Lasers in Prosthodontics- A Review.

Abstract: Since the development of the ruby laser by Maiman in 1960, a variety of studies on the potential applications of lasers in dentistry have been conducted. Many applications like computer aided design and rapid prototyping technology, and study of occlusion in complete dentures using three-dimensional laser scanner have been developed. Its applications range from fixed Prosthodontics to treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity to surface treatment of base metal alloys. Today it even extends to the fields of dental… Show more

“…Success in fixed prosthodontics relies on pinpoint precision during treatment using the optimal amount of energy at the right wavelength. Crown lengthening, laser troughing, soft tissue modification surrounding laminates, Management of soft tissues around the abutment, osseous crown lengthening, altered passive eruption, and oval pontic site formation are all examples of how lasers are used in prosthodontics [15]. One of the benefits of using a laser is that production times are drastically reduced.…”

“…Laser energy can be used to sterilize the implant surface. For sterilizing implant surfaces, diode, CO 2 , and Er:YAG lasers are routinely employed, 6 eliminating bacterial contamination and enhancing the success rate. 52 The Er:YAG Laser can be used to remove subgingival calculus from the surface of a titanium implant fixture without causing thermal damage.…”
