Fundamentals of Laser Dentistry is a comprehensive guide to laser dentistry, from basic concepts to clinical practice. Beginning with an introduction to the physics and safety issues concerning lasers, the book then examines the clinical application of laser dentistry in different dental scenarios, for example, in operative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, paediatric dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery and more. Numerous diagrams, charts, photographs and illustrations are included to assist understanding of topics including cavity cutting, endodontics and periodontal therapy and laser-assisted cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening and crown lengthening.
