Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In essence, a dental laser is a medical device that generates a precise beam of concentrated light energy. This beam sterilizes the area and can simultaneously coagulate blood vessels which minimizes the occurrence of infections and/or bleeding. Patient discomfort is decreased and the need for aesthetic in many cases may be completely eliminated. Certain procedures can be performed in a fraction of the time, which means less time in the chair for the patients and greater practice throughput for the dentist.
The efficiency of the laser is based on peak absorption rates of unique laser wavelengths by target material resident in hard/soft tissue and other dental material (e.g. haemoglobin, water, hydroxylapatite etc). Optimal energy is delivered with minimal power output based on the unique and precise absorption characteristics of individual wavelengths. Certain laser wavelengths have an affinity for water and red-pigmented structures, which makes them particularly effective for soft tissue procedures in the oral cavity. Lasers are used to perform a variety hard and soft tissue procedures, including cutting (hard and soft tissue), coagulation, bacterial decontamination, curing and activation of bleaching materials.
For dental applications we use CO2 and Nd-Yag hard laser in our office.
