Convergent Dental’s Solea All-Tissue Laser is designed to streamline digital restorative dentistry by helping dentists manage soft and hard tissue within the same workflow. Operating at a 9.3-micron CO₂ wavelength, the system can be used on enamel, dentin, bone and gingiva while also supporting soft-tissue hemostasis.
In same-day restorative procedures, Solea can be used for tissue troughing immediately before scanning, helping expose preparation margins and control bleeding without relying on additional retraction steps. One documented full-mouth rehabilitation used the laser to manage irritated tissue, remove tissue obstacles and prepare the mouth for immediate scanning, chairside milling and placement of permanent crowns within a single sedation visit.
By addressing tissue management alongside digital scanning and milling, systems like Solea can help practices reduce workflow interruptions, temporary restorations and return appointments.

What's Driving This Trend
- All-tissue Dental Lasers
- Multi-surface laser systems are reshaping restorative workflows by combining hard-tissue preparation, soft-tissue management and hemostasis in a single chairside platform.
- Same-day Restorative Dentistry
- Integrated scanning, milling and tissue-control technologies are expanding the feasibility of permanent restorations completed within one appointment.
- Sedation-based Full-mouth Rehabilitation
- Comprehensive dental treatments performed during a single sedation visit create openings for more efficient care models that reduce repeat appointments and provisional restorations.
Who This Affects Most
- Dental Technology
- Advanced laser platforms are creating new product categories that bridge clinical treatment, digital impressions and chairside manufacturing.
- Restorative Dentistry
- Workflow-integrated tissue management tools are improving predictability for crown, bridge and full-mouth rehabilitation procedures.
- Medical Lasers
- Precision wavelength engineering is broadening the use of laser systems across both mineralized and soft biological tissues in clinical settings.
