The term "LASER" is an acronym for "Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation" (in Spanish "Amplificación de Luz por Emisión Estimulada de Radiación"). The use of laser technology in dentistry has had a constant evolution and development in the last 30 years. Two large groups of lasers should be distinguished: high-power or surgical and low-power or therapeutic. The most used in pediatric dentistry is the therapeutic or LLLT (or "soft"). The therapeutic laser is indicated for various anomalies such as hypersensitivity, gingivitis, herpes, paresthesias, trigeminal neuralgias, trismus, TMJ dysfunction, implants, activation of teeth whitening chemicals, among others. This article intends to perform an update of the applications of low power laser in the field of Pediatric Dentistry, as well as the presentation of 4 representative clinical cases.

RESUMEN. Antecedentes: El láser es una tecnología cada vez más utilizada en Odontología. Para tomar decisiones acertadas con respecto a las características y uso del láser es importante conocer sus bases físicas y biológicas en cuanto a su interacción con los tejidos. Objetivo: Analizar los fundamentos biológicos y físicos del láser en odontología. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión narrativa con base en literatura publicada entre 1990 y 2016 e incluida en el Medline. La muestra consistió en 30 artículos. Para el análisis se empleó un enfoque hermenéutico. Resultados: Los fundamentos físicos analizados incluyen luz, amplificación, emisión estimulada y radiación. En cuanto a los efectos biológicos se analizan el fototérmico, fotoquímico y fotoacústico. Asimismo, se describen las propiedades ópticas de los tejidos orales:  absorción, penetración y longitud de extinción. Conclusiones: No todos los láseres actúan igual y una misma longitud de onda puede tener interacciones diferenciales en los tejidos. Existen varios estudios que evidencian la efectividad del láser en varias especialidades de la odontología y abren la posibilidad de varias líneas de investigación.ABSTRACT. Background: Laser technology usage is increasing in dentistry. In order to take adequate decisions about characteristics and use, it is important to know the physical and biological foundations of laser and its interaction with oral tissues. Objective: To analyze the physical and biological foundations of laser in dentistry. Methods: A narrative review of literature published between 1990 and 2016 and included in Medline was carried out. The sample consisted of 30 articles. Analysis of literature was performed through a hermeneutical approach Results: Physical foundations of laser analyzed include light, amplification, stimulated emission, and radiation. Biological effects studied are photothermal, photochemical, and photoacoustic. In addition, optical properties of oral tissues are described: absorption, penetration, and extinction length. Conclusion: Not all lasers act the same way and the same wave length can interact differently with tissues. Several studies show evidence of the effectiveness of laser in several dental specialties and open the possibility for several lines of research.

<p>One of the most widely used cutaneous applications of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (laser) concerns the treatment of vascular lesions. During the past two decades, very significant advances in the application of laser technology in dermatology have occurred, with selective photothermolysis being the most important. This review focuses on the application of modern laser devices (Pulsed Dye Laser, or PDL; potassium titanyl phosphate laser, or KTP; diode laser; and neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser, or Nd:YAG), as well as the combination of laser and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of vascular lesions. In particular, both congenital (haemangiomas and port-wine stains) and acquired vascular lesions (facial and leg telangiectasias, rosacea, Poikiloderma of Civatte, spider angioma, pyogenic granuloma, and venous lakes) are discussed. The review of many recent research studies demonstrates that modern applications of lasers in dermatology constitute the finest method for the treatment of vascular lesions, combining the advantages of invasive therapy with the security offered by non-invasive therapy, while in certain cases they are the single and only choice for the treatment of these lesions.</p>
