LASER DENTISTRY
Laser dentistry is the use of lasers to treat a number of different dental conditions. It potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue compared to drills and other non-laser tools.
LASER stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam. This laser light produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to remove or shape the tissue. Lasers can make dental treatments more efficient, cost-effective, and comfortable for the patient.
LASER DENTISTRY VS GENERAL DENTISTRY
Laser dentistry provides patients with a better experience and quality. Even though laser dentistry is mainly associated with cosmetic treatments, it is equally effective for preventative purposes. It potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissues compared to drills and other non-laser tools.
HOW IS LASER USED IN DENTISTRY?
All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. When used for dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporiser of the tissue that it comes in contact with. When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth-bleaching agents.
Instead of needles and drills, laser dentistry uses Heatand light to treat Dental infections. That’s why the procedure is less painful.
CLASSIFICATION OF LASER IN DENTISTRY
Hard Tissue Lasers in Dentistry
The essential use of this laser is to cut the teeth with exact precision. It cuts into the teeth and bones with accuracy. This laser treatment is perfect during the cutting of the tooth structure.
The wavelength from the intricate tissue laser is highly absorbable by hydroxyapatite. Besides, the lasers include Erbium Chromium YSGG and Erbium YAG.
Hard tissue laser also helps in preparing or shaping the teeth with composite bonding. It helps in the removal of small tooth structures and the healing of dental tear fillings.
Dental Soft Tissue Laser Procedures
Soft tissue lasers can highly absorb water and haemoglobin, making them suitable to treat problems in the soft tissue. Likewise, the soft tissue lasers include Neodymium YAG with diode lasers. It helps in killing the bacteria in the mouth and helps reactivate the growth of the tissues.
Have you Any Question?
It’s not just for cavities, either. Laser dentistry can treat anything from canker sores to gum disease. It’s often a great option for kids too.
