The oral cavity is a complex environment, where hard and
soft tissue exists in close proximity and all within bacteria
laden salive. All oral tissue are receptive to laser treatment.
LASER is an acronym of Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation. According to the clinical use in dentistry
we know soft-tissue, hard tissue, and so called all-tissue
lasers. Another classification is based on laser wavelenght
in the electromagnetic sprectrum of light: ultraviolet, visible,
near, mid, and far-infrared laser. The basic component of laser
are: the optical cavity, the active medium which characterizes
the wavelenght of specific laser, the pumping source , the
controller, the delivery system that transport the laser energy
to a terminal handpiece and tips and finaly to the tissue. Most
of the laser wavelenght used in dentistry fall in the visible
and infrared spectrum. The medium-infrared laser represent
the all-tissue lasers, for application on both the mucosa and
gingiva, tooth, and bone. The visible, near and far-infrared laser
are mainly used for soft-tissue application, some of them are
use for caries detection and biostimulation.The interaction of
laser light with tissue follows the rules of optical physics. Laser
beam can be reflected, absorbed, diffused, and transmitted.
The selectivity of action depended on the affinity between a
wavelenght and a target tissue.
Biography
Barbara Škrlj Golob graduated in the Department of Dentistry, Faculty
of Medicine at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) in 2000. In 2016, she
obtained her MSc Degree in Laser Dentistry from the University of Genoa
(Italy) and another MSc Degree (Master in Clinical and Surgical Microend-
odontics, under supervision by Professor Elio Berutti) from the University of
Turin (Italy) in 2017 respectively. In 2007, she started with private practice.
In 2011, she got involved in first laser workshop in Aachen (Germany) where
she received a Certificate of LSO and AALZ Dental Laser. One year later, she
received PIPS Certificate awarded by Professor Giovanni Olivi (Rome).
