The purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities for the application of laser therapy in medicine and dentistry by analyzing lasers’ underlying mechanism of action on different cells, with a special focus on stem cells and mechanisms of repair. The interest in the application of laser therapy in medicine and dentistry has remarkably increased in the last decade. There are different types of lasers available and their usage is well defined by different parameters, such as: wavelength, energy density, power output, and duration of radiation. Laser irradiation can induce a photobiomodulatory (PBM) effect on cells and tissues, contributing to a directed modulation of cell behaviors, enhancing the processes of tissue repair. Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), can induce cell proliferation and enhance stem cell differentiation. Laser therapy is a non-invasive method that contributes to pain relief and reduces inflammation, parallel to the enhanced healing and tissue repair processes. The application of these properties was employed and observed in the treatment of various diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, brain injury, spinal cord damage, dermatological conditions, oral irritation, and in different areas of dentistry.

“…This is widely used in orthodontics, periodontology, implantology, and prosthodontics. [15][16][17][18] Knowing the amount of the keratinized attached gingiva, the orthodontist can assess the risk of gingival recession and future problems in the treatment process, especially during proclination and labial bodily movements. 16 Thus, the orthodontic treatment is safer and gingival recession can be avoided.…”

“…[15][16][17] In implantology, the thickness of tissue plays a key role in the long-term stability of the dental implant. 18 Accumulating evidence indicates that the atrophy of the buccal bone is lower when the attached gingiva is thicker. [19][20][21] Gingival thickness determines the method of preparation of the prosthetic crowns.…”

Background. Successful periodontal and implant surgery as well as orthodontic treatment often depends on gingival and mucosal thickness. So far there has been no generally accepted protocol of measuring the thickness of gingiva by non-invasive methods.Objectives. The aim of the study was to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility (%R&R) of the 20 MHz A-Scan ultrasonic device in measuring gingival thickness (GT) in the mucogingival complex. Material and methods.A 2-stage study utilizing non-invasive ultrasonic methods was conducted. In the 1st stage, 3 operators got calibrated by measuring previously established GT in porcine cadaver jaws. In the 2nd stage, 1 periodontally healthy subject was recruited in the study. Three operators performed the measurements of GT in maxillary left central and lateral incisors and canines, using the 20 MHz A-Scan ultrasonic device with a probe of 1.7 mm in diameter. The thickness was measured in 4 standardized points located in the free gingiva (FGT), supracrestal gingiva (SGT), crestal gingiva (CGT) and the mucosa (MGT).Results. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was used to quantify %R&R. The repeatability and reproducibility of the measurements was 8.4%. Interobserver reproducibility varied from 0.8% to 13.4%. The average intraobserver coefficient of variation (CV) was 6.6% (1.9-13.6%). The median of the reproducibility of all measurements was 8.1 %. Nevertheless, the median of CV was variable to the observer, i.e. 5.4%, 6.5%, 6.4%. Conclusions.The obtained results in %R&R prove the good recognition of methodology as well as the usefulness of the device. Non-invasive ultrasonic biometer GT measurements are crucial in periodontology as well as in other fields of dentistry.

“…The progress that has been made in the recent years in the field of dentistry enables more proficient and safer work, as well as a predictable treatment outcomes [1][2][3]. One of the brand-new technologies is a laser that is becoming more and more popular in dental clinics and supports traditional forms of treatment while replacing classic technologies [4][5][6][7][8][9]. The Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Er: YAG) laser presents several advantages over a conventional bur preparation [10].…”

Background: Recently, the defects of the tooth surface in the cervical region are often restored using composite filling materials. It should meet the needs of the patients regarding esthetics and material stability. The aim of the study was to analyze the tooth root surface at the cervical region after the removal of the composite filling material by means of the Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Er: YAG) laser or drill using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy. Materials and Methods: For the purposes of this study, 14 premolar teeth (n = 14) were removed due to orthodontic reasons. The rectangular shape cavities with 3 mm in width and 1.5 mm in height were prepared with a 0.8 mm bur on high-speed contra-angle in the tooth surface just below cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and filled with the composite material. The composite material was removed with the Er: YAG laser at a power of 3.4 W, energy 170 mJ, frequency 20 Hz, pulse duration 300 μs, tip diameter 0.8 mm, air/fluid cooling 3 mL/s, and time of irradiation: 6 sec, at a distance from teeth of 2 mm (G1 group, n = 7) or a high-speed contra-angle bur (G2 group, n = 7). After the removal of composite material, the surfaces of teeth were examined using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy. Results: The Er: YAG irradiation allowed to remove completely the composite material from the tooth cavity. The study confirmed, that the ends of collagen fibers were only partially denatured after the Er: YAG laser application. Conclusion: It has been proved that using the Er: YAG laser is an effective and safe method of composite removal for the dentin surface.
