Laser application in oral surgery

The increasing use of laser in oral surgery has led to undoubted operative advantages and a better quality of the outpatient operation compered with electro- and coldblade bistoury. Dental laser allows to obtain a more precise incision, a better recovery, bleeding reduction, shorter working times, post-operative edema reduction, lack of pain, wound sterility and a more aesthetic cicatricial process. It produces also a biostimulation of those cells involved in the recovery process reducing so the recovery times. It has a decontaminating effect of the germs present in the root channels, of parodontis and of the lesions caused by virus, bacteria or mushrooms.
