Introduction: In past few years, there is huge improvement in orthodontics. Different innovation in orthodontics made the procedure easier and less time consuming. Application of laser is one of them. Many types of dental lasers are currently available that can be efficiently used for soft and hard tissue applications in the field of orthodontics. Two types of lasers are there. One is hard tissue laser, and another is soft tissue laser. Laser therapy is advantageous because it often avoids bleeding, can be pain free, is non‑invasive and is relatively quick. The high cost is its primary disadvantage. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview regarding safe and proper use of soft-tissue lasers in orthodontics

<p>There is no doubt that radiation has many side effects in our lives, so our goal in this study is to reduce our use of radiation in the diagnosis of tooth caries, and in order to achieve this goal we used the field of optical fiber in the detection of some diseases associated with oral and dental medicine. This diagnosis was accomplished by shedding light on the teeth, to be diagnosed and creating an image that allows the doctor to examine them and determine whether there are caries or any root problems. The principle is also used to detect oral cancer, fractures, and cracks in bones. This study also allows us to detect early caries, and this method saves time because it gives the diagnosis at the same time while the patient is in the treatment unit of the dental clinic. Thus the main advantages of this method are, enable the dentist to view images on the display unit attached to the clinic in real-time, compare current photos with old photos of the same patient. Also, the dentist can create a photo archive of each tooth individually and can retrieve and compare them whenever he wants.    </p>

The study is dedicated to the study of inflammatory and destructive periodontal diseases. Predicting the probability of a favorable outcome or treatment failure is one of the most important doctor’s tasks when choosing a particular method. This problem could not be solved without using a large amount of data characterizing the patient's condition at a particular point in time. The empirical approach to this problem depends largely on individual experience and does not imply obtaining any formalized (numerical) probability estimates of successful or, on the contrary, unsuccessful end of treatment. Correct and effective using of dental lasers in clinical practice requires knowledge of their effects on tissues of the oral cavity. Each type of laser has its properties that are used to solve clinical cases. Laser radiation requires an approach that is significantly different from the traditional use of dental instruments. To determine lasers therapeutic indications for the treatment of inflammatory and destructive periodontal diseases, we applied biometric approaches to the development of mathematical models using multidimensional analysis, allowing to obtain qualitative assessments for optimization of method and treatment strategy selection. The development of predictive models was carried out in several stages. Each of the generally accepted dental signs characterizing periodontal disease could not be a reliable criterion for the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of surgical treatment. Comprehensive assessment using a logistic (exponential) model of the probability of a particular treatment outcome with a high degree statistical reliability makes it possible to select patients for whom treatment with laser technologies is recommended.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the surface of glazed lithium disilicate dental ceramics after irradiation under different irradiation settings of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Materials and Methods: Three glazed-press lithium disilicate ceramic discs were treated with HF, Er:YAG, and Nd:YAG, respectively. The laser-setting variables tested were laser mode, repetition rate (Hz), power (W), time of exposure (seconds), and laser energy (mJ). Sixteen different variable settings were tested for each laser type, and all the samples were analyzed by SEM at 500× and 1000× magnification. Results: Surface analysis of the HF-treated sample showed a typical surface texture with a homogenously rough pattern and exposed ceramic crystals. Er:YAG showed no effect on the surface under any irradiation setting. The surface of Nd:YAG-irradiated samples showed cracking, melting, and resolidifying of the ceramic glaze. These changes became more pronounced as the power increased. At the highest power setting (2.25 W), craters on the surface with large areas of melted or resolidified glaze surrounded by globules were visible. However, there was little to no exposure of ceramic crystals or visible regular surface roughening. Conclusions: Neither Er:YAG nor Nd:YAG dental lasers exhibited adequate surface modification for bonding of orthodontic brackets on glazed lithium disilicate ceramics compared with the control treated with 9.5% HF.
