The integration of laser technology in dentistry has transformed patient care by offering precision, reduced discomfort, and faster healing. However, selecting the appropriate laser for a dental practice can be challenging due to the variety of wavelengths, technologies, and clinical applications available. This presentation Dr Nivedita Rane Mulasavalgi aims to guide clinicians through the decision-making process by comparing soft and hard tissue lasers, evaluating clinical needs, understanding wavelength-tissue interactions, and considering practical factors such as cost, training, and return on investment. By resolving this “laser dilemma,” practitioners can make informed choices that enhance both patient outcomes and practice efficiency.
