Dental laser Castel Maggiore, Bologna.
The use of lasers in various disciplines is becoming increasingly common because it is a very versatile technology that solves a variety of problems being addressed by dermatologists, neurosurgeons, and dentists.
The diode laser we use at our Airam dental clinic has a radiation of 810 nm and is used for cutting, coagulation, and tissue destruction, but it is also a tool for therapies such as biostimulation, decontamination, and disinflammation.
The laser source emits very high-power radiation on a very small surface area. The therapeutic and surgical effect depends on the interaction between the laser beam and the tissue being treated.
Energy absorption by tissues depends both on the characteristics of the tissue (color, absorption properties, reflection of water, pigments, hemoglobin, and other substances) and on those of the laser itself (wavelength, effective power, mode of irradiation).
In dentistry, not only is the laser useful for teeth, but it becomes essential in treating diseases such as periodontitis (also called pyorrhea).
An effective treatment for periodontitis.
Pyorrhea is a disease of the gums that generates their inflammation and bleeding and evolves to the formation of bacteria-laden pockets that cause this important periodontal structure to recede. All this causes bone resorption and instability of the tooth, which may eventually fall out permanently.
Pyorrhea starts from untreated gum disease that results from plaque that is deposited on the gum line, both below and above.
So periodontal disease affects the gums, bone, and ligament-that is, the entire periodontium that firmly supports the teeth.
The dental laser attacks tartar by making it weaker and making it easier to remove; it also kills all the bacteria that lurk in the gum pockets.
Periodontitis and lasers: here are the benefits.
The main rules for not going through this disease are taking care of dental hygiene at home by properly brushing and flossing, and regular checkups at the dentist during which they also do professional teeth cleaning.
When you are affected by periodontitis in spite of everything, the diode laser in dentistry becomes a very effective tool.
Laser dentistry does not regenerate bone, but it greatly decreases inflammation and swelling of the gums and, as a result, reduces tooth faltering.
It is fair to say that the laser is not miraculous, but it helps the classic therapies used to combat pyorrhea.
Plaque and tartar removal
Verification of previously performed fillings, prostheses, and other work
Detection of possible caries
Removal of stains and imperfections by polishing
Dentists who use lasers and patients treated with this tool find so many benefits in treating both severe and less problematic periodontitis.
The main advantages of dental laser are:
- Elimination of bacteria that cause periodontitis (even in areas where drugs are not effective);
- Avoid surgery, which is normally the only treatment for advanced stages of periodontal disease;
- Immediate interruption of gingival bleeding;
- Closure of periodontal pockets;
- Tissue regeneration;
- Elimination/Diminution of dental mobility;
- Absence of anesthesia during therapy.
In addition to all these positive factors, laser therapy of the teeth and gums is much more effective than other methods and is also used successfully for recurrences.
Laser biostimulation in dentistry allows cell duplication in treated tissues without creating alterations in structures.
Finally, the money savings of patients who decide to treat pyorrhea with this innovative therapy should not be underestimated.
Diode lasers in dentistry: there are numerous applications.
Gingivectomy
Gingivoplasty
Frenulectomy
Oral papillectomies
Hemostasis
Removal of neoformations
Treatment of abscesses;
Sterilization of fistulous canals;
Root canal decontamination
Cavity decontamination
Direct hooding
Scappucciamento plants
Peri-implantitis Pre-imprint sulcus
Pre-treatment of stumps
Preprosthetic surgery
Aphotic and herpetic lesions
Leukoplakiae and Lichen Ruben Planus
Teeth whitening and desensitization
It is a technology that provides long-lasting care, is very versatile and fast.
The evolution of lasers for dental use now allows dentists to perform operations more simply and with significant advantages without causing pain and bleeding.
The laser allows major surgeries such as those on frenulums, oral neoformations, and gum reshaping to be done without causing unsightly scars.
Even herpes, what we call lip fever, can be cured with this innovative method quickly, painlessly, and without a post-treatment course. In this case, laser therapy interventions are a couple of about ten minutes in duration. Biostimulation helps tissues regenerate rapidly and heal injuries without special complications.
The laser is also used to improve one’s appearance. In fact, teeth can be whitened and skin blemishes, acne, rosacea, keratosis and many other small blemishes can be removed from the face. It is also used in epilation and reduction of vascular lesions such as spiders, hemangiomas, and telangiectasis.
