Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) surgery uses an intensely hot, precisely focused beam of light to remove or vaporize tissue and control bleeding in a wide variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures.The ultimate goal of continous material research and development is to enhance the practice of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. As laser technology expands in other fields, clinicians, scientists and manufacturers will work to discover the uses and advances of lasers in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
