A laser is a highly focused beam of light. Lasers have many applications in various industries, including both medicine and dentistry.

The DEKA Nd: YAG laser is a recent innovation from the brand DEKA. It uses a man-made crystal and a high intensity lamp, along with a device known as a resonator, to create a laser that to penetrate deep into the tissues of the human body.

Depending on the settings used, the Nd: YAG laser can be used for surgical procedures; it is very efficient at creating precise incisions in soft tissues. However, it also has non-surgical applications. For example, it can be used to treat TMJ disorder.

During treatment for TMD, the laser can be applied to the body’s exterior. It can produce heat that penetrates into the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). It has a remarkable biostimulation effect, which means that it can activate and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. It has the potential to rebuild bone and tissue within damaged TMJs.
