Diode Laser - Oral Magic Marker

In developing my novel Reversible Trial Lip Repositioning procedure, it was apparent that I needed a way to mark the surgical site that was reproducible.  The common method of marking oral tissue is with an indelible marker, but the marks are large, they run quickly, and they don't last long.  The predictability of Lip Repositioning rests on being able to capture the surgical site with precision and to reproduce that captured area for  up to a two day period.

My solution was to incorporate a diode laser used on a low setting to mark a "dotted line" on the oral tissues.  These marks are very superficial, and they dissolve within a couple of days without any discomfort or long-lasting evidence.

The diode laser has many practical applications for temporarily marking proposed surgical locations in the mouth.  Again, necessity is the mother of invention!
