This article describes the principles of laser operation and the clinical application of laser technology in the different fields of dentistry. It discusses the use of the Er:YAG laser in restorative dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and periodontics, as well as the introduction of a new side-firing spiral tip for efficient cleaning of the root canal system by means of lateral laser irradiation. Although the Er:YAG laser is used mostly on enamel and dentin, the gingival depigmentation procedure using this laser also is described. Clinical applications of the CO2 and diode lasers on soft tissues, particularly in the fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery and perodontics, are explained. Because teeth whitening for esthetic reasons has gained increasing popularity in dentistry, the application of diode lasers for this purpose is discussed. All the dental laser procedures described in this article are conducted at the Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Dental Medicine and are further investigated in various clinical research projects.
本文介绍了激光操作原理以及激光技术在牙科不同领域的临床应用。它讨论了铒激光在修复牙科、儿童牙科和牙周病学中的应用，以及一种新型侧向发射螺旋尖端的引入，该尖端通过侧向激光照射有效清洁根管系统。尽管铒激光主要用于牙釉质和牙本质，但也描述了使用该激光进行牙龈色素沉着去除的操作过程。解释了二氧化碳激光和二极管激光在软组织上的临床应用，特别是在口腔颌面外科和牙周病学领域。由于出于美观原因牙齿美白在牙科中越来越受欢迎，因此讨论了二极管激光在此方面的应用。本文所述的所有牙科激光操作均在希伯来大学-哈达萨牙科学院进行，并在各种临床研究项目中进一步研究。
