Abstract

Er,Cr:YSGG LASERS: A boon in pediatric oral surgery

Lasers have manifold applications in pediatric oral surgery enabling several soft and hard tissue procedures in children with greater ease and patient comfort than the conventional techniques. Various laser systems have been previously used in dentistry including CO2, Diode, Er,Cr: YAG Laser etc. With the introduction of Er, Cr: YSGG lasers, a single tool can be used to cut, coagulate and promote healing. The advantage of Er,Cr:YSGG laser over other group of lasers is that these can be used for both hard and soft tissue procedures as these are well absorbed by water molecules as well as hydroxyapatite crystals. It is the laser of choice in surgical procedure due to its known advantages especially safety, minimally invasive cutting, reduction in post operative discomfort, pain and infection; bactericidal and hemostatic effects and faster healing. The applications of Er, Cr: YSGG lasers include but are not limited to local anesthesia before, reattachment of fractured incisal fragment, frenectomy, fibroma removal, mucocele excision,operculectomy etc. All these procedures have been successfully performed in our department with excellent results which will be presented. The parameters for each procedure vary and a thorough knowledge of the same is required before starting use of lasers along with safety measures to be followed. This presentation aims to describe the working of Er,Cr: YSGG lasers, oral surgical procedures performed using the same and the clinical techniques and tips for mastering Er,Cr: YSGG lasers.
