What advantage do lasers have over conventional instrumentation when exposing implants?

Lasers are known for their ability to provide hemostatic assistance during procedures, which is a significant advantage when exposing implants. The energy emitted by a laser can effectively seal blood vessels and minimize bleeding during the surgical process, which helps maintain a clear surgical field. This hemostatic property allows for improved visibility and stability during the procedure, potentially reducing operative time and enhancing overall outcomes.

Moreover, the use of lasers can lead to less trauma to surrounding tissues compared to conventional instrumentation, which can cause more bleeding and require additional interventions to control it. This is particularly beneficial in delicate surgeries involving implants, where maintaining a dry and stable environment is critical for the success of the implantation process.
