Dental Laser Treatment

The use of a diode laser in dentistry is the most painless method of treatment, extremely effective, bloodless, and with a fast postoperative healing process. It is widely used in the therapy of periodontal and mucous diseases, gingival margin plastic surgery, frenulectomy, etc. The energy of the laser beam has a powerful bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect, as well as an analgesic effect. It is also used for laser teeth whitening, treatment of pain in the mandibular joint, neck and facial area.

The emitted light beam from the laser is not constant, but with a certain pulse frequency and power, tailored to the problems in the oral cavity and the maxillofacial area. It can be used both for treatment and for the prevention of diseases.

What is a dental laser and how does it work?

Dental lasers concentrate the energy of laser light on a small area of ​​the tooth or soft tissue, causing various physical or chemical reactions in the tissues.

When using a laser, its light hits the teeth or soft tissues and reacts with them, which can lead to:

  • Ablation – this is the process of removing matter from the surface of the tooth. The laser can remove cavities or remove inflamed tissue from the gums;
  • Photochemical reaction – when dental materials are exposed to laser light, a photochemical reaction can be initiated, which can accelerate their use process;
  • Thermal effect – when the laser interacts with tissues, they can heat up and change their features.

What is the advantage of using the diode laser?

Modern lasers penetrate deep into tissues, remove altered or damaged tissue, and can disinfect them, destroying all pathogenic bacteria that have penetrated, and coagulating the blood vessels in them (stopping bleeding).

One more advantage of using the laser is its high precision – only those tissues whose structure is damaged are removed. And since the tissues do not bleed, there is no need for stitches in cases of surgical intervention. The healing process is fast and painless.

In case of gum inflammation (gingivitis), laser treatment is the first choice, thanks to its high precision, targeting, and antibacterial effect. With the help of a laser, without traumatizing the gum, we can remove deeply penetrated bacteria, significantly reduce deep periodontal pockets, stop their bleeding, and, respectively, stop bad breath due to this inflammation. Thanks to these advantages, laser therapy is indispensable in the treatment of chronic periodontal diseases - treatment of periodontitis/periodontosis. After only 2-3 interventions, the gum mucosa regains its natural appearance - texture and color, the degree of tooth mobility is significantly reduced, and the likelihood of relapse is also reduced, compared to traditional (conventional) therapy. Problems such as bleeding and inflammation disappear after the first visit to a specialist.

The laser beam increases the local temperature, which improves the local blood supply and nutrition of the tissues, the influx of immune cells becomes greater, respectively, the immune response in them improves, which makes the healing process occur faster.

Application of lasers on the soft tissues

  • Laser-assisted bacterial reduction in periodontal pockets;
  • Treatment of aphthous ulcers and hyperplasia;
  • Gingivectomy;
  • Laser-assisted technique for prosthetic constructions;
  • Removal of frenulums and gingiva-buccal ligaments;
  • Pulpotomy;
  • Exposure of dental implants;
  • Excisional biopsy;
  • Low-intensity level laser therapy;
  • Teeth Whitening;
  • Exposure of teeth for orthodontic treatment;
  • Laser treatment of periodontitis.
