Laser technology has been an integral part of dentistry since 1994, addressing various dental issues. While no laser system has received the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance, denoting compliance with ADA safety and efficacy standards, the ADA remains cautiously optimistic about the prospects of laser technology in dentistry. It's essential to note that dental lasers differ from the cold lasers used in phototherapy for pain relief and inflammation.
