Laser use in Dentistry

LASER is an acronym that stands for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.” The apparatus produces light energy in the form of an extremely narrow and concentrated beam. When this laser light strikes tissue, it causes a response that allows it to remove or shape the tissue.

It is used in dentistry to treat a variety of dental problems. Laser dentistry, when compared to drills and other non-laser equipment, can provide a more convenient treatment option for a number of dental treatments involving hard or soft tissue.

The use of lasers in dentistry is intended to treat a variety of diseases, including:

Since the early 1990s, lasers particularly designed and developed for dental procedures or oral surgery have been widely used. Hereby, our dental clients are strongly advised to acquire the Medical Dental Diode Laser System LASER-3.0 and the Dentistry Diode Laser System LASER-4.0. In which they survey dental professionals in a variety of applications.

The LASER-3.5 Medical Dental Diode Laser System has a color touch screen, wireless foot control, and customisable pre-set protocols. It provides dentists and hygienists with an efficient and cost-effective laser for their practice.

LASER-3.5 is a clinical device capable of generating precise incisions in gingiva and other soft tissues while also eliminating bleeding at the site and shortening the patient’s recovery period.

The particular wavelength has significant absorption in water, and haemoglobin combines precision cutting characteristics with fast coagulation, making it the most affordable yet sophisticated laser accessible for soft tissue dentistry applications.

With a frequency of 10KHz, it can cut soft tissue very quickly and smoothly, with less blood and discomfort than conventional dental surgery instruments. Aside from soft tissue surgery, it is utilized for a variety of other therapies such as detoxification, biostimulation, and dental whitening.

The Diode Laser Dentistry Diode Laser System LASER-10 on the other hand, is perfect for coagulation, vaporization, and bloodless surgery because to its peak sucking in hemoglobin and water permeability.

It interacts better with tissue components such as hemoglobin and melanin. At 450 nm, this allows for better and softer cutting, even at lower strength. It is useful for both surgical applications and hemostasis due to its higher cutting efficiency.

To recap, lasers are a beneficial complement to dental treatment in terms of infection prevention, wound healing management, drainage control, and vibration control in hard tissue ejection.
