Abstract
Pediatric Dentistry requires methodology for fearless, painless, safe treatment with less time and convenient postoperative care. Laser treatment satisfies these conditions, making it very effective for the pediatric patients. Presently He-Ne laser has the high ability of healing the wound so that it is being used for pulp therapy. CO2 laser or Nd:YAG laser is being used for dental caries prevention, which gives the acid resistance to the enamel. Moreover CO2 laser is being mainly used for soft tissue problems; because the haemostasis can be immediately achieved during the surgery and the patient experience good wound healing with little or no pain post operation. Er:YAG laser has made it possible to prepare the cavity without pain by ablation of dental hard tissue. Hence all these modes offer a high quality treatment for child patients.
