Pedodontists

Primary Tooth Restorations
• Analgesia for primary tooth restorations reducing the need for
  local anesthetic in these cases
• Analgesia for restorations done with Air Abrasion allowing for
  deeper restorative procedures using Air Abrasion
• Reduction in post-op sensitivity
• Production of secondary dentine in deep restorative situations

Anesthetics
• Faster uptake of anesthesia
  (will also eliminate faster so must take into consideration)
• Faster elimination of anesthesia
  (important in reducing probability of lip biting)

Nausea and Gagging
• Reduction of nausea and gagging
 
Post Extraction
• Reduction of post-op pain and edema
• Analgesia for simple extractions
• Reduced need for post-operative analgesics
• Increased circulation for faster healing
• Better bone formation
• Reduced probability of dry socket

Dental Infection
• Reduction of edema
• Stimulate the immune system and brings neutrophils to site
  of infection for faster healing
• Speeds uptake of antibiotic into system
 
Soft Tissue Lesions
(includes herpes lesions, apthous ulcers, and denture sores)
• Reduction in Pain
• Prevention of lesion in caught in early stages
• Faster healing
• Decreased recurrence
 
Endodontics
• Reduction of pain and inflammation following pulpotomy
• Reduced need for post-op analgesics
 
Orthodontics
• Reduction in the intensity of pain
• Increased speed of tooth movement because of stimulation of osteoblasts
 



Periodontists
 
Tissue Removal with Laser or Soft Tissue Surgery
•  Reduction of pain and inflammatory response
•  Stimulation of wound healing

Curettage in Pocket
•  Pain Reduction
•  Stimulation of wound and tissue healing

Gingival Graft
•  Pain reduction
•  Stimulation of fibroblasts for faster and more successful treatment of graft

Flap & Bone Surgery
•  Pain reduction

•  Stimulation of wound healing
•  Stimulation of osteoblasts for stimulation of bone

Implants
•  Reduction of pain after surgery
•  Stimulation of fibroblasts for wound and tissue healing
•  Stimulation of osteoblasts for better integration of implant

Scaling
•  Reduction of root sensitivity during scaling procedure
•  Analgesia during scaling appointment

Root Sensitivity
•  Decrease root sensitivity
•  Stimulation of b-endorphins
•  Reduction of the conduction of c-fibres (carry pulpal pain)
•  Tissue biostimulation

Periodontal Abscess
•  Increased lymphatic draining resulting in decreased edema
•  Stimulation of wound healing
•  Stimulate the immune system and brings neutrophils to site
  of infection for faster healing

TMJ or Facial Pain
•  Decreased muscle tension
•  Decreased pain and inflammation

Nerve Regeneration
• Return of sensation after traumatic damage or severing of a nerve
 



Endodontists
 
Following Root Canal
• Reduction of post-op pain and inflammation
• Reduced need for post-op analgesics
 
Diagnosis of Hyperemic Teeth
• Allows accurate identification of affected tooth
• Identifies whether tooth has irreversible pulpitis or can be treated conservatively
 
Dentine Hypersensitivity
• Reduction in the conduction of c-fibres, which carry pulpal pain
•  Stimulation of b-endorphins
•  Reduction in inflammation
•  Stimulation of tissue healing

Treatment Note: Research has indicated that laser therapy in combination with chemical desensitizer results in successful desensitization in 80-90% of cases.
 
Endodontic Surgery
•  Reduction of post-op pain and inflammation
