Laser, short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, can be best described as tubes that use pinpoint light beams to emit thermal energy, which allows the surgeon to cut precisely and more accurately in comparison to a surgical knife.
Lasers can be used to remove diseased tissues, make incisions for gum surgeries, and coagulate blood vessels while sterilizing the area.
During procedures such as gummy smile treatment and gum flap surgery, non-surgical laser tips are used to cut the tissues and coagulate blood vessels simultaneously, which ensures minimum to no bleeding.
