Question 1

Areas of application of laser treatment in dentistry

Accepted Answer

In my practice, the laser is used in a wide variety of dental treatments. For caries detection, it helps me identify affected areas at an early stage. In cases of gum inflammation, I use the laser to specifically reduce bacteria and remove inflamed tissue in a particularly gentle way. Also during root canal treatments

Question 2

Which laser types do I use?

Accepted Answer

Not every laser is suitable for every therapy. The soft laser promotes wound healing and relieves discomfort associated with sensitive tooth necks – a dye is activated by laser light and combats harmful bacteria, without the need to mechanically remove tartar and plaque.

Question 3

Laser treatment for periodontitis – a topic of its own

Accepted Answer

Patients frequently ask me about photodynamic laser treatment for periodontitis or periodontal disease. Because the topic is so extensive, I have written a dedicated article about it: Laser Periodontitis Vienna. There you can find out how the therapy works on periodontal pockets and what advantages it offers.

Question 4

Can laser treatment cure periodontitis?

Accepted Answer

Periodontitis is a chronic disease, not an acute infection, so it cannot be "cured" in the classical sense. However, laser therapy can stop disease progression, control inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. Long-term stability requires a combination of professional treatment and consistent patient compliance (oral hygiene, smoking cessation). YERIT Practice offers an evidence-based, stepped treatment approach.

Question 5

Which Laser is Best for Periodontitis – Diode or Er:YAG Laser?

Accepted Answer

Both laser types have distinct advantages: The diode laser (810 nm) is highly effective for bacterial control and biostimulation, making it ideal for deep periodontal pockets. The Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) operates with greater precision in tissue, making it suitable for surgical corrections of pocket walls. At YERIT practice, we select the optimal laser based on your specific clinical situation. An initial consultation will clarify the best treatment strategy for your individual case.
