【 摘 要 】

Lasers were introduced into the field of clinical dentistry with the hope of overcoming some of the drawbacks posed by the conventional methods of dental procedures. Since its first experiment for dental application in the 1960s, the use of laser has increased rapidly in the last couple of decades. At present, wide varieties of procedures are carried out using lasers. The aim of this review is to describe the application of lasers in various fields of dentistry. Based on recent advancements and the propagation of minimum intervention principles, lasers may revolutionize various surgical & non surgical aspects of dentistry. This article describes how laser can be used for a variety of dental procedures such as cavity preparation, caries removal, restoration removal, etching, and treatment of dentinal sensitivity & management of soft tissue lesions. The fundamentals of laser physics and tissue interaction are explained.
