Lasers in periodontal therapy
A review
Keywords:
laser, therapy, periodontitis, anesthesia, dentistryAbstract
The unique nature of laser light and its specific absorption, led to an expansion of its use in medicine. Several medical specialties use lasers in their daily practice, and it has become the standard of care for surgical therapy. The recent rapid development of lasers, with different wavelengths and onboard parameters may continue to have major impact on the scope and practice of dentistry. The use of lasers in dentistry has increased over the past few years. Currently, lasers are generally accepted in periodontal therapy and widely used as a tool for soft tissue management. Application comfort, the silence, anesthesia reduction and other such advantages make lasers attractive for society and professionals. More long term systematic studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical and biological effects of each type of laser, the time and application mode, unique/multiple doses and application frequency.
