Laser technology has been an integral part of dentistry since 1994, addressing various dental issues. While no laser system has received the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance, denoting compliance with ADA safety and efficacy standards, the ADA remains cautiously optimistic about the prospects of laser technology in dentistry. It's essential to note that dental lasers differ from the cold lasers used in phototherapy for pain relief and inflammation.
Common Applications of Dental Lasers:
All lasers operate by delivering energy in the form of light. When employed for surgical procedures, lasers function as cutting instruments or tissue vaporizers upon contact. In "curing" a filling, lasers enhance the bond between the filling and the tooth. In teeth whitening, lasers serve as a heat source, intensifying the effects of tooth bleaching agents.
