Laser treatment
Today different wavelength lasersystems are used in dentistry. These provide various advantages over conventional treatments: Laser treatment is minimal invasive and tissue preserving, leads to better woundhealing and reduces pain. The most effective wave length is 810 nm used in diodelasers. Using such a laser speeds up surgical procedures because no sutures are necessary. In most cases there is no or only minimal bleeding. In short, the use of dental lasers provides effective treatment while guaranteeing patient comfort.
Today there is a wide range of dental procedures where lasers are used:
1. Periotreatment
- conservative treatment : no loss of healthy tissue
- catering to aesthetic demands
- only minimal anaesthesia required
- no scalpel
- no sutures
- minimal or no discomfort after surgery
- the patient can chew, drink and clean his teeth right away
- fewer appointments in the dental office
2. Endodontics
- bacteria reduction of nearly 100 %
- Complete treatment in one session
- Apicectomy not necessary
3. Mucogingival surgery
- Removal of interfering gingival ligaments
- Support of orthodontic treatment
- Uncovering of wisdom teeth or impacted teeth in general
- Support of implant dentistry
- Instant treatment of aphtosis and herpes lesions
4. Further options
- Desensitizing teeth
- Sealing dentintubuli as caries prevention
- Use of softlasers for woundhealing and painprevention by biostimulation
