Foreward by Jon C. Garito, PhD; CEO, LifeSciences Technology
During the past 35 years I have patented and introduced numerous innovative surgical products that have become important necessities in clinics, hospitals, and private practices within the veterinary, dental, and medical professions. I consider my most significant contribution to be the introduction of the 4 megahertz Radiowave Radiosurgery device and its range of radiofrequency (RF) accessories...

Preface by Jeffrey A Sherman, DDS, FICD, FACD
Radiowave Radiosurgery is one of the most important and versatile instruments in the field of surgery today. Its numerous usages range from performing surgical incisions to establishing hemostasis. Radiowave radiosurgery offers the advantages of a safe, fast, and efficient incision with a better field of visibility. The pressureless cut of radiosurgery, offers minimal bleeding which often requires no suturing...

FEATURE ARTICLE: Veterinary Oral Radiowave Radiosurgery (RWRS)
 Oral Radiowave Radiosurgery (RWRS) in the New Millennium evolved from electrocautery instruments developed in the veterinary field over forty years ago. Radiosurgery today uses high frequency radio signals to perform fine atraumatic characteristic incisions in the oral cavity. The main advantage over other cutting modalities centers around a pressureless cut with minimal bleeding that is safe, fast, and efficient. Radiosurgery permits planing of soft tissue, eliminates scar tissue formation, and minimizes post-operative discomfort. The electrodes are self-sterilizing. Radiosurgery prevents seeding of bacteria into the incision site...

Feline Stomatis Radiowave Radiosurgery: Part I
 Feline Stomatitis has been investigated by veterinary dentists for over twenty years. The etiology of this very painful pathology has yet to be determined. It has been, universally, recognized as one of the most painful oral conditions in the feline. The classic treatment for it in general practice has revolved around the usage of corticosteroids and antibiotics to suppress the immune response and treat soft tissue infection. The treatment by surgeons and dentists, for the last 15 years, after the completion of histopathology diagnostics, has been whole mouth extraction or extraction of all teeth distal to the canine teeth. Only 50-60% of the felines with this type of extraction surgery reach full recovery. Depending on the author, 4-5 patients out of each 10 felines treated with whole mouth extraction revert to some degree of the oral inflammatory state within 6-18 months post-surgery. As a treatment alternative, Feline Stomatitis Radiowave Radiosurgery has been developed at The Silver Sands Primary and Urgent Care Center's Department of Oral Surgery. It completely and permanently reverses the oral inflammation and pain evidenced in feline stomatitis patients...

 Indirect Radiowave Radiosurgery Coagulation
For hemostasis of soft tissue, the Partially Rectified Radiowave Radiosurgery waveform is chosen. It must be remembered that this waveform produces increased lateral heat and tissue shrinkage. It should not be used for coagulation in close proximity to bone or when performing osseous surgery. The Ball Shaped, #135, or Pencil Point, #117, electrode tips, [Ellman International], are commonly chosen for this procedure.
Indirect RWRS Coagulation allows the surgeon to avoid all negative consequences when working in a pool of blood with the radiosurgery signal...

 Oral Radiosurgery: CSI
As veterinary oral surgeons we face "CSI" situations within the oral cavity each and every day of our clinical lives. There is no subjective pain and not always a direct pathway to the pain site. We must use all of our senses, diagnostic tools, and history data from the client-advocate to make a diagnosis and treatment decision...

Radiowave Radiosurgery and Bone Regeneration Techniques
 Over a decade ago, veterinary dentists began a journey in the study of modern bone regeneration techniques in companion animals. In the Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 1997, in the manuscript, Bioglass®-Perioglas® Synthetic Bone Graft Particulate, data from the CT and NY Oral Care Specialty Centers on bone graft particulate in the treatment of osseous periodontal defects and in post-extraction sites, to maintain vertical height and width of the alveolar ridge, was unveiled. Eleven years later much progress has occurred in Bone Regeneration Techniques [BRT] and additional usages of bone alloplast have been identified...
