3. Laser is an acronym which stands for Light
implication By Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Light shows disc players
Device that converts electrical / Chemical energy into
light energy .
In Introduction
4. Light
Implication by the Stimulated.
Emission of
Radiation .
Fundamental of laser .
5. Farm of electromagnetic energy .
Properties of Laser .
Monochromatic .
Collimation .
Coherency .
L- Light
6. Monochromatic – characterized by radiation in which
all waves are of same frequency and wavelength .
Collimated : all the emitted waves are parallel and the
beum divergence is very low .
This property is very important for good transmission
through delivery Systems.
7. Coherency : Is a single or just a few frequencies going
in one precise direction .
A – Implication
Intense beam of light can be created . The Laser may
be activated by a few photons which than act to
produce many more , and initial light generated is
computed to make a very bright compact beam.
8. If an atom in the excited state is struck by a photon of
identical energy as the photon to be emitted , the
emission could be stimulated to occur earlier than
would occur spontaneously .
This stimulated interaction causes two photons that
are identical that are identical in frequency and
wavelength to leave the atom.
S-Stimulated E-Emission
9. A laser medium or active medium-solid liquid or gas .
Housing tube or optical cavity .
External power source-pumps .
Laser Design
10. Based on wave length
A soft laser B- Hard
laser
Based on the type of active lasing medium used .
ArF exrimer , KrF excimer , XeCL excimer , Argon ion ,
Nd . YAG , Er : YAG , CO2 .
Laser types
11. Four different interaction
Reflection .
Scatter .
Absorption .
Transmission .
Laser interaction with biologic
tissues
13. No anesthesia , no drill .
Less blood loss , less pain .
Reduce post-operative edema .
Early healing , rapid regeneration , reduce post
sensitive in restorations .
Less chances of metastasis .
Sterilization of treatment site- no infection.
Advantages
14. Fill cavities located between teeth .
Cavities around old filling or silver fillings and large
cavaties . (Crown).
Remove definition crown or silver fillings .
Prepare for bridges .
Laser- more expensive .
Disadvantages
15. Prevention of caries
Detection of incipient caries .
Cavity preparation .
Enamel etching .
De sensitization.
Pulpotony
Removed of old restoration –gold , ceramic.
Root canal therapy .
T.M.J treatment:
Reduce pain and inflammation .
Hard tissues
16. Frenectomy
Toney tie
Incisional and excisional biopsies .
Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia .
Aphthous ulcer .
Removed of malignant lesions .
Operculectomy .
Implants – Stage II – at the time of recovery .
Soft tissues
17. A gingivectomy is a periodontal surgery that removes
and reforms and reforms diseased gum tissue or
other gingival built up.
Performed in a dentist's office , the surgery is
primarily done one quadrant of the mouth at the time
under anesthetic .
Co2 laser with wavelength of 10.600 nm .
Laser gingivectomy
18. The small flexible fiber-optic hand pieces or tip must
be steam sterilized in sterilizing pouches .
Use of protective wear .
Use of screen & curtain should be promoted .
Use of proper clothing .
Use of anti fire explosive .
Proper training and causes .
Laser hazard control measures
19. Laser – alternative to conventional surgical Systems .
Laser are “a new and different scalped” (optical Knife
, light scalped ) .
