Preventing Gum Related Issues by Dental Laser

Introduction-
A bright, shining smile can give you confidence in your appearance and let you laugh with no reserves. But poor oral health can affect more than your smile. Oral health issues like cavities and untreated tooth decay could lead to periodontal disease. A study by the Journal of the American Heart Association found that the inflammation caused by periodontal disease can lead to an increased risk of heart disease.

Untreated Cavities and Heart Disease

If you let an untreated cavity live in your mouth for too long, it can lead to periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease causes your gums to recede from your teeth, which creates a gap beneath the gum line where bacteria can hide and grow.
From this gap, bacteria can enter your bloodstream and travel to your heart’s arteries. If the bacteria in your heart’s arteries harden, it can cause a condition called atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis causes plaque to grow on the inner walls of your heart’s arteries, which can restrict blood flow throughout the body. And restricted blood flow to and from your heart is the catalyst for heart disease.

Bleeding Gums and Endocarditis

Poor oral hygiene can also lead to a gum infection.
Infected gums can be red, sensitive, and may bleed during brushing, flossing, or during a dental cleaning.
This type of bleeding could trigger a rare but serious heart condition called endocarditis. Endocarditis develops when bacteria from infected gums spreads to the inner lining of the heart
Bacterial growths in your heart’s inner lining can prevent your heart’s valves from working properly. And when your valves aren’t working efficiently, you’re at a heightened risk of heart attack.
Along with practicing a good oral hygiene regiment at home, you can reduce your risk of endocarditis by telling your doctor or dentist about any health changes that could affect your heart health, including heart and blood complications or new medications.

How to prevent-

• Regular visit to Dentist.
• Oral health checkup every 6 months.
• Scaling (teeth cleaning) & flossing need to be done every 6 months.
• For sterilization and disinfection of resistant bacteria laser therapy (Bacterial Reduction by Dental Laser) should be given to patient once in 1 year of time.

Introduction-
Diode lasers have gained in popularity over the last few years in dental offices because of their low cost, portability, reliability and simplicity of use. Diode lasers range in wavelength from 810nm-1064nm, and they are well absorbed in hemoglobin, pigments, and melanin, making these lasers excellent soft tissue “handpieces” that can ablate tissues while maintaining hemostasis.
Many clinicians now see the diode laser as their replacement for electrosurgery, appreciating that the diode laser can work around metals (amalgam, gold, braces and dental implants) without fear of creating iatrogenic damage.

Moreover, diode lasers can be used within endodontic canals5-9 and periodontal pockets10-12 to reduce bacteria counts, whereas the electrosurgery unit cannot do this. In addition, two unique features of lasers (as compared to monopolar electrosurgical units) are that they require less-anesthetic for small amounts of tissue are removed and can be used for patients with pacemakers. When a clinician first purchases a diode laser, it is easy to be confused by representatives who claim that one diode will cut faster than another, or may be superior for certain procedures. The author has used many different diode lasers and different diode laser wavelengths, and has found that they are remarkably different in ability to cut tissues which depends on lot of factors-

• Diode Peak Power
• MPE
• Wavelength
• Diode capacity
• Service
• Clinical Support
• Warranty
• Spares availability

Uses of Diode laser in day to day practice-

Laser can be used in day to day treatment on daily basis in our practice, from basic endodontic treatment to gingivectomy to gingival troughing laser is helpful in each and every cases.

Introduction-
Your smile is one of the first thing people notice about you and it distinguish your character,This is why a healthy smile is so important .Teeth whitening has become more & more popular as men and women seek for that celebrity smile. In today’s society, whitening your teeth is a very popular cosmetic procedure that is non-invasive and creates a beautiful white smile that is very attractive. When people begin to age, it is natural for their teeth to darken when the mineral structures within their teeth begin altering. This occurs from smoking, as well as consuming foods or liquids that could cause stains on the teeth. Laser teeth whitening could help provide a solution for some of these problems.

What is Laser Teeth Whitening?

Laser teeth whitening, which is often called power whitening, is one of the most common ways to solve the problem of discolored teeth. In recent years, this procedure has grown in popularity because it is safe and it will not cause damage to the patient’s gums or the structure of the tooth. Because people are unable to do this procedure within their own homes, they must turn to their dentists. At this point, their dentist will determine which type of whitening procedure is most appropriate for them.
At the beginning of the procedure, the patient has a rubber dam placed inside their mouth so their gums receive protection. Then, a layer of bleaching gel is applied to their teeth that contain natural pH levels. The next step is the gel for the laser, and which causes the mineral accelerant held within it to activate. This causes the whitening gel to transform into oxygen. At this point it covers the tooth’s enamel and allows the whitening gel to become penetrated into the tooth’s lower levels so teeth whiten. It is possible for teeth to look up to between five to six shades brighter with laser whitening. The purpose of the laser is to speed up the process of whitening through its interaction with the gel that causes the whitening to occur. It typically takes about one hour for the procedure.

What Can Patients Expect From Laser Teeth Whitening?

One of the biggest advantages of laser teeth whitening is that, from beginning to end, the entire procedure takes about one hour before noticeable differences are seen. Laser teeth whitening is not recommended for people who have receding gums, sensitive teeth, or other severe problems with their teeth. It is also not recommended that women who are pregnant, or people who are sixteen years old or younger.
It is also possible that the patient’s teeth may come out whiter than they believed they would be. This is not a long-term problem due to the fact that laser teeth whitening does not have permanent results. With that in mind, some stains could resurface that could require additional laser treatments to be required. This, of course, leads to further expenses. The immediate results, however, are worth the investment.

Periodontal disease is a gum infection caused by polymicrobial bacteria. Bacteria multiply and travel along the tooth root surfaces and produce a hard substance known as tartar. The gums becomes red and puffy in response to the presence of bacteria, eventually culminating in tooth loss, bone loss, or even heart disease if left untreated. Laser dentists offer alternatives to traditional treatment.

Traditional gum disease treatment

Traditional chairside protocol consists of scraping with sharp instruments and ultrasonic scalers to remove tartar, biofilm, and toxic bacteria from tooth root surfaces. Traditional treatment can cause bleeding, swelling, and pain.

A better alternative

According to the American Dental Association, many clinicians choose lasers over traditional treatment because they prefer non-surgical management of periodontal disease. Lasers use tiny beams of light to eradicate harmful bacteria. Laser technology demonstrates positive effects on decreasing bacteria, removing calculus, assisting in tissue reattachment, and biostimulation for better healing. The treatment is called Laser Bacterial reduction(LBR).

The benefits of laser treatment

Lasers are considered leading-edge treatment for periodontal disease. Advantages of laser treatment include:

• Enhanced success
• Reduced anxiety in patients
• Eliminated drill noise
• Eliminated noisy ultrasonic instruments
• Reduced bleeding
• Sealed periodontal pockets
• Reduced gum trauma
• Reduced or eliminated tooth loss
• Minimized swelling during treatment
• Faster healing time

When it comes to the use of laser therapy in dentistry , it plays a significant role in a successful way. Even this dental laser technology is used in different applications. When it comes to oral care,dental lasers are utilized in different issues, for exampleteeth whitening,biopsy,removing muscle attachment etc.

Working process of Laser-

In General, the use of laser therapy in dentistry is to enhance photobiologic effects. The photothermal change of energy empowers delicate tissue entry points and extractions and it accomplishes the objective with legitimately related precision.
In simple words, dental laser treatment is intended to work precisely. During this process, four interactions happen once the energy achieves the interface which is absorption, transmission, scattering and reflection .
And the lasers generally work like a beam of light. In the surgical process , it acts as a propelled instrument and when utilized for relieving a filling, the laser helps in reinforcing the bond among filling and tooth.

Benefits-

• More exact and trend setting innovation.
• Painless experience and relaxing
• No anesthesia infusions or penetrate systems are required.
• Reduce symptoms and recuperating times related to conventional treatments.
• Bloodless and reduced post operativecomplications.Reduction of microscopic organism in gum tissue
• When you are using lasers in dentistry for soft tissue treatment, it should be used precisely and precautions has to be followed.
• The use of lasers in dentistry is increasing day by day because of benefits that comes along with Lasers.
