Lasers in Periodontics

This book offers a comprehensive scientific review of the application of lasers in dentistry, with a focus on managing oral soft tissue conditions, root surface detoxification, and the treatment of chronic periodontitis. It systematically examines current research and clinical studies to provide a clear picture of where laser technology stands in routine periodontal and surgical care.For oral soft tissue problems-such as gingival hyperplasia, fibromas, and oral mucosal lesions-the book discusses how lasers provide a minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgery. The precision and ability to minimize bleeding and swelling help reduce patient discomfort and promote faster healing. Different laser types, each with unique properties, are evaluated for their effectiveness in tissue ablation, coagulation, and sterilization. The book emphasizes that while lasers offer significant benefits, their safe and effective use depends on operator expertise and adherence to evidence-based protocols.
