Abstract:
Introducing laser light in prosthetic dentistry opens a new era on the treatment
modules with new impact in the quality of prosthodontics treatments,
with hope of overcoming some of the drawbacks posed by the conventional
methods of fixed prosthodontics procedures. Laser techniques cause less pain
than traditional methods and eliminate the noise of instrumentals that some
fearful patients who have long term neglected care and those have complex
medical histories and required more specialized care, could use the advantage
of laser in their treatment plan. The aim of the articles review is to highlight
the current and emerging application of laser in fixed prosthodontics treatment
to be used in conjunction or as replacement for traditional methods
based on the research that support the indication described.
