Abstract

Laser technology is an important addition to both therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. It is a rapidly growing field and the surgeon must have thorough knowledge of the current literature and also of the advancements so as to perform the laser surgical procedures efficiently and effectively. The surgeon must also be aware of the benefits, safety and hazards of the lasers and must follow the safety guidelines. Advances in the laser systems make the procedures easier to perform. Incorporating the lasers in the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice has led to improvement in the patient care. In this article, we have summarized the application of lasers in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery by review of literatures.
