Laser technology, which has been used in the medical field since the 1960s, has been used in dentistry for teeth whitening, gum, bone and dental operations.
Some of the treatments applied using laser
Gingivectomy - Ginvoplasty:
Gingivectomy is the process of surgically cutting and removing the gum tissue in order to reduce the depth of the pocket or to remove the pocket. During this procedure, the gum that has lost its physiological form is reshaped, this is called Gingivoplasty.
As a result of laser gingivectomy treatment, bleeding does not occur and the healing process progresses quickly. As a result of laser applications, prosthetic procedures can be started quickly.
It is a method used in smiles that we call 'Gummy-smile', where the gums appear more than normal when smiling. The excess gum that impairs the smile is removed with a small operation.
With local anesthesia, the patient will not feel anything. Gingivoplasty, which is a very minor surgical procedure, is important enough to completely change the smile in a short time.
In cases where the aesthetic problem involves the teeth, laminate veneers are applied after the gum operation to create a complete smile design.
Curettage:
Curettage means deep cleaning and removal of unhealthy tissue within the gums. The healing process is faster in deep gum cleaning performed with laser.
Removal of gum discolorations:
In normal methods, the removal of gum discolorations is done with a scalpel. The process can also be done with laser applications. Removing gum discolorations with laser application is a more easily applicable method, and thanks to this application, patients have the opportunity to continue their normal lives comfortably.
Cancer and Herpes Treatment with Laser:
There is no specific treatment for canker sores and herpes. The pain of the wounds is relieved with ointments applied on canker sores and cold sores. With laser treatment, the healing process of canker sores and cold sores is accelerated and the pain is relieved. With laser treatment, the rate of recurrence of aphtha and herpes decreases.
With laser. teeth whitening:
Effective results are obtained in teeth whitening operations performed with laser.
Sensitivity treatment with laser:
With laser treatment applied to tooth sensitivities that develop due to many reasons, the dentin channels that cause sensitivity are closed.
Biostimulation with Laser:
Laser energy given in low doses is always It relieves the pain felt after any type of treatment and accelerates the healing time of the cells.
Cleaning of decayed teeth:
All tooth decays that occur on tooth enamel, dentin or cementum are often It is cleaned without the need for anesthesia. The patient is treated with this method applied with laser.
Surgical procedures performed on the bone around the tooth:
Laser treatment is applied to all surgical procedures performed on the bone tissue. Dental implants, impacted wisdom teeth operations, bone corrections, crown lengthening with open and closed techniques, etc. Procedures are surgical procedures in which laser treatment is applied.
Root Treatment:
Root root canal treatment is one of the treatments in which laser is applied. Since intracanal sterilization is achieved with the use of laser in dental root canal treatment, the success of the treatments increases.
Tooth Sensitivity Treatment (Hypersensitivity):
Cold sensitivity experienced as a result of gum recession. is solved by clogging of dentin channels with laser treatment.
