Low-level laser therapy is necessary to promote healing, reduce pain, or treat various dental conditions. This procedure involves applying low-intensity lasers to targeted areas of the oral cavity to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Laser therapy is particularly useful for treating conditions such as aphthous ulcers, periodontal disease, temporomandibular joint disorders, and post-surgical healing. The goal is to accelerate recovery and improve patient comfort.
Accelerating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain improves patient outcomes, enabling the patient to recover comfortably and resume normal activities. By addressing underlying conditions, the procedure prevents complications such as chronic pain, delayed healing, or infection. Additionally, it enhances the precision and control of treatment, allowing for targeted interventions with minimal side effects.
Ensure proper application to avoid thermal damage or ineffective treatment. Verify the wavelength, intensity, and duration of laser exposure based on the condition being treated. Use protective eyewear for both the patient and operator to prevent accidental exposure. Educate the patient on expected sensations and recovery, emphasizing the importance of following post-treatment care instructions.
