Abstract

There is limited clinical information regarding the efficacy and safety of laser treatment in endodontics and dentistry. This comprehensive literature review discusses the clinical efficacy, advantages and limitations of laser use in these fields. Carbon dioxide (CO₂), diode, erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er: YAG), Er, Chromium (Cr): YAG, and neodymium (Nd): YAG lasers have been used in endodontic treatments. Laser technology has revolutionised endodontic treatment by enhancing disinfection, promoting healing, facilitating root canal treatment, improving canal shaping and decreasing pain associated with endodontic treatments. General dental care has improved by laser advancements in drilling, preparing cavities, reshaping the gingiva, teeth bleaching, addressing periodontal disease and diagnosis. Their high precision results in minimal disruption of adjacent tissues, which in turn minimises bleeding, decreases patient discomfort, and accelerates recovery times. Further clinical randomised studies are required to compare laser treatments with conventional methods, particularly in the context of cost-effectiveness.

激光在牙髓治疗中的应用综述

关于激光治疗牙髓学和牙科的有效性和安全性的临床信息有限。本文综述了激光在这些领域的临床疗效、优点和局限性。二氧化碳（CO2）、二极管、掺铒钇铝石榴石（Er: YAG）、铒、铬（Cr）： YAG和钕（Nd）： YAG激光器已被用于牙髓治疗。激光技术通过加强消毒、促进愈合、促进根管治疗、改善根管成形和减少与根管治疗相关的疼痛，彻底改变了根管治疗。一般的牙科护理已经改善了激光钻孔，准备腔，重塑牙龈，牙齿漂白，解决牙周病和诊断的进步。它们的高精度导致对邻近组织的破坏最小，从而最大限度地减少出血，减少患者的不适，并加快恢复时间。需要进一步的临床随机研究来比较激光治疗与传统方法，特别是在成本效益方面。

期刊介绍： The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues. The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses. The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
