“…Devi et al, 2018 investigated in a review that the need for a retraction cord is reduced by making a trough with the laser before taking an imprint, eliminating much of the challenging labor and making everything simple and brief [7]. The need for hemostatic drugs and electrocution is reduced or eliminated because the blood vessels are sealed, allowing for coagulation.…”

There are several benefits to using a laser, including less invasive, more accurate, and precise procedures with less discomfort, quicker healing, no direct soft and hard tissue contact, no vibration, and more patients. Attain rapid hemostasis and humidity control. Some people have anesthesia fears and allergies. Lasers have become an essential aspect of these patients' therapy. A systematic literature review from 2012 to 2022 was performed using PubMed, Medline, and ScienceDirect databases. review". PRISMA flowchart was used to describe the selection process of searched articles. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment method was used to assess the quality of the studies included. A total of eight studies were included in this systematic review, and the majority of the studies reported the successful use of lasers in accomplishing various types of soft and hard tissue prosthodontic procedures. Lasers of various types are effective in performing several prosthodontics procedures and can be an option in the future to replace conventional dental procedures.

“…The first use of lasers in dental practice dates back to 1956, when Thomas Maiman created the prototype of the ruby laser (694 nm). He subjected an extracted tooth to his model tool, which led to energy transfer [ 1 , 2 ]. The laser, which is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, represents a versatile tool with multiple applications in modern dentistry [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Laser, an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is a powerful tool with diverse applications in modern dentistry. It emits monochromatic, coherent light resulting from photon-induced chain reactions. Available dental lasers include diode, argon, Er,Cr:YSGG, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, and CO2. The unique property of these lasers, allowing them to be effectively used on both soft and hard tissues based on the operational parameters, positions them as particularly suited for a wide range of dental procedures. Compared to traditional methods, lasers offer advantages such as improved hemostasis and quicker wound healing. Such benefits stress the shift towards laser technology in dental treatment. In the realm of dental prosthodontics, which focuses on esthetics, functionality, and the physiological aspects of dental prostheses, lasers provide promising outcomes. Among the prosthetic options, fixed partial dentures stand out for their ability to mimic natural teeth, offering both esthetic and functional features, leading to satisfactory long-term outcomes if managed properly. This review paper delves into the specific application of laser technology in the context of prosthetic rehabilitation involving fixed partial dentures. By investigating intraoral laser procedures, it contributes to understanding laser’s role in improving patients’ satisfaction and clinical efficiency in this field.
