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.
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.
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.

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.
