Diode lasers are playing an increasingly important role in the field of oral healthcare.

In oral surgery, diode lasers can be used for soft tissue procedures. For example, in gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, they enable precise cutting and shaping of gingival tissue. Compared to traditional surgical instruments, diode lasers offer the advantage of reduced bleeding. This is because the laser energy can instantly seal small blood vessels, minimizing intraoperative bleeding and providing a clearer surgical field, which helps doctors perform procedures with greater precision.

In oral medicine, diode lasers are beneficial for root canal disinfection. The laser energy effectively kills bacteria within the root canal, reducing the risk of infection and improving the success rate of root canal treatment. Additionally, in treating dentin hypersensitivity, diode lasers can alter the surface structure and chemical composition of dentin, sealing dentinal tubules and thereby alleviating tooth sensitivity.

In orthodontics, diode lasers can assist in accelerating tooth movement. By stimulating the alveolar bone with specific laser energy, they promote bone remodeling, allowing teeth to move faster under orthodontic forces and thus shortening the duration of orthodontic treatment.

Furthermore, for oral mucosal diseases such as oral ulcers, low-energy irradiation from diode lasers promotes healing. It stimulates cell proliferation, modulates inflammatory responses, and accelerates the healing of ulcerative wounds.

With continuous technological advancements, the application of diode lasers in oral healthcare will continue to expand and optimize, bringing more innovation and progress to the treatment of oral diseases, and enhancing the overall quality and efficiency of oral healthcare. RealLight offers customers high-performance, cost-effective diode laser modules and systems.
