Abstract
Laser dentistry is a promising field within modern, minimally invasive dentistry and it also provides a “child-friendly” approach. This technology has greatly changed pediatric dentistry by offering precise, minimally invasive and comfortable alternatives to traditional methods. Recent advancements, including the integration of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and innovative delivery systems, have expanded treatment options and improved patient experiences. Thus, this comprehensive review examines the current state, recent innovations and future directions of laser applications in pediatric dentistry, highlighting their impact on care for young patients.
