The field of dentistry continues to evolve, allowing for better patient care. Dental lasers are a valuable addition to dental treatment in terms of achieving precision in surgical procedures, contamination management, and faster healing control. It is crucial to recognize the role of lasers in dentistry in a range of important treatments in order to appreciate its value and benefits. 

Soft tissue Diode Laser is Simple, intuitive, and ergonomic.  It is easy to use and implement in Dental practice. The Dental Laser is so popular due to its optimal power aids in healing and superior regeneration. Incorporating laser therapy on a daily basis offers numerous benefits to the overall health of the practice, clinicians, and patients.

The latest innovations in technology and dentistry are used to improve the patient experience and provide a higher standard of treatment that also boost dental clinic’s productivity. 

Difference between an Electro-Cautery and Laser?

 

A 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 in delayed healing and post-up inflammation.

Here are a few disadvantages of the dental electrocautery which a clinician experiences:

• Local Anaesthesia is a must before starting any surgical procedure.
• The patient’s fear and anxiety increases with the electrocautery
• High heat production may cause the burning of tissues. 
• Burning flesh smell that comes from the tissue charring whenever electrocautery is used.
• Overcutting of the tissue may happen due to fast cutting of electrocautery
• Cannot use around metal driven prosthesis e.g. dental implants or PFM crown or Metal Crown or even pacemaker patients.

The list below shows the difference between electro-surgery and the dental diode laser

Advantages of Dental Laser:

When dental care is concerned, the use of a Biolase soft tissue laser allows for new and improved ways of giving patients the best treatment. Lasers are incredibly adept at accurately cutting through soft tissues, making them an excellent solution for a variety of soft tissue surgical procedures. 

In conjunction with traditional procedures, laser dentistry offers some really remarkable benefits. And besides our objective is to provide a comfortable environment for our patients. 

The diode laser has benefitted both dentists as well as the patient.

Biolase Ilase Dental laser is a versatile device that can be used for a wide variety of dental treatments. Nowadays the dental laser technology and its use in dentistry, particularly for oral surgery, are rapidly evolving. The use of a dental laser can be done for other procedures also  and the benefits it provides are:

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 bacteremia.
• Encourage healthy cellular function.

Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT)

• Sulcular Debridement.
• Eliminates periodontal pathogens.
• Encourages reattachment and cultivates a healthy microbiome.

Diode laser with a wavelength of 940nm as in Biolase Epic X  for soft tissue oral surgery provides better coagulation and tissue penetration. It works on the concept of absorption of chromophores of the tissues providing high precision treatment to the patient. 

Conclusion:

Due to better coagulation, ablation, vaporization, protein denaturation, Less pain, and faster healing, and last but not least easy application, Diode soft tissue Laser always provides advantages over electro-cautery. Its reduced post-operative trauma to the patients provides the patient a better clinical experience.
