Abstract

Introduction of Lasers into the field of clinical dentistry helped in overcoming some of the drawbacks posed by the conventional methods of dental procedures. Since its first use for dental application in the 1960s, it has evolved rapidly in the last couple of decades. At present, wide varieties of procedures are carried out using lasers. The purpose of this review is to describe laser use in dental procedures. Lasers are found to be effective in cavity preparation, caries removal, restoration removal, etching, and treatment of dentinal sensitivity, caries prevention and bleaching. Based on development in adhesive dentistry and the propagation of minimum intervention principles, lasers may revolutionize cavity design and preparation.  

Key words: Laser; Dental tissue; Adhesive dentistry.
