Preface

Lasers are novel and innovative technologies with many benefits for clinicians, patients, and applications in surgical dentistry. It is a significant contribution to the modern medical field that laser light can be used effectively in clinical dentistry based on present scientific developments and technological advances.

Scientific evaluation of this technology presents a lack of strong evidence in specific areas of dentistry, but there is no doubt that lasers are beneficial as clinical tools in a variety of clinical scenarios based on the appropriate laser‐tissue interactions and the challenges in daily practice.

The first part of the book will provide the fundamental and advanced uses of lasers as surgical tools for improvement of clinical outcomes and is focused on the intraoral applications of a variety of laser wavelengths and devices.

The book presents the clinical impact of the use of lasers on the different fields of surgical dentistry in a modern way with clinical photographs and step‐by‐step documentation. The strength of the book is the discussions of the use of different lasers and novel fiber‐optics in the treatment of a variety of clinical problems and the contribution of top specialists in the field of antimicrobial, photodynamic therapy, and laser safety.

For instance, the use of laser light to excise or coagulate tumors, the impact of lasers on periodontal surgical procedures, as well as in implant dentistry, from the implant uncovering to the treatment of peri‐implant diseases, are discussed. The highlights of the book for the new decade are the modification of traditional concepts of treatment and using a patient friendlier method leading to less postoperative complications and excellent wound healing.

The book explains systematically the protocols of treatment with clinical cases and illustrates the way of thinking and treatment methodology in the different surgical fields. It is an excellent resource for clinicians who want to improve their experience in surgical dentistry and advance their practice. In addition, the book is a strong foundation for the specialist who wants to learn more about this novel technology and how it can fit in their practice.

Enjoy reading but also practice, and you will recognize the pearls and jewels in Advanced Laser Surgery in Dentistry.
