Fewer Postoperative Complications:
Use of soft-tissue lasers in dentistry has proven advantageous for many reasons. First, there is reduced incidence of bacteria and viral secondary infections. Nerves are depolarized, so there is less post-surgical discomfort. Improved hemostasis at the surgical site helps to reduce postoperative swelling and residual damage to collateral tissues. Lymphatics are activated by the laser, so there is a reduced need for post-surgical dressings. Additionally, healing is less eventful, with fewer complications or prescriptions, and medically compromised patients can be treated more safely.
