Advanced Applications of the Er:YAG Laser in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Lasers are becoming widely used in medicine and dentistry due to their beneficial effects such as: coagulation properties (less postoperative bleeding), less pain and edema. Lasers also allow good and rapid healing, a very low level of discomfort both during and after intervention and a rapid disappearance of symptoms.Laser technology has certain advantages such as accuracy of the incision, absence of vibration and manual pressure during use ; this is also true for Er: YAG laser application. Due to laser positive coagulation effects during surgical procedure, better sight of the work field is obtained.Lasers have played an integral part in the evolution of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) ; and rapidly became the standard of care for many procedures performed by oral surgeons.The reason for this transition is simple: many procedures can be executed more efficiently and with less morbidity using lasers when compared with scalpel, electrocautery or high frequency devices.Laser surgery has emerged as an established method in advanced medicine. Laser- induced remote tissue treatment provides a number of advantages: controllable coagulation and cutting of surgical tissues with wavelength tissue-specific cutting efficiency.
