Soft Tissue Applications of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser in Pediatric Dentistry
International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2017 ABSTRACTSoft tissue laser, such as diode and Nd:YAG lasers were initially used in soft tissue lesions because of its increased success rate. It was because of the fact that these lasers were well-absorbed by chromophores, such as hemoglobin and melanin which are found abundant in the oral mucosa. The introduction of erbium family in 1990 comprising the
