The Types of Lasers Used in Dentistry
As mentioned earlier, the wavelength and frequency of the laser light are ways of classifying dental lasers. However, these parameters of the light are dependent on the active element within the laser. They can also be classified based on the type of tissues they are used on, such as hard tissue lasers (hard lasers) and soft tissue lasers (soft lasers). Hard lasers are also termed as hot lasers while soft lasers are known as cold lasers (Flowchart 1).
