Laser biostimulation therapy is a modern treatment method used in dentistry that utilizes laser light to stimulate cells and accelerate regenerative processes in tissues. It is an effective therapy for treating pain, swelling, and speeding up healing after surgical procedures.

Procedure for Laser Biostimulation Therapy
The laser biostimulation therapy procedure in our clinic includes the following steps:
- Consultation and Diagnosis:
- Initial consultation to assess oral health and determine eligibility for laser therapy.
- Medical interview to identify potential contraindications.
- Preparation for the Procedure:
- Thorough cleaning of the treatment area.
- Use of antiseptic agents to minimize the risk of infection.
- Procedure Execution:
- Application of the appropriate laser type depending on the condition being treated.
- Precise direction of the laser beam to the treatment area according to the treatment plan.
Post-Treatment Care for Laser Biostimulation Therapy
- Oral Hygiene: Avoid intense brushing near the treated area for the first few days. Gentle mouth rinses are recommended.
- Avoid Irritating Foods: Refrain from consuming hot, hard, or spicy foods that may irritate the treated area.
- Pain Management: Use prescribed pain relief medication as directed by the doctor.
- Monitor the Area: Observe the treatment site for signs of infection, such as excessive pain, swelling, or discharge, and report these to your dentist immediately.
- Cold Compresses: Use cold compresses on the cheek to reduce swelling.
Applications and Uses in Dentistry
- Laser biostimulation in dentistry has broad applications. For instance, using the biostimulation laser before treating a cavity raises the pain threshold and makes the procedure less uncomfortable. It significantly reduces healing time after dental surgeries and accelerates wound healing after tooth extractions. It is also effective for non-invasive treatment of mucosal pathologies, ulcers, purulent infections, and herpetic gingivitis. The laser is indispensable in treating periodontitis and cavities in patients who, due to systemic diseases, cannot or should not receive local anesthesia.
- Laser therapy is also used for pulpitis, tooth sensitivity, periodontal inflammation, gingival necrosis, mucosal injuries, extractions, bleeding, dry sockets, acute maxillary sinusitis, oral fungal infections, temporomandibular joint pain, swelling after jaw fractures, and implantology post-operative care involving surgical implant placement.
- Laser effects, as confirmed by numerous studies, not only reduce swelling and pain but also minimize the risk of infection and implant rejection. Additionally, wounds heal faster with less discomfort. Overall, the use of dental lasers provides pain relief, enhances therapeutic outcomes, reduces infection risks, and accelerates tissue regeneration.
