Types of lasers:
1- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Lasers

2- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Lasers
3- Erbium Family Lasers (Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG)
Uses of laser in periodontology:

Lasers have various periodontal applications including
calculus removal, soft tissue excision, incision and ablation;
decontamination of root and implant surfaces;
biostimulation; bacteria reduction; and osseous surgery.
soft tissue excision, incision and ablation; decontamination
of root and implant surfaces; biostimulation; bacteria
reduction; and osseous surgery.
Lasers in periodontal therapy have been demonstrated to be
beneLicial for control of bacteremia better removal of the
pocket epithelium in the pockets, bacteria reduction,[
efLicient subgingival calculus removal (using Er: YAG lasers)
and improvement of periodontal regeneration in animals
and humans without damaging the surrounding bone and
pulp tissues.
- Removal of the pocket epithelium
- Removal of the pocket epithelium
- Bacterial reduction
Uses of laser in Opera4ve den4sry:

Detec'on:
Laser-induced -luorescence (LF) opened a new aspect in the early diagnosis of
hidden occlusal caries. DIAGNO dent is an LF-based devise which detects
mineral loss according to quantitative optical methods. A red light, produced
by a diode laser at 655 nm wavelength, illuminates the tooth surface and the
optical -iber transmits the -luorescence of mineralized tooth tissues for
detection. So, the intensity of the detected -luorescence indicates the extent of
caries. The reliability of DIAGNO dent, in detecting secondary caries under
composite restorations, is reported to be similar to digital radiographs ,
however, the Cone beam computed tomography seemed to represent the best
accuracy . Near-infrared laser transillumination (NIR-LTI) is another new
generation of caries detectors which have shown promising results compared
to DIAGNOdent however the researches are not vast enough to make a
determined conclusion.
Re-mineraliza'on and Caries Removal:
Dental caries can be installed by laser irradiation due to its effect on chemical,
physical and crystalline properties of the enamel. Enamel remineralization
can be induced by laser irradiation at a specific wavelength. Laser irradiation
might reinforce the enamel structure by causing physical fusion of the surface
and reducing enamel solubility by melting, sealing and re-crystallization .
Ultra-structural alterations in the enamel crystals might end in reduced
enamel solubility. These noticeable enamel alterations are: reduction of water
and carbonate content, increased amount of hydroxyl ion contents, formation
of pyrophosphates, and decomposition of proteins. Esteves-Oliveira et al.
stated that CO2 laser was capable to eliminate the enamel caries progression .
Also, it is reported that Pulsed CO2 laser irradiation caused enamel surface
fusion and inhibition of the subsurface caries-like lesions with 50% success
rate . Moreover, increased micro-hardness of enamel surface was detected by
several studies after laser application.
Uses of laser in pediatric den4stry:

- Caries Detection
- Caries Prevention
- Restoration, Pit and Fissure Sealants
- Endodontics
- Traumatology and Vitality Testing
- Preservation of Pulp Vitality
- Disinfection and Decontamination
- Analgesic Effects, Alleviation of Pain and Discomfort
- Exposure of Unerupted Teeth for Orthodontic Purposes
Uses of laser in dermatology:
skin condi'ons can be treated with lasers
- Pigmented lesions and tattoos

- Hair removal
- Facial wrinkles, scars, and sun-damaged skin
- Keloids and hypertrophic scars
Lasers have been used successfully to treat a variety of vascular lesions

including superficial vascular malformations (port-wine stains),
facial telangiectases, haemangiomas, pyogenic granulomas, Kaposi
sarcoma and poikiloderma of Civatte.
Uses of laser in dental surgery:

- Removal of oral mucosa lesions:
- Oral leukoplakia
- Lichen planus
- Gingival melanin pigmentation
- Fordyce granule excision
- Oral dysplasia
- Precancerous lesions
- Oral melanoma
- Excisional biopsy
- Treatment of Oral Cavity Venous Malformations
- Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws
- Ankyloglossia
- Fiberotomy
Uses of laser in Fixed prosthodon4cs:
Advantages of Laser Applica'ons in Prosthodon'cs
- Precision and minimally invasive approach
- Reduced discomfort and faster healing
- Hemosta8c proper8es and bacterial decontamina8on
- Versa8lity in applica8ons: Laser assisted procedure find
diverse applica8ons in prosthodon8cs, that ranges from
so? 8ssue management (for example, gingivectomy, crown
lengthening) to several restora8ve procedures (for
example, cavity prepara8on, bonding), and even in the
implant den8stry including the peri-implan88s
management, so? 8ssue contouring
- Enhanced pa8ent experience
Clinical applica'ons
- Soft Tissue Management

- Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
- Crown Lengthening
- Frenectomy and Frenotomy
Expansion of Applications in Prosthodontics:
