In order to fulfill its claim to be a scientific-oriented, science-based dental society, the German Society for Laser Dentistry has chosen the motto “Evidence-based Dentistry” for this year’s annual congress. It is undisputable that laser application has not met the qualitative demands of evidence-based dentistry for many years. Instead, laser dentistry has developed from therapeutically useful and successful applications. In spite of this, already since it was founded, DGL has always aimed at supporting scientific-based laser applications in dentistry. This objective, the associated efforts and gradual successes have finally led to DGL being fully integrated within the German Society of Dental, Oral and Craniomandibular Sciences (DGZMK) which is the scientific umbrella organization of all dental societies...

The Therapeutic laser is a new tool which can be a boon to the dental practice. Laser Therapy is also known as Photo-Biomodulation. It is based on the concept that certain low level doses of specific coherent wavelengths can turn on or turn off certain cellular components or functions. Administering laser therapy to patients helps in healing, reducing pain, swelling and controlling oral infections...
As bacterial contamination is considered the primal etiologic factor for the development of pulpal and periapical lesions, to obtain the root canal system free of irritants has been showing to be the primordial endodontic therapy goal.1-3 ...
The Er:YAG laser was first proposed in 1990 by Hibst and Keller to ablate hard dental tissues. Today it is employed in conservative dentistry as an alternative to rotating instruments.1, 2 A study based on patient questionnaires demonstrated that, in term of satisfaction, Er:YAG dental treatment represents an effective technique that may improve patient cooperation and diminish fears associated with the dental office, particularly in pediatric patients.3 This is also a reason to suggest its application in the field of orthodontics, where cooperation and good relationships between the patient and operator are strictly necessary for full success of a treatment. In this paper we describe the utilisation of the Er:YAG laser in the bonding and debonding steps of orthodontic treatments...
Xerostomia causes patient suffering from the limitation of daily life activities. Still, there has been no definite treatment for this, particularly its variant induced by aging. This case report presents the method of treating xerostomia using low intensity laser therapy and medication...
The use of alternating electric current for bloodless interventions in the oral soft tissues has been established for nearly a century, first in the form of the electric knife (cauter), then later as radiofrequency devices. Laser devices were introduced in the 1980s as new, additional tools and they have strongly gained in importance today. One particular question often emerges: What are the similarities between diode lasers and radiofrequency generators and what makes them different? What is their value for dental applications?...

Non-precious metal alloys (NEM) are enjoying increased demand in dental technology. Additive manufacturing with laser melting ensures the uniformity and accuracy of ceramic-veneered, non-precious metal restorations created from dust and light. Are the traditional manufacturing processes of dental technicians, such as casting and milling, making a comeback? We spoke with Master Dental Technician Dieter Spitzer of Unicim, a manufacturer of dental restorations based in Berschis in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen.
