ABSTRACT
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation stands for LASER. The field of dentistry is revolutionised by the recent advances in laser technology. The excited atom stimulates emission of photons, which triggers the release of a subsequent photon is responsible for the generation of collimated, coherent, monochromatic beam of light or LASER. It is considered as light scalpel. Development in laser is tremendous with more specific for hard tissue and soft tissue treatments such as biopsy, photo biomodulation and photodynamic therapy by jus altering their wavelength. Treatment procedure of oral soft tissue lesion using laser with minimal pain and blood less field and ease of post operative healing is fortunate in the field of oral medicine and radiology to make these as chair side procedures.
Keywords: Laser, oral mucosal lesions, Low level laser therapy, Photobiomodulation, Photodynamic therapy.
