  1. Dental therapy: uses and applications In recent years the laser is taking a special role in dental consultations, in view of its versatility and the new therapeutic applications that are being found for it, although quite of them are still in the experimental stage. Basically, it can be said that the laser function focuses on cutting by thermal ablation, that is, by heat. Currently, two types of laser are used in dentistry. The most pioneering, the diode laser is used to act on soft tissues, such as the gums or mucous membranes. The most recent, that of erbium, also adds the possibility of being used in hard tissues, as is the case of the tooth or bone for Emergency Laser Teeth Whitening.

It seems that strong lasers allow the sealing of the dentinal tubule, while others act on the osteoblasts and the pulp. Orofacial pain: reduces muscle pain by stimulating the production of endogenous opioids. Caries: only has some utility in small caries. Bone bio- stimulation: this is another possible future indication: the stimulation of the osseointegration process in the placement of dental implants. Paresthesia: it seems to reactivate the sensitivity of the nerve to the loss of sensitivity in some area of the face. Orthodontics: it is still in the research phase but it seems that the lower frequencies accelerate the movement of the teeth towards the desired position, while the high frequencies slow it down.
