Low-power laser therapy in the treatment of parodontopathy

Abstract

<zakljucak> Zahvaljujuci opisanim terapijskim efektima, laseri male snage deluju na biolosko tkivo, prvenstveno antiinflamacijski, ali i stimulativno na reparacijske i regeneracijske procese u inflamiranoj gingivi. Zbog toga se laseri danas primenjuju kao dopunska, veoma uspesna, fizikalna metoda lecenja, koja, uz tradicionalnu periodontalnu terapiju, daje bolje rezultate lecenja i utice na duze odrzavanje postignutih terapijskih rezultata.

824 - The use of lasers in restorative dentistry: truths and myths

“…This means that only one application has not shown beneficial results. It must be applied in several sessions [7][8][9].…”

“…Particularly in restorative dentistry, there are many indications for high power lasers; for example, in dental erosions, in reconstitution of the canine guides, final removal of carious tissue (with the benefit to the conservative dentistry), in dentin hypersensitivity, in microbial reduction, the conditioning of enamel and dentin for adhesive systems [4,5], internal conditioning of prosthetic ceramic pieces, prior to permanent luting (lasers Er: YAG and Er, Cr: YSGG) [6] and caries prevention in pits and fissures. The low power laser can be used after cavity preparation in order to reduce post-operative sensitivity and microbial reduction after cavity preparation, combining a photosensitizing agent to low power laser or LED (photodynamic therapy); also, in aesthetic procedures in maintaining periodontal health [7][8][9].…”
