Abstract

The use of LASERs becomes getting more common in dentistry due to the availability of different systems. However, application of LASERs within the field of periodontics has created confusion regarding the use of LASERs. Hence the aim of this study is to review concept of application, advantages, disadvantages and clinical applications of LASERs within the field periodontics. Methods: A narrative review was undertaken by the author on LASERs in periodontics by searching Google scholar, Saudi digital library and PubMed data bases for publications on LASERs in periodontics. After reviewing the full text articles information on LASERs was reported. Results: A LASER device consists of several components and acts by different mechanisms such as Photothermal ablation, photomechanical ablation and photochemical effect. LASER application has many advantages when all the safety precautions were followed carefully. LASER technology has wide spread clinical application within the field of periodontics. Conclusion: There is a need to develop an evidence based method for the application of LASERs in the field of Periodontics. With continuously developing LASER technologies in the field of periodontics may require comprehensive information about the Lasers, and special expertise in the field.
