Laser treatment

The laser beam is a high-energy beam of light of a specific wavelength that has an effect on tissue structures.
On the one hand, the laser beam has a disinfecting or sterilizing effect, and on the other hand it has a haemostatic or coagulating effect.
This can be used in dentistry for surgical treatments, in periodontology and in endodontics (root canal treatment).
Unfortunately, this modern treatment is not normally covered by either statutory or private health insurance.
In surgery, incisions can be made without bleeding.
The wound can heal more quickly after the surgical procedure.
This is particularly recommended when shortening the frenulum, which is usually performed on children.
With the laser device, the procedure is completely bloodless and therefore much more comfortable for children.
The laser beam can be used to disinfect the resection cavity during root tip resection.
Laser treatment can be used as a supplementary measure in periodontology.
It is important that conventional gum treatment is carried out first.
With the help of the laser beam, the number of bacteria in the gum pockets can be reduced even more effectively.
The laser beam also reduces the sensitivity of the teeth.
The disinfecting effect of the laser is also used in endodontics.
The purpose of endodontic treatment is to seal the tooth against bacteria.
To do this, all bacteria should be removed from the canals beforehand if possible.
This is attempted with rinsing and preparation of the tooth.
With the laser device, the bacteria inside the tooth can be combated even more effectively.
