Abstract

Since the development of the ruby laser by Maiman in 1960, a variety of studies on the potential applications of lasers in dentistry have been conducted. Many applications like computer aided design and rapid prototyping technology, and study of occlusion in complete dentures using three-dimensional laser scanner have been developed. Its applications range from fixed Prosthodontics to treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity to surface treatment of base metal alloys. Today it even extends to the fields of dental implantology and maxillofacial Prosthodontics. This article reviews and summarises various studies of the laser applications in Prosthodontics.
