Abstract

Lasers offer many useful clinical applications for general dentists in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, as long as the clinician receives the proper training to use this technology safely and effectively. This article consists of 3 case reports where the Diode laser has been effectively used for treatment of periodontal pockets, crown lengthening and exposure of a canine for orthodontic treatment.
