Sažetak
HF Laser, the new instrument in the field of soft tissue surgery will be presented. Amazing composition of high frequency, diode laser and therapeutic laser (LLLT) in the single instrument is intriguing for the clinician. High frequency technology (HF) has been consequently developed since the seventies, with significant advancements over conventional electro surgery. HF is a unspectacular technology, but well known and accepted in surgical applications by most of the dentists. HF surgery produces fine, scalpel-like cuts without pressure and risk of necrosis. The wound edges are cut sharp and sterile, so healing is quick and virtually pain-free. Laser devices have gained in importance since the eighties and they are often claimed to be omni-use instruments. Though many applications turned out to be impracticable, an unwaning interest in this technique has remained to date. The broad spectrum of applications for the diode laser means that it is now the most widely used device in laser dentistry. Diode lasers offer an interesting – but not unlimited – field of application in modern dentistry including periodontology, endodontics and soft tissue treatment. LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) is the application of red and near infra-red light over injuries or lesions to improve wound and soft tissue healing, reduce inflammation and give relief for both acute and chronic pain. LLLT is used to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair ; resolve inflammation and relieve pain (analgesia). The effects of LLLT are photochemical (like photosynthesis in plants). When the correct intensity and treatment times are used, red and near infrared light reduces oxidative stress and increases ATP. This improves cell metabolism and reduce inflammation. The soft laser offers the dentist several interesting fields of application.
