Types of Dental Lasers
Variety of hard tissue lasers and soft tissue lasers are available in dentistry
HARD TISSUE LASER
These type of lasers have wavelength that can be easily absorbed by hydroxyapatite (present in bone and teeth) ,making them more effective for cutting tooth structure . These can precisely cut tooth structure in small amount for shaping process and also for tooth preparations.
USES
SOFT TISSUE LASERS
Soft tissue lasers produce wavelengths that can be easily absorbed by haemoglobin and water. Nd:YAG lasers used in periodontal therapy can effectively kill bacteria and also helps in healing of tissues. CO2 laser used in dentistry can remove tissue in a faster rate and also reduce adjacent tissue damage.
Moreover these act by sealing blood vessels and nerve endings thereby reducing post operative pain. This makes lasers special as they make the procedure comfortable for patients.
