Abstract

Lasers are increasingly used in modern dentistry for both surgical and non-surgical procedures across various specialties. In prosthodontics, lasers such as CO2, argon, and YAG have improved soft tissue management, enhanced healing, and facilitated precision during prosthetic procedures. In orthodontics, lasers assist in soft tissue contouring, frenectomies, and the removal of resin residues, boosting efficiency and patient comfort throughout treatment. In paediatric dentistry, lasers act as a minimally invasive alternative for caries removal, pulp therapy, and infection control, resulting in reduced pain, better cooperation from children, and greater satisfaction for patients and caregivers. This review highlights recent advancements and clinical benefits of laser integration in prosthodontics, orthodontics, and paediatric dentistry, emphasising their role in improving patient outcomes and modernising dental practice.
