LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation”. Lasers have been used in dental clinical practice since 1989. Hence, they are safe and have a long, successful clinical history. In contemporary dental practice, the laser source creates energy in a highly focused beam. When directed towards tissues in the mouth, it produces a reaction allowing us to achieve a wide variety of results.
