LASER is an acronym “Light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation”. Laser is one of the most cap-
tivating technologies in dental practice. Albert Einstein theorized a phenomenon termed as “Stimulated emis-
sion’’, the principle on which all lasers work. All lasers are named based on the active medium that is responsible for
stimulating them. The active medium can be a gas, a liquid or a solid state crystal rod or a semiconductor (diode
lasers). These highly directional and monochromatic laser lights can be delivered on to target tissue as a continu-
ous wave, gated-pulse mode or free running pulse mode. Lasers are impressive potential treatment modality for
variety of clinical conditions.
