Diode Laser Therapy
Diode lasers are used in dental hygiene to reduce bacteria and promote healing. They can be used in a variety of procedures, including laser bacterial reduction (LBR) and laser-assisted periodontal therapy.
Bactericidal effect
The laser's light energy inactivates bacteria by raising tissue temperatures.
Access to hard-to-reach areas
The laser can reach areas that are difficult to access with traditional instruments.
Gum tissue stimulation
The laser can stimulate gum tissue, which can promote healing and regeneration.
Benefits of diode lasers:
Reduced risk of infection: By eliminating harmful bacteria, the laser can reduce the risk of infection.
Healthier Gums: The laser can reduce inflammation and promote healthier gums.
Reduced microbes in aerosols: The laser can reduce microbes in aerosols by decontaminating pockets.
Painless: The laser is painless and quick.
Laser-assisted periodontal therapy
LBR is a procedure that combines scaling, root planing, and sulcular debridement with laser therapy. The laser is swept just below the gingival margin to reduce subgingival bacteria.
