Clinical Application of Lasers in Dental Implants and Periodontics

Abstract

This book gives an insight to laser in periodontics and Implants in the present Covid-19 pandemic. This book provides information on the basic science and tissue interactions of dental lasers and documents the principal current clinical uses of lasers in the field of Periodontics and Implants. The applications of lasers in dental implantology, periodontal therapy is clearly described and illustrated. Also, a chapter on 'safety of lasers in covid pandemic' which is a new and emerging field for dental surgeons. The closing chapters look forward to the future of lasers in dentistry and the scope for their widespread use in everyday clinical practice. Lasers when used sensibly, this non- destructive approach has enabled many patients to benefit significantly at very low biological risk and reasonable financial cost. Laser Dentistry makes us free from the horrifying noise of drills, pain free treatment, minimal to no damage to the surrounding tissues and best of all the heat generated by laser kills all the bacteria, thus no chance of bacterial infections as well. When used in addition to or instead of conventional instrumentation, lasers offer many unique patient benefits. This book will bring the reader up to date with the latest advances and will appeal to all with an interest in the application of lasers in dental implantology and periodontology. This book is a conclusive proof of many research findings to present this information in a concise, easily referenced format to provide an overview of using lasers in the non-surgical and surgical treatment of dental Implants and periodontal disease. Dr. Ramesh Babu Mutthineni, Professor, life member of ESOLA, a renowned lecturer on this subject. The book covers the history of lasers in dentistry and laser research, plus the use of lasers in periodontics, periodontal surgery and implantology.
