The laser promises a wide range of uses in dentistry, and patient acceptance has been demonstrated in opinion surveys. The laser has been studied for many years by respected researchers. While many advantages have been presented, the literature indicates that pulpal effects, possible hazards of inhaling the vapor emitted by the laser procedure, and the control of the laser beam reflection are some of the concerns that warrant further investigation.
