摘要
While there are many applications of lasers in dentistry, few have advantages over existing technology. To date, lasers should be considered to be an adjunct to conventional techniques. There are also considerations of cost and rapid obsolescence of current laser equipment. The possible adverse effects of lasers on the tissues adjacent to those being irradiated, to users and to patients must also be considered.
