Laser teeth and teeth whitening

Laser teeth whitening makes it possible to whiten most yellowed or stained teeth during a single 1-2 hour procedure even teeth stained by tobacco, coffee and tetracycline can be dramatically improved. The convenience of laser teeth whitening is the perfect choice for the busy individual, the results of laser whitening may vary and depend upon your initial teeth colour and oral hygiene.

What causes teeth discoloration? There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. During teeth formation consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause discoloration. Who may bene.t from laser whitening? Almost anyone. However treatment may not be as effective on some as it is for others. The dentist can determine if you are a viable candidate thorough oral examination, including a shade assessment. Is laser whitening safe? Yes. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that laser whitening under supervision of a dentist is safe. As with many teeth whitening product, laser whitening is not recommended for children under 15 or pregnant women. How does the laser whitening work? The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. The dentist will then apply the whitening gel on the teeth and activates it by laser. This gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen peroxide. As the hydrogen peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching coloured substances while the structure of the teeth is unchanged. Laser aids in activating the Hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the teeth. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient depending on the structure of the teeth. Are there any side effects? Some people experience temporary increased teeth sensitivity. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after completion of the treatment. Applying a Fluoride gel or a dental desensitiser resolves the sensation. How long do the results last? 18-24 months usually. By using home kits for a short period of time after laser whitening, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best for longer we recommend using whitening teethpaste and occasional touch-ups with the home kits. How much will it cost? Prices can vary depending on how many teeth have been treated. An estimate will be given to you by the dentist after a short examination and shade assessment.

LASER is an acronym: L light A ampli.cation (by) S stimulated E emission (of) R radiation Laser consist of an active medium and a pumping source enclosed in an optical cavity. The active source pumps the active medium (the laser medium itself) from its ground state (zero, inactive state) to an exited state. “Population inversion” occurs when the two sources are mixed together and photons are given off thereby producing the “Laser” activity. This activity is resonated or re.ected back and forth within an optical resonator and ampli.ed. A portion of this activity is then emitted as a LASER beam. Beam splitters or mirrors are used to capture the particular portion of the LASER beam that is needed to perform surgical operation. The main properties of the beam are: - Narrow wavelength - very little divergence of the beam as it travels away from the source. This allows the beam to be focused to very small spots (unlike a conventional light bulb that emits the beam in many directions) - All of the photons that have been given off when the population inversion occurred are “in phase” both in space and time. The active medium of a laser can be either gas, solid or liquid.

LASER TYPES-LASER PROPERTIES DIODE LASER The active medium of the diode laser is a semi-conductor P-N junction made in a GaAIA s crystal. A .exible .bre is used to transmit the laser energy to the surgical site. It works best on soft tissues and can cut very precisely with little or no collateral depending on the settings used during the surgery. The DIODE laser many times can be used without anaesthesia doing very precise anterior aesthetic surgery without causing bleeding or discomfort. It is the best laser for that purpose. DIODE is also used for teeth whitening. CO2 LASER The active medium is gaseous CO2 a proprietary hollow wave length technology is used to deliver the LASER energy to the surgical site. The wave guides are coated to form an internal re.ection that allows the .exible wave guide to be used for the delivery of the LASER energy to surgical site. It is highly absorbed in water and is very good at cutting soft tissue without causing bleeding depending on the settings used with the LASER. It is also the best laser to use to control bleeding in an area. ERBIUM LASER The active medium of the Erbium laser is the solid medium of Erbium. The Erbium laser is used in a pulsed mode and is highly absorbed in water in very low depths. When used on hard tissues the Erbium laser energy that touches the hard tissue heats up the water within the hard tissue and causes that water to be turned into steam. That causes a mini explosion to occur and the hard tissue is ablated (removed). The tissue below is not affected in the least since the laser only works in a very low depths, thereby allowing precise control. This allows us to cut hard tissue or bone many times without anaesthesia and be in.nitely more precise than we could with any drill we have ever used in the past. The Erbium laser can also be used to cut soft tissue but it is not as precise as DIODE laser and it does not control bleeding. There are times when this is exactly what’s needed and that is when you use the Erbium LASER to cut soft tissue. When we are working with a hard tissue like silver .llings, crowns or porcelain that do not have any water inside then we cannot cut with laser. We therefore need to use a burr to remove the material. The fact that the Erbium laser does not affect certain materials like silver .llings, enables us to perform work close or next to a porcelain crown or bridge without the risk of damage to the existing restorations. The Erbium laser does work well if we have to remove composite (white plastic) .llings however.
