Since the discovery of the laser 50 years ago, not many clinicians have adopted the use of lasers due to the potential harmful side effects of heat. Since the advent of the fourth generation of lasers, which are non-heat producing due to water and air cooling, benefits of laser dentistry have attracted the attention of dentists. This presentation will demonstrate the versatility of such lasers in both soft and hard tissue applications that are utilized in operative dentistry, pedodontics, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, implantology and prosthodontics. The presentation will also illustrate superior patient comfort during and after dental treatments, as well as the newly FDA-approved pain management by using LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy). In addition, the presentation will include an introduction of how laser works, laser-tissue interactions, laser safety and regulation, and a synopsis of dental laser development.
