Lasers have been present in dentistry since 1994 to treat a number of dental problems as an alternative to more traditional treatment.

How are lasers used in dentistry?

A laser is pointed beam of light which works with defined wavelength and energy suitable for soft or hard tissues of an oral cavity.

Different types of lasers are used in dentistry such as Diode, Er: YAG, Er, Cr: YSGG with a wide range of possibilities of their use in many dental procedures.

What are the advantages of the use of dental laser?

Tretmani laserom podrazumevaju intervencije koje zahtevaju minimalnu upotrebu anestetika, jer su intervencije manje bolne.

  • Laser treatment reduces the need for anesthetics.
  • When used in surgical procedures, there is little or none bleeding and minimal risk of wound infection because of the coagulation that happens at the same time as the performed procedure.
