Abstract

Various types of lasers are in practice of dentistry with the rapid developing laser technology. In parallel with the development, lasers have also been used in pediatric dentistry. Er,Cr:YSGG, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, diode lasers, argon lasers, CO2 lasers are types of lasers, used in dentistry. Many applications such as detection of pulp vitality or caries, caries removal, etching, recontouring of bone, soft tissue curettage, bacterial decontamination, aesthetic contouring, analgesia, activation and endodontic treatment have been the subject of studies. In addition, lasers are used in the preventive dentistry, which is one of the important issues of pediatric dentistry. The purpose of this review is to assess the role of lasers in clinical practice of pediatric dentistry and the place of it in the future depending on the results of the studies.
