Laser Guided Surgery
What is Laser Guided Surgery?
Laser-guided surgery in dentistry refers to the use of lasers to assist and enhance various dental procedures. Lasers are highly focused beams of light that can be used for precise cutting, vaporization, or coagulation of tissues. When used in dental surgery, lasers offer several advantages over traditional techniques, such as reduced bleeding, minimized post-operative pain, decreased risk of infection, and improved healing.
Here are a few common applications of laser-guided surgery in dentistry:
- Soft Tissue Procedures: Gum contouring, gingivectomy (the removal of extra gum tissue), and frenectomy (the removal of the frenulum, a little fold of tissue that inhibits mobility) can all be done with lasers. The soft tissues may be precisely targeted by the laser, leading to less bleeding, quick healing, and enhanced aesthetics.
- Dental Fillings: Lasers can be used to remove decayed portions of a tooth before filling placement.
- Treatments for Periodontal Disease: Lasers are used in periodontal treatment for treating gum disease. The laser has the ability to eliminate sick gum tissue, clean the region, and encourage gum reattachment to the tooth root. The name of this procedure is LANAP, or laser-assisted periodontal treatment.
- Oral Surgery: Lasers can be used in various oral surgical procedures, such as removing soft tissue lesions, treating oral ulcers, performing biopsies, and uncovering impacted teeth.

Benefits
- Precision: With the use of lasers, dentists may precisely target particular parts of the mouth with the least possible harm to the surrounding, healthy tissues.
- Minimally invasive: Lasers can carry out some treatments without the need of sutures or incisions, minimizing discomfort after surgery and accelerating recovery.
- Less bleeding: As the laser cuts, the high-energy light beam cauterized blood vessels, reducing bleeding.
- Sterilization: Lasers' high temperatures have a sterilizing effect that lowers the danger of infection both during and after the process.
- Better healing: Laser light can stimulate tissue regeneration and speed up recovery, reducing the amount of patient downtime.
