Laser Treatment

In recent years, laser applications have become increasingly popular, following technological advancements. Compared to traditional methods, laser treatments are advanced, easier to apply, and offer numerous advantages. The term “Laser” is derived from the acronym “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation” and does not produce radiation. First introduced in dentistry in the 1960s, lasers have become more accessible and user-friendly over the last 25 years due to technological advancements, making them a popular choice in modern dental treatments.

Lasers have a wide range of applications in dentistry. Their uses can be summarized as follows:

Removal of dental decay and preparation for fillings,
Periodontal surgery,
Root surface smoothing,
Treatment of gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as other oral tissue conditions,
Gum reshaping for pink aesthetic procedures,
Lightening the color of dark gums,
Alleviation of tooth sensitivity,
Treatment of canker sores and cold sores,
Wound healing after tooth extraction,
Management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders,
Treatment of implants and peri-implantitis,
Cleaning of root/implant surfaces,
Bleaching (teeth whitening) applications,
Sterilization of root canals during root canal treatment,
Bleeding control after surgical procedures.

Advantages of Dental Laser Treatments

The advantages of dental laser treatments can be summarized as follows:

Less pain and noise make the treatment more easily accepted by patients.
Requires minimal or no anesthesia.
Shorter operation times.
Reduces bleeding, providing advantages during and after surgical procedures.
Laser beams are localized, causing minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
No mechanical contact minimizes the risk of spreading lesions to adjacent tissues.
Provides sterilization of the treated tissue through the heat generated by the laser.
Smaller wound areas with minimal scar tissue formation.
Post-operative pain and swelling are significantly less compared to other surgical methods.

Precautions During Laser Applications

In modern dentistry, laser applications have become increasingly popular. When performed under the supervision of a careful and experienced dentist, laser treatments pose no risks to the patient.

It is absolutely essential for everyone present in the laser treatment room to wear protective goggles.
To prevent eye injuries caused by reflected laser beams, goggles specific to the type of laser being used must be worn.
The dentist and assisting personnel will provide the necessary guidance to ensure the patient’s safety.
There are no general health conditions that contraindicate the use of lasers.
