Compared to traditional treatments, the main principle of dental diode laser cutting soft tissue is to heat the tissue with a hot tip contact. By converting light energy into heat energy at the tip end, the high temperature can be high enough to evaporate the soft tissue. Dental diode lasers have significant advantages, mainly scarless wound healing and improved bacterial reduction. For patients, ...
