Since the advent of lasers, they have found tremendous application in all
fields of science. In recent times, lasers are viewed as an integral part of
many of the surgical and medical practices currently employed. Hence, it
becomes increasingly important to understand the rationale behind the use
of lasers so as to use them efficiently and without undue inhibitions. The
use of lasers in oral and maxillofacial surgery has seen a phenomenal
increase in both, applications of lasers for different techniques, and also the
number of surgeons opting to use them on a regular basis. This article serves
to update practitioners on the development and current applications of
these modern tools in regular practice so as to efficiently perform dental
treatment and minimize complications associated with conventional
techniques.
