Abstract:
Laser technology has emerged as a transformative tool in modern dentistry, offering precision, efficiency, and enhanced healing capabilities in periodontal and prosthodontic treatments. This abstract explores the significant impact of laser-assisted therapies on the management of periodontal diseases and the fabrication of dental prostheses. Laser therapy in periodontics involves various applications, including soft tissue management, decontamination of periodontal pockets, and promotion of tissue regeneration. Similarly, in prosthodontics, lasers are utilized for precise tissue sculpting, implant site preparation, and accelerated healing around dental implants. The integration of lasers into periodontal and prosthodontic practice has led to improved treatment outcomes, reduced patient discomfort, and enhanced esthetic results. This abstract highlights the transformative potential of laser-assisted healing in periodontal and prosthodontic treatments, emphasizing the need for further research and clinical integration to maximize its benefits for patients.
