Soft tissue Diode Laser is Simple, intuitive, and ergonomic. It is easy to use and implement in Dental practice. The Dental diode Laser is so popular due to optimal power aids in healing and superior regeneration. Incorporate laser therapy on a daily basis offers numerous benefits to the overall health of the practice, clinicians, and patients.
Utilizes the latest advances in technology and dentistry, enhances the patient experience and a higher standard of care.
Diode Laser pain therapy
- Increase vasodilatation which creates an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Stimulates cellular function and temporary increase in blood circulation.
- Promotes wound healing and tissue regeneration.
- Modulates the Immune system.
- Topical heating elevates, tissue temperature creating a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness.
Laser Bacterial Reduction
- Sulcular decontamination
- Reduces the risk of bacteraemia.
- Encourage healthy cellular function.
Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT)
- Sulcular Debridement.
- Eliminates periodontal pathogens.
- Encourages reattachment and cultivates a healthy microbiome.
Laser Treatment Benefits – The Diode Laser beneficial for dentists as well as Patients.
| Benefit for Dentist: | Benefit for the Patient: |
| Practice growth and differentiation. | Minimal or no bleeding |
| Precise incision, excision, and ablation | No Swelling, faster healing |
| Quality of work | Reduced post-operative infection |
| Clean, clear and Bloodless Operating field | Minimal or no anesthesia |
| Reduced Stress | Minimal Pain and inconvenience |
| Greater efficiency | Less time in the chair, Less anxiety |
| A versatile tool for Several applications | Whitening single visit procedure |
| Can be used in any compromised patient | Less time predictable result |
| Increased patient comfort. | High-quality treatment |
The device like Electrocautery and Diode Lasers are being used for Dental soft tissue procedures. Electrocautery uses electricity or high-frequency electrical currents to conduct soft tissue surgery. A device that creates thermal energy to cut the tissue, resulting in lateral thermal injury to the tissue and also may result of delayed healing and post up inflammation.
Comparison: Dental Lasers Vs Cautery
| LASER | CAUTERY |
| Local anesthesia not mandatory | Local Anaesthesia mandatory |
| Healing is faster and better | Healing takes a longer duration of time |
| Non-invasive- zone of necrosis limits to only3—5 cell deep | Invasive- Zone if necrosis is in multilayer |
| Sutures are not mandatory | Sutures are mandatory |
| Can be used in safe proximity of cementum, dentin, and alveolar bone | Cannot be used in close proximity with bone- can lead to sequestration of healthy bone |
| Can be used safely in systemically compromised patients | Cannot be used in pts with a pacemaker and other valvular replacement |
| With Bio-stimulation mode can assure better predictable healing | Healing Delayed |
| Has multiple applications in- Endodontics, Periodontal procedure, dentistry eg. Bleaching, root canal disinfection, desensitization, etc | It has very limited applications in dentistry. Moreover, the thermal damage caused can be irreversible at times. |
Conclusion:
Diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 800nm to 1024 nm as a possible instrument for soft tissue oral surgery. It works on the concept of absorption of chromophores of the tissues.
The Laser radiant energy produced coagulation, ablation, vaporization, protein denaturation, Less pain and faster healing So that Diode Laser always advantageous over cautery because of better control, potentially lower pain and inflammation, and improved wound healing
