MANUAL OF DIODE LASER
IN DENTISTRY
AND STOMATOLOGY

The diode laser is a versatile and effective solution for oral tissue care.
The advantages are manifold such as: faster healing, reduced risk of infection, and post-operative complications. In addition, sessions are not stressful for patients due to their mini-invasiveness with reduced intraoperative and postoperative pain perception.
Thanks to these benefits, the use of the diode laser is spreading and opens up new treatment options in various areas of dentistry: from endodontics to periodontology; from oral surgery to aesthetic treatments such as teeth whitening.

On this website it is possible to access techniques and procedures video.
