| Popis: | Surgical lasers have been well accepted by all disciplines of healing arts as useful adjunct to care of patients. The attitude toward their use has changed from one of "gee-whiz" appreciation for modern technology to that of acceptance of lasers as standard surgical instruments. The applications of Laser technology in dentistry and medicine have now entered the age of sophisticated and rational treatment. This presentation is an attempt to distil our experience with the patients in various periodontal soft and hard tissue procedures such as biopsies, frenectomies, white lesions, vesicullobulous lesions, preprosthetic surgery and dentinal hypersensitivity with the use of Carbon dioxide laser. Laser device used for all intra oral procedures in the presentation is LASERSAT TM Carbon dioxide Laser Manufactured by SATELAC R . Dental Laser safety and protection protocol was strictly followed. All patients responded well to Laser treatment with complete healing of lesions with no post operative complications. No recurrence of any lesion was reported at follow up visits. Lasers have become an integral part of periodontal surgeons′ armamentarium. They have proved to be useful as adjunct to conventional treatment modalities in various soft and hard tissue intraoral procedures with better patient acceptance. |
