Aims: develop a distance regulator for the Er:YAG laser. Methods: a metallic device adaptable to the 2051 handpiece was developed. Interchangeable metallic pieces, with diferent lengths, are adaptable to the regulator's body. Results: this laser device allows standard distances for laser delivering, from 08 to 20 millimetres from target tissue. Conclusions: the use of this new device allows a standard evaluation of the Er:YAG laser effects in experimental surgery, when emitted from different distances of the target tissue.
