Abstract

Lasers have been shown to be excellent additions to the dental armamentarium. When used on medically compromised patients in a hospital-based setting or private practice setting sufficiently equipped to deal with potential medical emergencies, lasers can make treatment of these patients much simpler and safer. As more uses are found for dental lasers and more wavelengths are developed for dentistry, lasers will become an increasingly useful tool for the hospital dental practice.
