Unerupted Tooth Exposure Using Two Complementary Wavelengths

Carlo Fornaini, MD, DDS, MSc., Professor in Lasers and Medicine

It is paramount to avoid excessive bleeding in unerupted tooth exposure to ensure strong bracket adhesion. In addition, practitioners are often faced with the challenge of having to gain access to the tooth through bone. Prof. Fornaini's case study demonstrates how the use of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers can minimize invasiveness and procedure time by taking advantage of their complementary characteristics.
