The energy available to treat the dental pulp after transmittance through overlying structures is clinically important for determining photobiological effects. This ex vivo study aimed to quantify laser energy delivery though the dental crown to the pulp from an initial energy of 5 J using four common laser wavelengths (λ = 450, 650, 810, and 980 nm).
The primary aim of this ex vivo study was to evaluate thermal damage and cutting efficiency of micro and super pulsed diode lasers. The secondary aim was to suggest a guideline to perform simple surgical excisions adequate for histopathological evaluation

In Santiago, PIOON and Dental America Chile hosted a transformative two-day “Diode Laser Management in Dental Specialties” course. Led by Dra. Carolina Lantaño and Dr. Gustavo Naranjo, participants engaged in theory, hands-on practice, and live frenectomy cases — seven patients received free laser treatment. Highlights included a raffle winner (Dr. Pablo Lazcano) taking home a brand-new PIOON H1 laser, plus each attendee received a gift box and official certification.
This review explores the use of blue wavelength lasers (445–450 nm) in dentistry, highlighting their advantages in soft tissue surgery, microbial reduction, and teeth whitening. It emphasizes their high absorption by hemoglobin and melanin, making them efficient for precise cutting with minimal thermal damage when properly controlled.
Laser dentistry is precise and minimally invasive—but is it truly safe? Learn about common risks, protective measures, and regulatory standards. From eye safety to equipment maintenance, get a clear overview of best practices for safe dental laser use.
What an energizing month for dentistry in Panama! 🇵🇦 A huge shoutout to our incredible partner @AkromedLatam for driving two high-impact events: an official AOP-certified laser training course 🦷 and a live tech demo at UIP University 🎓—both showcasing the future of dental care in action.
Explore the differences between dental diode lasers, CO₂ lasers, and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers in terms of wavelength, applications, clinical effectiveness, and cost. This guide compares key features, advantages, and limitations of each laser type to help dentists choose the right tool for their practice
This case study highlights the effectiveness of 450 nm diode laser for non-ablative gingival depigmentation. The laser achieved excellent aesthetic outcomes with minimal discomfort and no recurrence after three months.
