Abstract

LASER application has many advantages in the field of dentistry, however, it is not easy to apply dental LASER in general practice. Various LASER systems are in the market and it is little bit confused which LASER systems are useful. Most of all, it is important to select the appropriate LASER system to their own usage. In the present article, I introduce several LASER system such as $CO_2$, Diode, Nd:YAG, Er:YG, Er,Cr:YSGG, and its application according to specific disease criteria.
