LASER in Periodontology

The laser is an oscillator of light using an amplification process based on stimulated emission from atoms in an optical resonator. Laser light has a narrow spectral width with a high degree of spatial coherence. The handbook provides an understanding of laser physics, its safety, and laser-tissue interaction. The laser beam is unidirectional, focuses on the tiny spot. The book deals with the history and classification of laser and its application in nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Laser applications in implant and various fields of dentistry are highlighted in the text with the detailed role of laser in surgical periodontal therapy. The writing lays great emphasis on low-level laser therapy with its application in Periimplantitis. LASER is truly a "magical" light in Periodontology.
