Uses of the laser in dental treatments

• May 7, 2024

Dentistry has changed in the last 15 years. This has benefited both the dentist and the patient. These new technologies have improved efficiency and made dental treatments more predictable.

One of the technologies that provides the most benefits to dental treatments is the To be , which has become the instrument of choice for some procedures, such as cosmetic surgery or periodontal treatment, to reduce the pain of herpetic aphthae, elimination of sensitivity in collars or braces, etc. and in some of these cases they can be performed without anesthesia.

Among the advantages of To be in dental treatments, according to my experience, is that most patients do not complain of post-operative pain; that is, most of them comment that the next day they did not feel anything, occasionally some of them use some type of analgesic.

In this sense, there is no inflammation or retraction of the gums, as would be the case with conventional treatments, because the To be It releases its soft energy directly into the cell and does not harm it.

Another of the great advantages of To be is its ability to stop bleeding, so its use during the preparation of porcelain crowns results in better impression taking and of course in the end a better seal.

The To be diode, like the therapeutic (low frequency), can be used in dental treatments such as whitening, where its main function is to control the sensitivity during this procedure.

The therapeutic laser It can be used to potentiate the effect of anesthesia, managing to relax the patient. This laser is also used in the treatment of alveolitis; that is to say, when the bone is inflamed after an extraction and there is pain in the temporomandibular joint, the laser reduces them by a high percentage.
 

Also, in surgery it eliminates pain and accelerates healing and reduces the need to use more medications. It is also useful in the treatment of neuralgia, where the patient will feel a great relief with a simple application of 6 minutes.

The use of laser in dental treatments can be very broad, since it even benefits orthodontics, but it is also useful for facial paralysis, paresthesia, rhinitis, sinusitis, dizziness, osteoarthritis, arthritis and acne, among other conditions.
