Laser Dentistry and Digital Dentistry

Laser dentistry is the area of dentistry that uses lasers to treat patients' various dental ailments. In 1989, laser dentistry was first made a commercially viable option. It began with a laser-assisted dental tissue surgery. Traditional metal dental instruments frequently abrade the gums while being used, which makes it possible for infections to develop. This is not done by lasers. Lasers, on the other hand, work to sterilise the region on which they are focused, killing the majority of the bacteria there Hard tissue lasers can aid dentists in disinfecting root canals, removing tooth decay, and cleaning the "smear" layer from dental roots. The Nd:YAG laser, carbon dioxide lasers, and diode lasers are three popular laser types utilised in dentistry.

In contrast to employing mechanical or electrical tools, Digital dentistry refers to the use of dental technologies or devices that incorporate digital or computer-controlled components. Both for restorative and diagnostic purposes, adopting digital dentistry can make dental procedures more effective than using mechanical instruments. Utilizing dental equipment or technology with computer-based or digital components is known as "digital dentistry." On the other hand, conventional dental media employ mechanical or electrical techniques. The use of computer-based technology allows dental offices to improve patient care even further.
