A New Trend in Dentistry__laser dentistry

A laser is an instrument that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy. When laser light comes in contact with tissue, it causes a reaction. The light produced by the laser can remove or shape tissue.


Laser dentistry is started since 1990. Lasers can be used as a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of dental procedures and are often used in conjunction with other dental instruments.

Dental lasers can be used to:

*  Infection control
a. Gum disease- remove inflamed tissues and remove bacteria by the energy produce by laser which aid in the gum treatment

      b. Tooth whitening-enhance the effect and
     speed up procedure

*  Incison of soft tissue

a.Removed overgrown gum in tooth cavity/  
   hyperplasia of gingival

b. Remove labial frenum/muscle attachment

However, even those procedures that require only a short period of laser usage benefit from the advantages of laser therapy.
               

With laser surgery, there is a reduced need for local anesthesia, bleeding is minimized, swelling is controlled, and there is usually little, if any, postoperative discomfort.
