β¦ Synopsis
A review was conducted to determine specific areas of application of the argon laser to dentistry. When appropriate, comparisons between the argon laser and other treatment methods were made. It was concluded that the argon laser has applicability in composite resin placement, in enamel and dentin bonding procedures, in preventive dental therapies, and in endodontic procedures.
