Dental Lasers Adoption Gains Ascent with Ample Applications in Dental Caries Treatment
by Basant K. Global Market Research ReportsOral
health is a crucial element to determine one's holistic wellbeing. According to
popular belief, compromised oral hygiene and concomitant dental conditions are
prominent triggers for several critical ailments such as endocarditis. The
ambit of dental disorders is rather vast, encompassing several conditions such
as periodontitis, dental cavities, foul breath, and dry mouth amongst others. According
to Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 review, oral diseases pose magnanimous
threat and significantly deteriorate quality of life, affecting over 3.58 Bn
people across the globe. Tooth decay or caries has been identified as the
singular propellant of most oral disorder cases, affecting 2.4 Bn adults and
486 Mn children.
Besides
genetics and poor oral care regimen, the global burden of dental disorders
continues to spike on the back of low or insufficient fluoride exposure and
constricted access to primary oral health care centers. The scenario is more
pronounced across low and mid income economies. Dental therapeutics therefore
remains a pertinent area of research and over time has augmented several
advances such as dental lasers.
Dental Caries Singularly Contributes to
Over 2.4Bn Cases of Dental Disorders
Dental
caries continues to remain a persistent dental condition across demographics.
Triggered by acids of specific bacteria which destroy tooth enamel and dentin,
forming caries or cavities, this condition is rampantly visible amongst people of
all age groups. Often characterized by excruciating pain, tooth sensitivity,
pits, and spots, these dental caries are accounted to significantly impact
normal life of patients, affecting their eating preferences and overall quality
of life.
Ranging
from fluoride treatments, fillings, crowns, and root canals, effective dental
caries treatment comprise complicated sittings with painful procedures.
Additionally, during severe decays and irreversible complexities, the diseased
tooth is also extracted at several instances. To offset such limitations,
dental therapeutics has of-late made a leap towards advanced treatment options
such as dental lasers.
Yet
another prevalent dental condition is periodontitis which is commonly known as
gum disease, characterized by acute inflammation of the gum and other
supporting structures, often leading to pain and bleeding. Unaddressed,
prolonged prevalence of periodontitis may also lead to premature tooth loss.
To reverse the effects of such alarming gum conditions, adoption of traditional dental treatment such as surgical procedures remained highly popular to remove accumulated plaque and deposits under the gum. However, adoption of anesthesia also remained integral to carry out advanced procedures such as temporary removal of the gum, followed by its restructuring. Such pervasive medical procedures and the application of local anesthesia have been long identified as significant deterrents, leading to poor patient satisfaction and long-term clinical outcome. Adoption of these devices has therefore attained greater traction in recent years, thereby, motivating the dental laser market to acquire high-end importance across diverse geographies.
Mounting Preferences for Minimally
Invasive Dental Procedures Pave Way for Advanced Dental Lasers
Reigning
preferences for minimally invasive dental treatment expedites adoption of
dental laser as effective tool to enable risk assessment, devise prevention
programs, and significantly comprehend disease prognosis in the ambit of
aforementioned dental conditions such as caries and gum disorders.
Considering
invasive treatment procedure and long healing time, dentists are fast embracing
dental laser as apt substitute to dental surgeries. Backed by a host of
advantages such as no cutting and sutures, short duration, fewer follow-ups,
shorter recovery time, and low diet restrictions, dental lasers continue to
remain preferred alternatives. Besides aforementioned features, dental lasers
have specifically revolutionized dental therapy amongst patients afflicted with
severe conditions such as HIV, hemophilia, and diabetes where the immune system
remains severely deficient, thereby heightening risks of infections and
compromised healing time.
Further,
the benefits of laser also trickles down to dentists who can exercise greater
control in laser application. Considering the severity of gum disorders,
dentists can optimize the wavelengths and power levels of the laser beam to
suit specific cases. Additionally, owing to its minimally invasive approach, dental
lasers offer overtly precise experience, targeting only affected areas and
accurately preserving healthy parts of teeth. Factors as such also limit
bacterial infection owing to minimal tools involved.
Cosmetic Dentistry Scales Heights with
Improved Dental Lasers
As
healthy dental structure is directly proportional to one's aesthetic appeal,
cosmetic surgery has over time become crucial therapeutic procedure to
ameliorate presiding defects and anomalies. However, owing to excessive
pervasive nature of conventional cosmetic surgery, dental lasers have
rightfully emerged as ideal substitutes. Besides rendering impeccable smiles,
dental health, and perfectly structured teeth, laser enabled cosmetic surgeries
offer superlative comfort and aseptic surgical settings.
With
maiden application in 2013, Solea carbon dioxide all tissue laser has
significantly revolutionized dental treatments, inclusive of cosmetic surgery.
This unique laser process is completely eliminates need for anesthesia. The
advantages are diverse, one prominent one entailing pediatric dentistry. With
surged incidences of pediatric dental problems, this latest innovation in dental
lasers is anticipated to impact favorably.
