Abstract

Introduction: Laser therapy is a rapidly developing field based on innovative technology. The use of laser in dentistry has gained significant popularity because it offers precise, minimally invasive treatment methods that stand out from traditional techniques. Methodology: A theoretical study of the issue and relevant literature were analyzed. Results: Research highlits a wide range of advantages in odontology. It makes spreading and establishing minimally invasive treatment in laser therapy more demanding, increasing the health system's effectiveness. Conclusion: It is essential to understand a number of physical and biological processes, professional training of dentists to use laser therapy correctly and establish modern and current methods.
