Abstract
Introduction: In the last ten years, dental lasers become a vital part of many dental practices and a solution to many clinical
problems that are seen daily in private practice. Dental lasers are very useful tool helping general practitioners and dental
specialists for both soft and hard tissues.
The main goal of this our research is to determine the most common dental procedures performed in dental offices using laser
technology.
Material and method: The research included three dental offices, with seven dentists who use lasers in their everyday dental
practice. Each of the doctors responded to a specially designed questionnaire, from which the data were later extracted and
analyzed.
Results: Most commonly performed dental interventions by the clinicians in examined dental practices are interventions
performed on soft oral tissues. The most commonly performed dental soft tissue interventions are laser frenulectomy and
crown lengthening. Also, lasers are often used in periodontal interventions and in dental implantology.
Conclusion: Dental lasers, as a modern tool, can find numerous indications ii everyday dental practice. The numerous
advantages that the laser possesses as a tool should be the reason for its increasing use in various types of dental
interventions. Common use of lasers is reduced to a small number of interventions depending on the knowledge and routine of
the clinician himself. By introducing modern educational programs this situation could be improved.
Keywords
