Laser Dentistry
LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation)
Surgical Laser or High Intensity Laser Treatment (HLLT)
Non- Surgical Laser = Low Reactive – level Laser Treatment ( LLLT)
- Laser absorption diffusion in the tissue provoke a photoactive response, resulting from the tissue photo destruction or Photo activation. Surgical Laser usually causes Photo destruction of cell, raising tissue temperature, creating photo thermal effect, vaporizing the cells hydric Content & Carbonizing the tissue.
- Non Surgical (LLLT) Laser causes Photo activation it increases the cells metabolic activity in the irradiated area.It has Anti- inflammatory analgesic effect & causes fast tissue healing. Laser Therapy is a Great help in almost every Dental Specialities.

ADVANTAGES OF LASER IN DENTISTRY
- Does not require anesthesia, so procedures are quicker and simple.
- No bleeding, no infection, No sutures, no pain and swelling and hence faster wound healing.
- Less overall chair side time.
- Adjoining tissues are protected from damage.
- Quieter and less fatigue for patient as well as Dentist.
- Full range of high precision safe hard and soft tissue treatments available.
