Abstract(s)
A finalidade principal da odontologia reside no tratamento de lesões da cavidade oral
preservando o máximo possível de estruturas saudáveis. Para cumprir os princípios da
medicina dentária minimamente invasiva é necessário tirar o máximo proveito dos
conhecimentos e das tecnologias disponíveis, nomeadamente do Laser.
O laser, utilizado de forma adequada, é capaz de assegurar o diagnóstico precoce e o
tratamento quase atraumático da cárie dentária, permitindo também a regeneração de tecidos.
O objectivo deste estudo é analisar a informação publicada sobre as aplicações desta
tecnologia nos tecidos duros dentários, destacando as vantagens e desvantagens quando
comparada com os métodos convencionais. Para tal foi efetuada uma pesquisa com critérios
objectivos em bases de dados científicamente validadas.
Há algum consenso na utilização do laser na abordagem da hipersensibilidade dentinária e na
remoção selectiva de tecido cariado. Serão necessários mais estudos para poder comprovar a
sua eficácia noutras funcionalidades.
The main purpose of dentistry is to treat lesions of the oral cavity preserving as much as possible of healthy structures. In order to comply with the principles of minimally invasive dental medicine it is necessary to take full advantage of the available knowledge and technologies, such as Laser. The laser, used properly, is capable of ensuring the early diagnosis and almost atraumatic treatment of dental caries, also allowing tissues regeneration. The goal of this study is to analyze the information published about the applications of this technology in hard dental tissues, highlighting advantages and disadvantages when compared with conventional methods. For this purpose a research was carried out with objective criteria in scientifically validated databases. There is some consensus on using lasers to approach tooth hypersensitivity and selective removal of carious tissue. Further studies will be needed to be able to prove their effectiveness in other features.
