Lasers are used both as assistive as well as completely independent evidence-based tools in practically every field of dentistry, especially in terms of a multi-wave concept.

From following any of the available dental laser curricula, it becomes clear that the optimal result of a particular dental laser therapy is achieved when two wavelengths are included in the treatment protocol. In the text that follows, the most widely used applications of the TwinLight^TM treatment concept in dentistry are reviewed.

Key words: Er:YAG; Nd:YAG, TwinLight^TM
