Laser in dentistry
A technology that has become increasingly utilized in clinical dentistry is that of the laser. Initially introduced as an alternative to the traditional halogen curing light, the laser now has become the instrument of choice, in many applications, for both periodontal and restorative care. Although the laser offers many advantages over other modalities of treatment, probably the greatest impact it has made is the ability to be used for both hard and soft tissue, often times without the need for anesthesia. The following are just a few examples of the many applications of lasers in dentistry.
Gingival Recontouring: The application of the laser in gingival recontouring has become the treatment of choice for the aesthetic clinician as a means to optimize the smile design process since the mid 1990’s.

Ovate Pontics: The ovate pontic has become the choice of pontic design for both aesthetics and cleansibility reasons. Success of the ovate pontic is a result of developing an ideal site into the gingival tissue.
Utilization of the laser, as opposed to other methods such as electrosurgery or scalpel surgergy, allows for immediate impression of the site for the definitive restoration.



Frenectomies: the use of the laser is ideal for both maxillary and lingual frenectomies. Since the laser seals both nerve endings and capillaries
A labial frenectomy was performed after consultation with an orthodontist to aid in the diastema closure. No suture was placed

6 months post-op. The space has completely closed, even without orthodontic treatment, and healing is excellent

Periodontal treatment: The use of lasers in periodontal treatment has been well documented over the
past 10 years. When used in deep periodontal pockets with associated bony defects, the laser not only removes the diseased granulation tissue and associated bacteria, it also promotes osseoclast and osseoblast activity, often resulting in bone regrowth.


A 12.0 mm periodontal pocket was present mesial After 4 laser treatments, the pocket of the Mandibular right second molar was reduce to 5.0 mm and new bone actually filled into the defect.
