The use of laser physiotherapy has been documented to reduce pain during tooth movement and to increase the speed of tooth movement. Low-dose lasers can speed up tooth movement, but high-dose lasers can reduce tooth movement. The latter case may be more suitable for consolidating the effect after orthodontic treatment is completed.
980nm diode laser can be safely used in some implant treatments, but its cutting depth, cutting speed and cutting efficiency are limited. The main advantage of diode laser is its small size and low price and cost.
With the development of science and technology and the medical industry, high-energy laser therapy has gradually attracted the attention of many veterinarians, and laser therapy has also successfully helped many animals with intervertebral disc herniation to stand up again, even with the advantages of easy operation, no pain, and no side effects. Become a "good helper" for veterinarians in the treatment of intervertebral disc disease.
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMt) has been developed since the first generation of lasers in 1960 and has been widely used in pain relief, inflammation regulation and wound healing. It is understood that about 20% of pet hospitals in North America use lasers for clinical treatment to achieve the purpose of regulating inflammation and accelerating healing.
Laser use continues to expand into the medical and dental fields, and patients are increasingly seeking out such treatment because it is perceived as less invasive and less traumatic than traditional methods. Laser surgical treatments have also shown fewer postoperative complications and faster, uneventful healing when compared to traditional surgical techniques.
One clear advantage of diode laser over the use of a scalpel or tissue punch is the ability to provide simultaneous cutting and coagulation (hemostasis). This has a further benefit of allowing immediate impressions to be taken without site bleeding affecting the accuracy of the capture of the soft-tissue contours and position.
