The Future is Light: Erbium Lasers in Minimally Invasive Dentistry
Lasers have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering minimally invasive, precise, and patient-friendly alternatives to conventional procedures. Among the various laser systems, erbium lasers—Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG—stand out for their unique wavelength absorption by both water and hydroxyapatite, making them highly effective for both hard and soft tissue applications. This presentation explores the physics, mechanisms, and clinical versatility of erbium lasers in dental practice. Emphasis is placed on their role in cavity preparation, soft tissue contouring, periodontal therapy, and implantology. Through clinical cases, real-time videos, and procedural insights, the session highlights the advantages of erbium lasers, such as reduced postoperative discomfort, enhanced healing, and improved precision. This evidence-based discussion aims to enhance clinical decision-making and expand therapeutic options for practitioners integrating laser technology into daily dental workflows.
