How Does Laser Gum Surgery Work?
Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. It is a device that can release powerful light beams of thermal energy. During gum surgery, these light beams can help sterilize the treated area, get rid of bacteria and germs, coagulate blood vessels for blood clots, as well as cut and eliminate damaged tissue. In general, lasers work by emitting an energy change in atoms. The light from lasers may move atoms from the resting state to the excited state. As a result, spontaneous emission is triggered to generate energy, which is necessary for performing these tasks in gum surgery. [3]
