LASERS IN ORTHODONTICS

To have a precise diagnosis and to select a proper and successful laser-assisted treatment modality for a disease, the clinician should have a comprehensive understanding of the principles and fundamentals of the laser and its helpful abilities. When considering the use of the lasers used in clinical dentistry, the practitioner must use clinical experience, receive proper training and be familiar with each device's operating characteristics. Because of the variable composition of human tissue and how the laser beam energies are absorbed, no single laser is appropriate for all dental applications.
