Fields where Laser can be used:

Cosmetic Dentistry

Gum Depegmentation: Dental lasers can improve the overall appearence of a smile by removing gum pigmentation, which is lightening the colour of darkened Gum without bleeding and pain.

Gingivectomy: It is trimming away any excessive gum overlying the teeth. Many patient think that they have small teeth. But it might be that a big part of their teeth is underlaying their gum. We can remove that part with laser easily without pain and within 20 min only.
Many others have a swollen Gum ( Gum Hypertrophy ). with the Laser we can make the Gum look much countered that would suit your smile line.

Frenelectomy:
removing the Frenulum or cutting it out with laser for patient who have Diastema and are willing to have an orthodontic treatment.
or for cosmetic purposes while smiling.

Periodontics

Thanks to its bactericidal effect the laser can quickly and thoroughly decontaminate gingival pockets: this produces a significant reduction of bacteria and avoids a long and uncomfortable recovery. Through the natural analgesic and biostimulating effects of laser irradiation, patients usually have minimal post-operative discomfort. The diode laser is useful for the treatment of:

Laser soft tissue curettage
Laser removal of diseased, infected, inflamed, and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket
Removal of highly inflamed edematous tissue affected by bacteria penetration of the pocket lining and junctional epithelium
Sulcular debridement (removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve clinical indices including: gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss and tooth mobility)

Implants

Implants

In implantology the application of laser technology has opened up new possibilities, especially in the treatment of perimucosal pathologies, peri implantitis and implant uncovering.Cosmetic Dentist

The bactericidal action of the laser is particularly effective in the root canal, in the apical delta and in the dentine tubuli, speeding up the healing process of peri-apical lesions in comparison to traditional treatments. Rim Bogari Dental Center

Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

The laser is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way to achieve naturally white teeth. The laser light is used to activate the Doctor Smile LWS whitening gel which absorbs the energy from the light and penetrates tooth enamel to increase the lightening effect on the teeth. The presence of titanium oxide in the gel protects the enamel therefore minimizes pain and tooth sensitivity.

Surgery

Surgery

With dental diode lasers it is possible to perform a bloodless surgical operation with a complete haemostasis and an effective decontamination of the tissue. These indisputable advantages associated with faster healing and less swelling brings to more predictable results. Compared to electric or traditional scalpels, the laser does not cause any fasciculation of the muscular tissue. Surgical laser treatments include:

Exposure of unerupted teeth
Fibroma removal
Frenectomy and frenotomy
Gingival troughing for crown impressions
Gingivectomy & Gingivoplasty
Gingival incision and excision
Implant recovery
Incision and drainage of abscess
Leukoplakia
Operculectomy
Oral papillectomies
Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
Soft Tissue crown lengthening
Vestibuloplasty

Therapy

Therapy

Therapy is a field in which the effectiveness of the diode laser is particularly evident thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and benefits for the treatment of cancker sores, herpetic and aphthous ulcers, cheiliti angles, TMJ pain therapy, leucoplachia, lichen ruber planus. Laser therapy with low energy levels is usually known among physicians as LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) or LILT (Low Intensity Laser Therapy).
