Types Of Lasers

Types Of Lasers
There are two types of lasers – hard tissue and soft tissue lasers. Dentists use either hard or
soft tissue laser depending on the treatment being undergone. Each laser has a unique
wavelength making it appropriate for cutting the specific tissue. Laser treatments may vary in
price depending on the procedure and equipment used. 

Hard Tissue Lasers
Hard tissue lasers focus on patient’s teeth structure. The wavelength of hard tissue lasers cut
through water and bone, specifically calcium phosphate. The lasers accurately cut into your
teeth removing small amounts for shaping. Hard tissue lasers focus on detecting cavities,
dealing with tooth sensitivity and preparing teeth for dental fillings.
Soft Tissue Lasers
Soft tissue lasers use a very light wavelength that absorbs water and haemoglobin easily.
Haemoglobin is the blood molecule which makes the lasers ideal for gum work. It’s a
continuous wave laser which is good at sealing exposed blood vessels. 
This prevents bleeding during laser dentistry and assures quick healing after intense dental
procedures. Soft tissue layers focus on lengthening crowns, reshaping gums, dealing with
restricted tongue movement and removing folds in soft tissues caused by dentures. 
What Are The Benefits Of Laser Dentistry Over
Other Traditional Methods?
 Potential decrease of sutures with soft tissue lasers.  This assures extreme comfort and easy
recovery. 
 Reduced blood loss, bleeding is minimized in soft tissue lasers. 
 Anaesthesia is unnecessary in some procedures. 
 Lasers sterilize the gums and so, a chance for a bacterial infection is very low!!
 Prevents damage to other surrounding tissues. 
 Reduce anxiety among patients, creating a comfortable treatment time.
The food and drug administration (FDA) has approved laser dentistry as the safe and
effective treatment option for clinical dental procedures. Dentists are specifically trained by
the manufacturers, dental schools and professional organizations for better treatment.  
On contemplating a laser treatment, clear all your queries with the concerned dental doctor
and go for a safe treatment. Harmless treatments for perfect dental-hygiene!!

Dental 3D printing is a flourishing industry that is expected to meet $930 million by the end
of 2025. 3D printing includes a variety of materials and its dental application is boundless. 
Over the past few decades, several significant manufacturing has reached different sectors
and industries. They subsequently offer important advantages in terms of cost, productivity,
customization and lead times. In dentistry, technology creates solutions adapted to the
specific needs of patients.
