Laser applications in dentistry may be used especially in soft-tissue procedures to support precise work and bleeding control. They can assist the dentist's clinical plan in gum contouring, selected periodontal support procedures and small soft-tissue interventions.

The area of use depends on tissue condition, procedure type and treatment goals. Laser does not need to replace conventional methods in every case; it is often considered as a supportive tool.

When used with the correct indication, laser support may improve procedural comfort and support healing. Before the application, the patient is examined and the treatment limits are clearly planned.
