The medical laser technology has been widely applied in clinical practice and basic research. This word laser is the acronym for â??Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiationâ?. The laser is a device that consists in a highly focused beam of light that removes soft and hard tissues vaporizing them. The focused laser light travels through an optical fiber or through an articulated arm with mirrors which the dentist directs to the treatment area. Today, there are two types of dental laser: Therapeutic and surgical lasers. Therapeutic lasers emit less energy than the surgical laser and its effect is non-thermal, therefore it is not used to remove tissue. An example of this is the low level laser that help us to stimulate wound healing and relief from inflammation, as well as cellular proliferation which serves as an antioxidant, demonstrating it as a promising technique for gingival repairing. The surgical laser help us in the cauterization of soft tissues, a quick healing along with pain relief, also it shows some advantages and procedures that could not be achieved with conventional methods. The dental lasers helps us to perform a more conservative and a rapid and effective procedure in oral therapy and it also reduces post-operative pain that is left by the conventional methods.
