Turn your AMD Picasso into a practical PBM tool with the TheraLite 20 mm tip, a cost-effective, add-on accessory purpose-built for low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and photobiomodulation (PBM). Designed for external use only, it allows you to offer a new layer of treatment using the laser you already own—no handpiece change, no new equipment, no hassle.
What is PBM/LLLT?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called photobiomodulation (PBM), is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity light to stimulate healing in soft tissues. It works by delivering light energy to cells, helping reduce inflammation, ease pain, and encourage tissue repair—without heat, needles, or medication. In dentistry, PBM is often used to manage TMJ discomfort, muscle tension, post-operative swelling, and other soft tissue conditions. It’s a practical, drug-free option for supporting recovery and providing relief in a wide range of everyday clinical situations.
What is TheraLite?
TheraLite is a disposable laser tip that fits directly onto your AMD Picasso Lite or Picasso Plus handpiece. It delivers a wide, uniform 20 mm spot size (approximately 3.14 cm²) for efficient PBM and LLLT applications.
Used with Comfort Mode (0.8 W pulsed, 20 ms on / 50 ms off), the TheraLite tip achieves:
Average power output: 229 mW
Energy density: 4.36 J/cm²
Treatment time: 60 seconds
This protocol offers reliable coverage across the entire spot, with no need for movement or overlap. Most patients may experience a gentle warming sensation—noticeable, but never uncomfortable or hot.
The TheraLite Comfort Tip works by seamlessly integrating with your existing AMD Picasso laser. You simply attach it to the trunk fibre, just like any other standard treatment tip, and then select the pre-set Comfort Mode parameters (0.8 W pulsed, 20 ms on / 50 ms off) on the touchscreen. Once activated, the wide 20 mm tip evenly delivers low-level laser energy over the target area, providing consistent PBM output without the need to move or sweep the handpiece. This simple plug-and-play approach means there’s no extra equipment, calibration, or complex setup—just connect, set, and treat.
Offer a new layer of treatment using the laser you already own—no handpiece change, no new equipment, no hassle.
Why Add PBM to Your Workflow?
PBM and LLLT have been used for decades to:
Support tissue healing
Reduce inflammation
Relieve muscle or joint pain
Ease TMJ discomfort
Calm facial and neck tension
Assist in post-op recovery
While outcomes can vary, these treatments are low-risk, drug-free, and non-invasive—ideal for patients seeking adjunct therapies with minimal side effects. For many clinicians, the TheraLite tip opens the door to simple, repeatable PBM services using the laser they already have.
