Abstract
LASER stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Einstein was the ist to give the foundation for laser , however the first to give laser term was Gordon Gould. Invention of LASER has brought about a major revolution in the ways of life of people. The increasing use of laser in medicine has only been possible due to a better understanding of the interaction between laser light and living tissue. Reliably laser removes the needle, drill, and pain from the dental procedures & also reduces risk of contamination with respect to drills. Laser significantly reduces aerosols and Does not produce scratch material , thus causing less spread of debris outside the oral cavity. Blood free procedures for better recovery . Laser dentistry can be a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures. Dental laser can be used to generate both hard and soft tissue laser energy, depending upon the patient’s needs.

Summary
LASER stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light which is coherent. Cavity prepration – The advantages of the use of laser in cavity preparations and caries treatments are attractive due to the possibility to treat teeth without using anesthesia, the ability of this laser beam to disinfect the irradiated dentinal surfaces, its ability to remove more selectively decayed tissues and because of it is more accepted by phobic patients due to the absence of the use of a dental bur. There are many more applications of laser in dental sciences as like in Low Level Laser Therapy for hyposalivation , Optical diagnosis of cancer and potentially malignant lesions , Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in cancer patients , Recurrent aphthous ulcers management , use in Implantodontology , High power lasers in apical surgery ,etc. Dental lasers provides dental practices significant benefits for both hard and soft tissue procedures as compared to the traditional drill This all-tissue dental laser significantly reduces aerosols and splatter through less water flow and air pressure. Dentist can perform some of these treatments using the Laser with only the cooling water system and without air-spray, reducing the risk of aerosol contamination [37]
