Top Advantages of using Dental Diode Laser for Soft Tissue Surgical Procedures

Laser treatment in dentistry is an alternative to all kinds of treatment carried out. These lasers can be categorized by a lot of methods like wavelength, the type of tissue that is involved (hard tissue or soft tissue), the medium that is used (solid, or gas laser)

What are the most common laser used in dentistry?

The lasers that are most commonly used in dentistry are diode lasers, argon lasers, Nd-YAG lasers, carbon dioxide lasers, the Erbium lasers and more.

 The dental Diode lasers are most frequently used. They’re usually compact in size and are inexpensive which makes them a hero in the world of dentistry. Now Diodes are useful in soft tissue surgery to achieve good haemostasis.

Diodes are a combination of aluminium, gallium, and arsenide operating at 810-980 nm wavelength. This absorbs highly pigmented tissue containing haemoglobin, melanin, and water. This explains the selective action of diode lasers on soft tissue operations like incision, blood coagulation, haemostasis, and curettage.

Also, these diode lasers exhibit bactericidal properties and hence can be used for periodontal procedures. Also used for laser-assisted teeth whitening.

These diodes are emitted in continuous wave and can be pulsed whenever more control is needed.

The various procedure where lasers are used:

• Fibroma removal
• Frenectomy
• Frenotomy
• Gingival troughing for crown impressions
• Gingivectomy
• Gingivoplasty
• Incision and excision
• Haemostasis
• Coagulation

The advantages of using Dental diode for soft tissue surgery:

• All in one device

These soft tissue lasers are truly beneficial as different treatment modes can be operated through the same device. There is access to surgery, pain relief as well as the teeth whitening from the single device bought. Additionally, these lasers can treat a variety of soft tissue issues without the need to switch between different lasers for every procedure.
