歯科におけるレーザー研究に重要な基礎知識

抄録

Many dentists and researchers have carried out applied medical research to develop and promote laser dentistry. To ensure a systematic understanding, it is essential to compare research results consistently, and to summarize experimental results using important laser parameters to enable other researchers to correctly compare their results. This paper is intended for less experienced researchers who are engaged in medical and/or dental fields, describes the fundamentals of lasers (such as laser oscillation, laser instruments, laser parameters, and laser-tissue interactions), and summarizes experimental results of laser processing and/or laser dentistry.
