Laser Dentistry

When people think about lasers, the first thought that comes to mind is that it is a futuristic device that usually destroys everything in front of it with a magnificent flash of light. However, dental lasers are not a device that is performed with laser light as thought. They are devices used to detonate laser light only the water molecules in the tissue and to create a controlled pouch. Although these lasers actually eliminate the problems in your mouth, they are completely safe and are much smaller, more precise and varied than anything imagined in film and television today. Much easier procedures are carried out within the scope of technology suitable for time. In this way, there may be no need to numb the tooth as there will be no pain due to heat, vibration and friction.

For this reason, it can be preferred for patients in all age groups who are afraid of dentists. Disinfection and sterilization are provided in the area where the laser is used. The selective behavior of the laser light with adjustable power on the carious tissue ensures the completion of the treatment with little loss of substance. In addition, in the treatment of laser dentistry, the laser removes only the decayed area from the tooth.

Better Results in Very Short Time in Laser Teeth Whitening Procedures

It is a procedure that is successful in root canal disinfection in teeth with apical lesions in canal treatment. In this context, laser dentistry laser applications and composite filling applications known as laser filling among the public and hardened with a light source that is should not be confused with each other.

Laser Assisted Implant Applications

Hard tissue work in terms of cavity opening is carried out with the most effective cleaning laser method in current facilities. It has been stated that it is more advantageous to remove small particles from the tissue with a thermo-mechanical effect than to evaporate the material as a whole. With selective caries removal laser energy, tooth caries in all tissues of the tooth can be removed. Since the tooth is not touched, pain does not occur and anesthesia is not required. In addition, due to the characteristics of laser energy, a sterile environment is realized and then the bruises that can be reached are prevented.

It works with less energy in decayed tissue compared to hard dental tissue that is intact. Thus, it may be possible to clean only the decayed tissue without making a change in the intact tissues with the power-adjusted laser system.

Use of Laser in Dentin Etching

In general, it is seen that in the treatment of laser dentistry, the surface roughness of the dentin surface is equivalent to the eching made with phosphoric acid according to the random electron microscopy images. In both of these lasers, the microscopically appearing opaque color difference is an indication that the desired result has been achieved.

What is the Type of Laser Used in Dentistry?

There are two different types of lasers used in the treatment of laser dentistry. These are hard tissue and soft tissue lasers. The hard tissue laser uses a wavelength that can be highly absorbed by calcium phosphate in the teeth. This allows it to precisely cut the hard material of Pearl whites and remove small amounts of tooth structure to shape teeth for composite bonding and other work. In addition, in laser dentistry treatments, soft tissue lasers use a wavelength that is more easily absorbed by the water and hemoglobin in your gums.

This makes it the perfect tool to kill bacteria and other similar delicate processes. It is also used to reshape gum lines and allows the dentist to use the laser to give you the perfect smile you've always dreamed of.

Benefits of Using Laser in Laser Dentistry

In general, laser dentistry states that it has many benefits related to the use of laser. The laser method, which is not only a more precise method for oral surgery, also carries the risk of less pain during the procedure and the use of anesthesia becomes an option rather than an absolute necessity. In addition, it helps the blood to clot better, eliminating the need for sutures in some cases and minimizing the damage to the surrounding tissue by allowing the healing path to be short. Finally, lasers help kill bacteria while the procedure is in progress and help prevent future infections and other problems.

In this context, laser dentistry provides patients with the opportunity to use laser in dental treatments without applying local anesthesia. You can contact our company for more detailed information about laser dentistry treatments.
