Resumo(s)
Nas últimas décadas, a utilização de LASER entre os cirurgiões orais e maxilofaciais tem vindo a crescer significativamente. A sua evolução dentro da especialidade não só alargou as atuais opções cirúrgicas de tratamento, como também contribuiu para uma variedade de novos procedimentos.
Os lasers são feixes intensos produzidos por emissão estimulada de radiação de uma fonte de luz sendo o seu efeito no tecido determinado pelo seu comprimento de onda e pela absorção específica do tecido.
Atualmente, são aplicados em várias especialidades da medicina dentária e especificamente na cirurgia oral, quer em procedimentos de tecidos duros como a osteotomia de estruturas ósseas, quer em procedimentos de tecidos moles, como a excisão de tumores e a excisão de biópsias.
A aplicação do laser tem implicações potenciais para um tratamento e uma cura mais rápida promovendo a redução da dor pós-operatória e a eliminação da necessidade de sutura. Através de uma resposta inflamatória inicial reduzida e de uma cicatrização superior dos tecidos moles, o tratamento de laser revela-se como uma alternativa promissora face aos instrumentos mecânicos convencionais. As vantagens que os lasers
possibilitam torna-os uma alternativa altamente vantajosa ao tratamento convencional e seguramente irão desempenhar um papel muito importante na prática dentária no futuro próximo.
A presente revisão narrativa tem como objetivo explicar os diversos procedimentos com os diferentes tipos de lasers, dentro da especialidade de cirurgia oral, as suas indicações, vantagens e limitações e a sua comparação com a técnica convencional. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica através do PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, Embase, Scielo e Cochrane.
In recent decades, the use of lasers among oral and maxillofacial surgeons has grown significantly. Its evolution within the specialty has not only broadened current surgical treatment options, but has also contributed to a variety of new procedures. Lasers are intense beams produced by the stimulated emission of radiation from a light source, and their effect on tissue is determined by their wavelength and tissue-specific absorption. Currently, they are applied in various specialties of dental medicine and specifically in oral surgery, both in hard tissue procedures such as osteotomy of bone structures and in soft tissue procedures such as excision of tumors and excision of biopsies. The application of laser treatment has potential implications for faster treatment and healing, promoting reduced postoperative pain and eliminating the need for suturing. Through a reduced initial inflammatory response and superior soft tissue healing, laser treatment is proving to be a promising alternative to conventional mechanical instruments. The advantages that lasers offer make them a highly advantageous alternative to conventional treatment and they will certainly play a very important role in dental practice in the near future. The aim of this narrative review is to explain the various procedures using different types of lasers within the specialty of oral surgery, their indications, advantages and limitations and their comparison with conventional techniques. To this end, a bibliographic search was carried out using PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, Embase, Scielo and Cochrane.
