Abstract

Laser-assisted techniques are gaining popularity in pediatric dentistry due to reduced pain and faster healing. This study compared laser-assisted and conventional extractions in 60 children needing deciduous tooth removal. Pain levels, procedure time and healing were the main outcomes analyzed. Laser-assisted methods showed significantly less pain and quicker recovery. Thus, we show further research into laser techniques to enhance comfort and compliance in children.

Keywords

Laser dentistry, pediatric dentistry, deciduous tooth extraction, diode laser, minimally invasive surgery, postoperative pain, healing.
