Laser in dentistry: An innovative tool in modern dental practice

Abstract: The term LASER is an acronym for ‘Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation’. As its first application in dentistry by Miaman, in 1960, the laser has seen various hard and soft tissue applications. In the last two decades, there has been an explosion of research studies in laser application. In hard tissue application, the laser is used for caries prevention, bleaching, restorative removal and curing, cavity preparation, dentinal hypersensitivity, growth modulation and for diagnostic purposes… Show more

“…Since their introduction to clinical dentistry in the 1960s, 99 multiple kinds of lasers with different applications -for hard tissues, soft tissues, light-curing, tooth-whitening, and disinfecting -have been used in dental practice. These lasers include neodymiumdoped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG), Er:YAG, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum perovskite (Nd:YAP), diode, argon (KTiOPO 4 ), erbium chromiumdoped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG), and potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP).…”
