission system connected to a proximal side of the handpiece and an application element containing a work tip connected to a distal side of the handpiece. Advantageously, the laser beam in the application element is directed onto an exit location that proceeds essentially transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the application element, and is focused such that the focus of the laser light lies immediately in front of a light exit window.
