Research supports the use of the argon laser in dentistry. Used at powers of 250 mW +/- 50 mW for 10 seconds per increment, the argon laser provides good curing of light-activated restorative materials in a shorter period of time with equal or better physical properties as compared to the conventional halogen curing light. When used at approximately 1.5 W, it is a good soft tissue surgical instrument that cuts with little or no bleeding and minimal postoperative pain. The future looks bright for the use of the argon laser in other areas, such as decay prevention or pulpal treatments for primary teeth as well as an adjunct to endodontic therapy.
研究支持氩激光在牙科领域的应用。以每次增量250毫瓦±50毫瓦的功率使用，每次照射10秒，与传统卤素固化灯相比，氩激光能在更短时间内使光固化修复材料良好固化，且物理性能相同或更佳。当以约1.5瓦的功率使用时，它是一种很好的软组织手术器械，切割时几乎不出血或不出血，术后疼痛极小。氩激光在其他领域的应用前景广阔，如预防乳牙龋齿或进行乳牙牙髓治疗以及作为牙髓病治疗的辅助手段。
