Laser technology has changed dental practice through accuracy, minimal invasiveness, and greater patient comfort. It is applied in different procedures, including the removal of cavities, reshaping the gums, and the treatment of periodontal disease. Advantages include less pain, quicker healing, and reduced use of anesthesia. Recent advances in technology, such as erbium and diode lasers, have enhanced the outcome of treating hard and soft tissues. Though there are challenges like being expensive and requiring special training, the future of laser dentistry looks bright, with a lot of possibilities
for further application in preventive treatments, early disease diagnosis, and more effective treatments, leading to improved patient experiences and improved quality of care.
