The sun and sunlight have always been associated with health, well-being and vitality. Already in ancient Greece and ancient China, sun exposure and sun gazing were recommended as part of therapy. Temples were also built – “hospitals” in which the rooms were painted in different colors. Patients stayed in appropriate rooms depending on the disease they suffered from. In India, before exposing the patient to the sun, they smeared him with vegetable oils.
In those years, there was no scientific evidence confirming the beneficial effects of light on health, but it was considered an indisputable fact and was effectively used in therapy. Today, it is known that the human body converts light into electrochemical energy, which activates a series of biochemical reactions in cells, causing a therapeutic effect.
The use of solar radiation in treatment was also popular in the 19th century. The discovery of the benefits of heliotherapy is the merit of the Danish physician Niels Ryberg Finsen, who studied the ways of using light in medicine, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1903. He proposed sun treatment of skin diseases (including lupus erythematosus). In the 20th century, artificial radiators such as therapeutic lamps and other devices emitting various types of radiation were introduced. Irradiation, especially with ultraviolet radiation, was widely used before the invention of certain drugs, including antibiotics. Currently, so-called phototherapy concerns the use of specific, narrow ranges of radiation and the use of photosensitizers. In the 1960s, laser therapy began to be used – irradiation with laser radiation.
Practitioners and researchers began to explore the clinical applications of CO2 and Nd:YAG medical lasers for oral soft tissue procedures in the 1980s, when the first pulsed Nd:YAG laser designed specifically for the dental market was introduced. In 1997, the FDA approved the first true Er:YAG laser for dental hard tissue, followed a year later by Er,Cr:YSGG. In the late 1990s, semiconductor-based diode lasers also appeared.
In dentistry, lasers are used in periodontology, endodontics, dental surgery, diagnostics, tooth whitening, root canal sterilization, etc. Some dentists use lasers, for example, to stop bleeding in the surgical field. Laser stimulation can accelerate the healing process of changes in the oral mucosa. These devices are also often used for frenulum plasty. This type of procedure is less invasive and painful for the patient, and the wound heals much faster. The laser has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-swelling effects, supports healing and stimulates microcirculation. Performing surgical procedures with a laser does not cause bleeding and does not require or requires minimal anesthesia.
The word laser is an acronym derived from English, meaning Light Amplified by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.

The SMART M ST diode laser uses five complementary wavelengths (405nm + 635nm + 808nm + 980nm + 1064nm) creating the most comprehensive device of this type that can be used in every dental office. The 635nm wavelength used in the SMART M ST laser shows excellent photobiological effects, using high transmission in water. This wavelength is also optimally matched to photochemical effects and local ozone therapy by activating toluidine blue.
The 980nm wave at low average power and high power density is used in precise thermal procedures such as: microsurgery, vaporization and coagulation. For the 980nm wavelength in the SMART M ST laser , the effects of cutting or vaporizing tissue are also the fastest compared to other lasers used in surgical practice such as 808nm or 1064nm.
In addition, the 980nm wave at high average power and low power density can be used to perform medical whitening procedures. The 980nm wave together with the 1064nm wave are widely used for thermal therapy of joint, tendon and muscle pain. Pain therapy can be performed together or independently with each of the lasers. In addition, the 1064nm wave at low average power and high power density is used in endodontic procedures, where it works great in procedures to reduce bacteria from the root canal system, i.e. the so-called. disinfection of canals, in periodontology for disinfection of gingival pockets and reduction of microorganisms located in the tissue epithelium, the so-called deepitalization of the epithelial attachment.
The 808nm wave is used in deep tissue biomodulation: this wavelength penetrates the deepest tissues, causing faster and more efficient repair of cells located in subcutaneous tissues. Deep tissue regeneration treatment, bone stimulation, remodeling and repair, reduction of chronic and acute pain.
