Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG dental lasers are capable of:

Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG dental lasers are primarily known for their versatility in dental procedures, particularly in the area of soft tissue excisions. These types of lasers generate high-energy bursts that can precisely remove or shape tissue without significant thermal damage to surrounding areas. This precision allows for more accurate excisions and can minimize discomfort for patients, making them effective tools in oral surgeries involving soft tissues.

While both types of lasers offer capabilities that can contribute to hemostasis due to their ability to cauterize blood vessels as they cut, which can be useful during soft tissue procedures, the primary focus of their application is on soft tissue excisions. Given their efficacy in removing tissue while promoting healing, they are highly valued in modern dentistry for procedures involving the gums and other soft tissue components.
