LASER TECHNIQUES IN DENTISTRY AND THEIR ADVANTAGES
The sheer properties of laser itself have some considerable advantages for both treatment and the recovery. First and foremost is that laser can be applied on sensory, soft tissues of the gum with no apparent side effects. While depending upon the conditions, a minimum amount of anesthetics may be required for the treatment, in most routine cases the need of anesthetics is completely eliminated.
Since laser aids and enhances the clotting process the prospects of bleeding are minimized. Moreover, the laser sterilizes the site of treatment and so the chances of infection are also minimized. This also helps faster tissue regeneration thereby making the post-treatment healing process quicker and the overall recovery time is thus shortened considerably.
