With dentistry in the high tech era, we are fortunate to have many technological innovations to enhance treatment, including intraoral video cameras, CAD-CAM units, RVGs and Air-abrasive units. However, no instrument is more representative of the term high-tech than the Laser. The rapid development of laser technology, as well as a better understanding of laser interaction with biological tissues, has widened the spectrum of possible applications of lasers in Conservative dentistry and Endodontics. This article reviews the basic mechanism and applications of each laser in conservative dentistry and endodontics.
