Abstract

LASER technology has sneaked into our lifestyle through varied areas ranging from communications, entertainment, electronics, medicine and so on. Dentistry being an allied branch of medicine is no different. Although having wide application in the field dentistry there is relatively less knowledge amongst the practitioners pertaining to the physics and the working mechanisms behind its application. This review article will bring the specifications and reasons behind the use of LASER technology pertaining to Dentistry.
