Use of lasers in oral and maxillofacial surgery: An overview
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Since the advent of lasers, they have found tremendous application in all fields of science. In recent times, lasers are viewed as an integral part of many of the surgical and medical practices currently employed. Hence, it becomes increasingly important to understand the rationale behind the use of lasers so as to use them efficiently and without undue inhibitions. The use of lasers in oral and maxillofacial surgery has seen a phenomenal increase in both, applications of lasers for different techniques, and also the number of surgeons opting to use them on a regular basis. This article serves to update practitioners on the development and current applications of these modern tools in regular practice so as to efficiently perform dental treatment and minimize complications associated with conventional techniques.
