This guide focuses on one of the emerging methods, lasers, in the field of oral medicine. Lasers were introduced into dentistry in the 1960s by Miaman, leading to ongoing research regarding various applications of lasers in dental practice.

Lasers have potential analgesic, biostimulatory, and immunomodulatory effects, as well as the ability to enhance healing compared to other conventional treatment methods. In oral medicine, lasers have broader applications in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders, possibly malignant disorders, candidiasis, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, stomatitis, chemotherapy-induced candidiasis, and mucositis.
