520 4 |a When the first dental laser came on the market in the late 1980s, there was great excitement in the world of dentistry. Unfortunately, the laser wavelength for that first device was chosen because it was available, not because it was the best one for the purpose desired. Laser dentistry has come a long way since then, with accumulation of an extensive science base on laser interactions with both soft and hard tissues. In recent years, lasers have been developed for medicine and dentistry based on the best evidence to date, including the optimal conditions for these clinical applications. A whole new energy has emerged regarding the use of lasers in dentistry and much of it is captured in this second edition of Dr. Robert Convissar’s Principles and Practice of Laser Dentistry. Dr. Convissar is one of the pioneers of the clinical use of lasers in dentistry, with almost 25 years of experience with carbon dioxide, neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG), diode, and erbium wavelengths. He has presented more than 300 laser seminars on five continents. For this revised edition, he has brought together a team of authors whose knowledge base and skills are state of the art, for preparation of a treatise worth reading. In these days of electronic communication and indeed electronic books, journals, media, music, and much more, it is hard to imagine that yet another textbook could be useful. On the contrary, this is a great read for anyone who wants a comprehensive review of the world of lasers and their use in dentistry. The attentive reader will gain an understanding of how lasers work, how they interact with the tissues, and thus how best to apply this knowledge in clinical practice.
