Laser dentistry is a modern and effective approach used in various treatments related to the soft and hard tissues of the mouth and teeth. Dental lasers utilize focused and controlled light energy to perform precise cuts, disinfect infected areas, and reduce bacteria, all without the need for traditional mechanical instruments. This technology is employed in multiple areas such as gum surgery, periodontal treatments, removal of surface decay, teeth whitening, and treatment of oral wounds.
The advantages of laser dentistry include reduced pain, decreased bleeding, faster tissue healing, and greater precision in executing treatments. Additionally, this method often leads to a reduced need for local anesthesia and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues. The use of lasers in dentistry serves as an auxiliary tool to enhance treatment outcomes, improving the effectiveness of traditional methods and enhancing the overall treatment experience for patients.
