What is Laser and is it safe?
Laser is briefly named from the initials of the words Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It can also be expressed as a focused and regular beam.
This system, which has the approval of the American Health Organization – FDA, is widely used in countries such as America and Japan. FDA approval has a feature that proves worldwide that complete and safe treatment can be provided to individuals from babies to all age groups.
What are the Advantages of the Laser Beam with its Unique Features?
Among the numerous benefits that the application provides to the patient and physician, the most important are;
- It provides a much more hygienic, healthier and wider treatment range than existing treatment systems,
- It creates a very fast recovery time,
- It provides patient comfort and a pleasant treatment environment as it eliminates anesthesia and needles in most cases,
- Increases trust in the physician and treatment,
- During surgical procedures, no bleeding occurs, the area is sterilized and the risk of infection after the procedure is no longer a problem.
- Healthy tissue loss is prevented,
- Root canal treatment cleaned with laser lasts longer,
- Session times are shortened and the ability to perform multiple operations without any problems increases,
- Treatment of oral and tooth sensitivity and similar complex problems can be seen immediately,
- Implant (screw-retained teeth) applications are performed very easily and without any problems with laser.
With Soft Tissue Surgery;
- For support in cleaning cysts at the root tip,
- Root canal treatment and sterilization,
- Gum infection treatment,
- Extending the length of teeth by cutting the gums for aesthetic and cosmetic purposes,
- Tongue and lip tie cuts,
- Removing black discoloration due to hyperpigmentation in the gums,
- Removal of epulis formed due to poorly fitting prostheses,
- In gum cleaning operations, treatments to remove infected tissues are successfully performed using laser.
If we briefly talk about the benefits of low energy level lasers;
- Increasing new cell production (regeneration),
- Increasing blood circulation and new vessel formation in the irradiated area,
- Strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect,
- Lymphatic circulation enhancing, edema resolving effect,
- Increased ability of white blood cells, which have an important role in body defense, to eat microbes (phagocytosis),
- Increase in the synthesis of immunoglobulins, which are also important in defense, effect on relieving muscle spasm,
- Increasing blood production by stimulating the bone marrow,
- Accelerating fracture healing,
- Increasing regeneration in damaged nerves,
- Increasing nerve conduction.
- Virus-killing effect,
- It has very regulatory effects on increasing cellular energy (ATP) synthesis and membrane permeability.
In this way, with low energy level laser;
- Wound healing treatments after tooth extractions,
- Trigeminal Neuralgia treatment,
- Treatment of paraesthesia (numbness) and hyperesthesia (extreme sensitivity) that occur in the mental area or tongue after the age of 20 or after the implant,
- Alveolitis treatment, Facial paralysis treatment, Treatment of oral aphtha and ulcers,
- Treatment of pain and mouth opening restrictions due to teeth clenching or trauma in the jaw joint, Acceleration of osteointegration (fusion) during the healing phase after implant surgery,
- Acceleration of wound healing as a result of all types of oral surgery is effectively achieved.
