Laser technologies are the evolution of the modern world. And laser technology in medicine is a leading stage in the development and improvement of numerous techniques and procedures in various fields. In dentistry, the laser has found many uses, and the result has surpassed itself! It is an indispensable daily aid in dental practice.
At the Medical Center Prizma, we use a Wiser diode laser of the Italian manufacturer Doctor Smile, whose work is performed according to programmed clinical protocols (all parameters, such as: power, time and operating mode, are set in device memory and presented in the form of 34 programs). If necessary, the programs can be adjusted by the doctor for each patient individually, depending on the characteristics of the clinical situation. Thanks to this, the laser can be used both as an alternative method and as an addition to traditional methods of treatment.
The advantages of a diode laser
Pain-free treatment. The main advantage is the possibility of non-contact treatment. The laser beam performs the task of dental instruments. As a result, tolerability of treatment can reduce the need for anesthesia for most operations. In most cases, anesthesia is not even required, except for the calmness of the patient himself.
Bactericidal, low-traumatic effect of the laser. After its application, there are no open wounds (that is, no bleeding) or stitches. In addition, the laser promotes rapid healing. It has a sterilizing and bactericidal effect — it destroys harmful microbes and bacteria, which ensures the absence of inflammatory processes.
Treatment with high precision — the device is distinguished by high, without exaggeration, jewelry precision. This allows dental intervention to be kept to a minimum. The wavelength of the laser beam in the DOCTOR SMILE WISER is selected so that the device acts only on the affected tissue. Healthy teeth and gums are not affected by it. Laser treatment reduces the number of visits to the doctor, and most procedures take much less time.

The laser is used to treat and disinfect root canals. This makes it possible to eliminate harmful microbes from the root canals and ensure 100% success of treatment in the future.
Periodontics.
The laser is a godsend for the treatment of patients with gum disease. It can be used to carry out many procedures, starting with biostimulation of the gums (restoring its density and metabolism) and ending with deep processing of periodontal pockets and damaged tissues (closed curettage and disinfection of periodontal pockets).
Surgical dentistry.
This is one of the leading directions for laser frequency. In almost every surgical procedure, the use of a laser is justified, since it has a bactericidal, bloodless, analgesic and quick-healing effect. — plastic surgery of the frenulum of the tongue and lips with a laser (frenulectomy) is the most common procedure, especially in children. -open curettage, flap operations, vestibuloplasty, gingivotomy, gingivectomy, cystectomy, hood excision, removal of neoplasms, treatment of peri-implantitis. And this is far from the entire spectrum of laser applications in surgery.

Prosthetic dentistry.
The laser is an assistant in the process of making aesthetic prosthetic work (crowns, veneers). With its help, you can clearly and painlessly correct the gum before taking the impression and before setting. Laser whitening Doctor Smile LWS is a separate cutting-edge area where the Wiser diode laser is used. It is an effective, safe and gentle method of teeth whitening with a pronounced and lasting result. During bleaching, the enamel is not only not damaged, but is additionally strengthened by increasing the microhardness of its structure after laser exposure. Also, laser radiation has bactericidal properties, due to which the procedure has a preventive effect on the teeth, protecting them from caries.
Pediatric dentistry.
The laser is a godsend when working with children. The non-contact beam, painlessness, speed of the procedure and the absence of bleeding and sutures make it possible to skillfully perform plastics of the frenulum of the tongue and lips before orthodontic treatment, if there are gaps between the front teeth.
