Needle-free and anesthesia-free treatment is shown as one of the biggest advantages of laser. The laser device used in cleaning
decay tissues on teeth and in gum surgeries plays an important role in overcoming the fear of the dentist
with these advantages. The laser system targeting water molecules creates small explosions in the target tissue by absorbing the laser energy by the water in the tissue being studied. These
small explosions separate the tissues on the working surface by breaking the inter-tissue bonds. Since there is no thermal or mechanical effect during the procedure, the patient does not experience pain or sensitivity. Since the laser cuts the tooth tissue from a distance of 1 mm, the treatment can be performed without pain, anesthesia and bleeding. Preventing microcracks that occur as a result of the vibration created by the turbine on the teeth, being able to work without contacting the tissue and creating a sterile zone in the treatment environment are other factors that increase the success of the laser.
For which disorders is it used?
With the laser method, all kinds of treatments involving hard and soft tissues in the mouth can be performed.
Cleaning of decayed tissues in the teeth, removal of bone in the extraction of teeth embedded in the bone, cleaning of root tip cysts, root canal expansion and disinfection. , treatment of gum
infection, lengthening the length of teeth by cutting the gums for aesthetic purposes, tongue and lip tie
incisions, intraoral aphtha and ulcer treatment, eliminating tooth sensitivity, removing discoloration due to hyper pigmentation
in the gums. Many treatments are successfully performed using laser.
Who should be treated with laser in particular?
Patients who are afraid of the dentist or injections, pregnant women and individuals with serious
diseases such as heart disease. Since anesthesia is often inconvenient, laser use is preferred. Thus, patients feel more comfortable.
Since the first experiences are decisive in the later periods of life, it would be a good choice to apply laser in the treatment of children who are taken to the dentist for the first time.
