LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” 
The instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam. This laser
light produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to remove or shape the
tissue.

It is used in dentistry to treat a number of different dental conditions. Compared
to drills and other non-laser equipment, laser dentistry can provide a more convenient
treatment choice for a variety of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue.

Using Laser in dentistry is meant to treat various conditions such as:

 * treating hypersensitivity
 * treating tooth decay
 * treating gum disease
 * whitening teeth

Lasers specifically designed and developed for dental work or oral surgery have 
been in wide use since the early 1990s. For this reason, Dental Medical Diode Laser
[SIFLASER-3.0](https://sifsof.com/product/dental-medical-diode-laser-siflaser-3-0/),
and [SIFLASER-4.0](https://sifsof.com/product/android-dentistry-diode-laser-system-siflaser-4-0/)
are highly recommended to our dentist clients. In which, they surves dentistry professionals
in various applications.

The dental medical laser SIFLASER-3.0 is designed with a color touch screen, wireless
foot control and customizable pre-set protocols .It gratifies dentists and hygienists
an effective and affordable laser for their practice.

SIFLASER-3.0 is a clinical tool that offers a wide range of clinical treatment possibilities
as they are capable of creating precision cuts in gingiva and other soft tissues
while also eliminating bleeding at the site and reducing the healing time for the
patient.

It  is the most reasonable but advanced laser available for soft tissue dental applications,
the special wavelength has high absorption in water and haemoglobin combines precise
cutting properties with immediate coagulation. 
With 10KHz frequency, it can cut
the soft tissue very fast and smoothly with less blood and less pain than ordinary
dental surgery devices. Aside from an application in soft tissue surgery, it is 
also used for other treatments such as decontamination, biostimulation and tooth
whitening.

Whereas, the Diode Laser System SIFLASER-4.0 is ideal for coagulation, vaporization
and bloodless surgery due to its peak sucking in hemoglobin and its permeability
in water. The blue laser light from the SIFLASER-4.0 interacts better with tissue
components like hemoglobin and melanin. Allows for better and softer cutting, even
at lower strength, at 450 nm. Thanks to its improved cutting efficiency, it’s ideal
for both surgical applications and hemostasis.

In terms of infection prevention, wound healing control, drainage control, and vibration
control in hard tissue expulsion, lasers are a valuable addition to dental care.
