Many types of dental lasers are currently available that can be efficiently used for soft and hard tissue applications in the field of orthodontics. For achieving the desired effects in the target tissue, knowledge of laser characteristics such as power, wavelength and timing, is necessary. Laser therapy is advantageous because it often avoids bleeding, can be pain free, is non-invasive and is relatively quick. The high cost is its primary disadvantage. It is very important to take the necessary precautions to prevent possible tissue damage when using laser dental systems. Here, we reviewed the main types and characteristics of laser systems used in dental practice and discuss the applications of lasers in orthodontics, harmful effects and laser system safety.
目前有多种类型的牙科激光可供使用，它们能有效地用于正畸领域的软组织和硬组织治疗。为了在目标组织中实现预期效果，了解诸如功率、波长和时间等激光特性是必要的。激光治疗具有优势，因为它通常能避免出血、无痛、无创且相对快速。其主要缺点是成本高昂。使用牙科激光系统时采取必要的预防措施以防止可能的组织损伤非常重要。在此，我们回顾了牙科实践中使用的激光系统的主要类型和特性，并讨论了激光在正畸中的应用、有害影响以及激光系统的安全性。
