Laser Plume: The Severity of Surgical Smoke and Safety Management

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Laser technology has revolutionized various fields, including dentistry. Dentistry uses lasers for enamel and dentin removal, cavity preparation, tooth whitening, gingival depigmentation, gingivectomy, frenectomy, and other periodontal treatments. Despite its growing popularity and effectiveness in dentistry, laser treatment has a notable drawback: the emission of hazardous laser plumes. To mitigate health risks, it is crucial to prevent the emission of hazardous laser plumes. Effective controls must be implemented to mitigate and manage laser plumes.
