Different Styles of laser treatment
There are different forms of hard and soft tissue treatment by laser dentistry. Children and adults may use these strategies. This method of surgery has special absorption characteristics and is used for many dental processes.
Hard Tissue Lasers:
This laser wavelength can be absorbed by hydroxyapatite and water. Hydroxyapatite is a salt found in bones and teeth.
This method of laser surgery is mainly used to cut teeth and bone with exceptional precision. It’s primarily used in teeth prepping and shaping. It can also be used to extract a small amount of tooth or composite bonding. Worn-out dental fillings may also be treated Using hard tissue laser.
Soft tissue laser:
Water and Hemoglobin highly absorb laser-tissue. Haemoglobin supplies the oxygen to your red blood cells. Therefore, this laser approach would be more effective to manage soft tissue. This form of a laser can also effectively destroy bacteria, facilitating tissue regrowth.
This laser can penetrate soft tissue covering the blood vessels and nerve endings. This laser technology can quickly heal after completing the operation. As a result, laser dentistry is used in the process like gingival sculpting.
What are the advantages of laser dentistry?
As a doctor, I can tell you that Lasers have made my working process simpler and painless. Laser dentistry has many benefits, some of which include:
Quick Heal
One of the best things about laser dentistry is it causes much less pain and discomfort than conventional methods. Hence, patients undergoing laser dentistry procedures usually recover faster than patients undergoing conventional procedures.
Some patients experience no pain or discomfort after laser dentistry procedures.
Reduced infection risk
When conventional metal instruments are used during dental operations, they can cause gum abrasions, causing infections to occur. With lasers, you won’t have these problems.
Instead, lasers work to sterilize the region they concentrate on, killing most bacteria in that area. The outcome? Substantially decreased infection risk.
