Are Laser Dental Procedures Better Than Traditional Treatments?


Dental laser is the use of lasers to treat a number of different dental conditions. It became commercially used in clinical dental practice for procedures involving tooth tissue in 1989.

Dental laser potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue compared to drills and other non-laser tools.

Lasers can make dental treatments more efficient, cost effective, and comfortable. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved dental laser as a treatment option for several dental conditions.

The type of surgery that can be performed with a dental laser depends on the wavelength and power of the dental laser. Pioon dental laser can perform the following dental laser procedures. Including:

  1. Teeth whitening.

  2. Treating cold sores.

  3. Treating a “gummy smile.”

  4. Treating obstructive sleep apnea.

  5. Treating tongue frenulum attachment.

  6. Viewing tissues.

  7. Nerve regeneration. 

  8. Crown lengthening.

  9. Removing benign tumors.

  10. Removing soft tissue folds.

  11. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) treatment.


 Compared to non-laser treatment, they may be less expensive because the laser treatment is usually completed in fewer sessions.


Soft tissue lasers can be absorbed through water and hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells.

These lasers are used to treat periodontitis, including killing bacteria and activating tissue regrowth.

Soft tissue lasers seal nerve endings and blood vessels while they penetrate the tissue. For this reason, many experience almost no pain after laser treatment. The lasers also promote faster healing of the tissue.

Benefits of using dental laser over other methods

  1. There is potentially a decreased need for sutures with soft tissue lasers.

  2. Bleeding is minimized in treated soft tissues, as the laser promotes blood clotting.

  3. With some procedures, anesthesia is unnecessary.

  4. The chance for bacterial infections is lower because the laser sterilizes the area.

  5. Wounds can heal faster, and it’s possible for tissue to regenerate.

  6. The procedures may involve less damage to the surrounding tissues.

PLDD-Let your intervertebral disc no longer “protrude”

图片
  Patients with   intervertebral  disc herniation are mostly between 30 and 50 years old, and there are more men than women. The most common site is the lumbar spine, followed by the cervical spine (because these two sites are the sites with greater spine mobility). Lumbar disc herniation is a frequently-occurring and common disease in clinical practice, and it is the most common cause of low back and leg pain. The disease mostly occurs in young adults, and part of it occurs in the elderly. The patient suffers a lot. In severe cases, it can cause paraplegia, which can have a great impact on the life, work and labor of the patient. The cause of lumbar disc herniation is more complicated. At present, it is generally believed that the herniated disc is mainly caused by corresponding damage on the basis of degeneration. Internal cause: The intervertebral disc tissue bears the weight of the human body's trunk and upper limbs, and is more likely to be strained than other tissues in daily

Lip Depigmentation with Laser

图片
  Oral Mucosa is normally pink, although the color varies depending on location, function and underlying structures. Lips are an important part of our smiles; the shape and color are crucial elements of the lip's beauty. The color of the lips normally varies from person to person depending on factors such as melanin production, skin color, vascularity, and dryness (dehydration) of the lips. Among these, the major factor contributing to the color of lips is melanin.  Lip hyperpigmentation  does not pose any medical problem, but usually considered unaesthetic and can affect the patient’s social activities and self-confidence and patients are seeking solutions. Etiology - The most common cause is physiologic i.e. hyper-melanin pigmentation. After ruling out any malignant changes, the Laser is used electively for removing pigmentation from the lips. Treatment modality - Many techniques have been used for the treatment of lip depigmentation. Melanin pigmentation normally exists in the e
