Aim: To review the application of Lasers in Oral and Maxillofacial surgeries and the advantage of using them. Background: The term LASER refers to Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Recent advances in both soft tissue and hard tissue laser technology have brought a revolution in the field of dentistry. The applications of lasers play a vital role in modern surgical procedures. Lasers use high energy photons at controlled wavelengths to heat or ablate biological tissue thereby making the procedures painless. Lasers are important in ablative, reconstructive and aesthetic surgical procedures. Objective:There are many variations in the types of lasers used in oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures starting from a regular tooth extraction to removal of malignant tumours. With the advent of newer technologies, it has become imperative for dentists to become familiar with these developing modern techniques. The use of lasers in oral and maxillofacial surgery has seen a substantial increase for performing various surgical procedures at ease. Also the number of surgeons opting to use them on a regular basis is increasing day by day. Conclusion: This article serves to update practitioners on the development and current applications of this modern tool in regular practice and efficiently perform dental treatment and also reviews the applications of laser technology used in various oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures by giving a detailed idea on the availability, evolution, types and the significance of the use of lasers in dentistry.
