LASER WHITENING- EFFECTS OF LASER ON TEETH

SUE FITZPATRICK

Laser is a word by which somehow you get to know that its impact is huge.The term emission in laser  is used because the radiation is non ionizing. Normal visible light which is having  different  wavelengths,is not  directional and not focused .It disperses quickly and does not deliver the  perfection  in showing power. So the result has been generated by using lots of energy. Laser light with a single  color having particular wavelength is highly focused and directed towards a point which  produces efficient energy.

The wavelengths required can be easily produced by lasers which are required  & is of high frequency which points to an exact location when required.The same energy can be supplied with low  power for a short  period of time,provided with an additional advantage of less heat and less  damage to the nearby tissues . Each  & every dental laser has a particular wavelength for specific medical treatments.Many individuals who use the  ‘laser whitening’ techniques  which are implemented now  for dental care  showing a positive interest towards this technology.

The laser, which we are talking about for the dental  care purpose is the argon laser. The  laser light which we are using  is a smart light, and I figured out that it could help the patients from intrinsic stains. The argon laser shows the absorption phenomenon &  a photochemical reaction starts with the gel  inside the mouth.  The bleaching gel we use is easily interact with the  used argon laser . This helps the laser light erode the spot molecules easily and the light source we are using does not emit  heat  so we can leave the gel around the teeth  for reacting which helps in complete whitening of teeth.  For this the ‘laser whitening’ technique is widely used.This argon laser has been certified for whitening of teeth.

Usage of laser technique involves some of the safety techniques for both the doctor & patient. A laser user must use the protective eyewear which is the important safety feature .The laser operator & the patient should wear a protective glass before starting a treatment. Each and every wavelength has a  requirement of eye wear.It has been suggested that the lasers used in offices must contain one safety officer. The safety officer should discuss all the safety factors with the staff. The laser safety officer should be trained in such a manner that he can manage any undesired situations occurred with the laser.

Some of the hard tissue & soft tissue can’t be removed by the argon laser. The lasers should be maintained well, so that it can work properly.  Professionals use the lasers safely, and  some of the particular instructors are trained in this professional  area. The laser used are very wavelength specific so that the ‘laser whitening’ technique which the dentist use must be very precise & specific.

Lastly the laser whitening treatment which has seen a significant increase in popularity due to the treatment only. The one hour treatment shows the results being effective and safer. This technique is now increasing day by day with a popularity among  many individuals.
