One of the most innovative technologies widely used in medicine, kind to tissue and excellent for healing, has only recently begun to make a significant dental impact. Dental lasers have been commercially available for several decades, but the profession has been slow to incorporate this technology into the practice. Lasers, extensively documented in the academic and clinical dental literature, have long been perceived by practitioners as too limited in intraoral applications, too complicated and too expensive.
