Opis

A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The term "laser" originated as an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". Lasers have revolutionized dental treatment since three and a half decades of the twentieth century. Theodore Maiman in 1960 invented the ruby laser, since then laser is one of the most captivating technologies in dental practice. Lasers have been used in initial periodontal therapy, oral surgical procedures, and also in implant treatment. Practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery has included the use of lasers since the mid- 1960s. Laser systems and their application in dentistry and especially oral surgery are rapidly improving today.
