Aplicação do Laser na Cariologia: diagnóstico, prevenção e tratamento

Resumen

Nas últimas décadas, um dos grandes avanços na Área da Saúde foi o desenvolvimento dos aparelhos de Laser, que possibilitou uma nova abordagem nos procedimentos odontológicos. A Laserterapia tem diversas aplicabilidades na Cariologia, seja como método de diagnóstico, como auxiliar nas medidas preventivas ou como tratamento da cárie dentária. Portanto, o objetivo desta revisão é proporcionar uma leitura atualizada da aplicabilidade da Laserterapia na Cariologia e, para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão literária sistematizada, na base de dados MEDLINE – Pubmed, abrangendo os últimos anos. Mediante esse estudo literário e considerando a evolução dos estudos científicos, ainda existem controvérsias a respeito da eficácia clínica do Laser na Cariologia.

Descritores: Lasers; Cárie Dentária; Flúor.
