The breakthrough for dental laser systems came in the mid 1990's. Among the various laser types with corresponding wavelengths, diode laser systems quickly began establishing themselves as compact, competitively priced and versatile additions to the dentist's repertoire, predominantly for performing soft tissue applications. The advantages of laser use include a relatively bloodless operating field, sterilization of the wound site, minimal swelling and scarring, reduction of surgical time and less postoperative pain to the patient. It should appeal to dental professionals seeking to optimize the procedures they currently perform and expand the number of services they offer.
