LASER is an acronym for 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.' 'Zur Quantum Theorie Der Stralung' (Notion of Wavelength) a work by Albert Einstein's, published in 1916, is widely credited with the invention of the concept of spontaneous emission of radiation. Testing with microwaves, Charles Townes created a system in 1953 that allowed this radiation to be amplified when passed through ammonia gas. In 1960, Miaman was the first to introduce laser dentistry and its hard and soft tissue applications. A collimated and coherent beam of light is emitted by lasers.1 Laser is a photon of a single wavelength. Laser emits light by optical magnification. Light is a form of energy produced by electromagnetic radiation which moves at a constant speed by wave motion. The photon or light particle is the fundamental unit of radiant energy. Soft tissue applications include healing of wounds, excision of hyperplastic tissue of impacted teeth, photodynamic therapies for tumors and removing restoration, prevention of caries, bleaching, curing, dentinal hypersensitivity, preparation of cavity, growth modulation, and diagnostic needs are among the hard tissue applications Diode Laser, , Neodymium:YAG, Erbium Chromium:YSGG ,He:Ne and Erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) Laser are the most often used lasers in endodontics. Despite the fact that lasers are somewhat more expensive than traditional therapy, they are an useful tool for increasing the efficiency, specificity, convenience, and comfort of dental treatment.
A successful endodontic treatment depends on endodontic treatment as well as post endodontically restoring the lost tooth structure2 . Compared to vital teeth, root canal-treated teeth will be more prone to biomechanical problems. Post-core treatments are often used in dentistry to prevent fracture of the remaining dental tissues in crown treatments and to support the final restorations in root canal-treated teeth, especially those with extensive loss of tooth structure. An ideal post should dissipate the occlusal load acting on the tooth uniformly. In the event of a retreatment the post must be easily removeable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
