Dry Socket Therapy by Dental Diode Laser

Extraction is a painful and fearful event in eyes of patients because of several reasons, mostly because of fear of anesthesia, or uneventful healing undergone by them previously or by near and dear ones.

When we introduce Laser dentistry to patient we simultaneously promise them the experience of no to low pain, minimal anesthesia and faster healing and no post operative discomfort.
There are several factors which decide whether the patient will experience the same or if is it still going to be painful.

Dental Laser is a magic wand of dentistry and as the patient also believe that any surgery or treatment undergone by laser will definitely give me better and faster results.

Wound healing can be promoted by using laser immediately after extraction in patients followed by 2 more sittings if bone cutting is involved. Diode laser in Dentistry is something which is now used in most of clinical practice and clinicians are using it in day to day practice.
If we give therapy immediately after surgery will significantly improve osteoid formation, repress inflammation and promote vascularization .
Low level laser therapy primarily works by getting absorbed in inner wall of mitochondria on cytochrome c oxidase, which helps in production of more of ATP followed by formation of cell growth, and ‘ NO'( Nitric oxides) is  released which helps in vasodilation and improvement of vascularization and flushing of old and dead cells and in small amount ‘ROS’ is released which controls infection to control inflammation.

Mostly Diode laser come along with therapy attachment , low level laser therapy hand piece have defocusing lens which decrease power by 1/4 th .
Diode laser therapy with defocusing hand piece is used at 1W continuous mode power for around 30 seconds for 3 times in non contact mode( 2-3 mm) above the surface and in continuous motion.

Therapy has to be given after gap of 48hrs and (0,3,5) mostly give complete relief to patient.
Pain reduction is something which is immediately appreciated by patient.
