The American Academy of Pediatric dentistry (AAPD) recognised the judicious use of lasers as a beneficial instrument in providing dental restorative and soft tissue procedures for infants, children, and adolescence including those with special health care needs, through the development of this policy by the Council on Clinical Affairs in 2013. Lasers have been used in dental operators since 1987 and since then laser technology has advanced significantly. Lasers in paediatric dentistry is a boon since it causes less pain, has an analgesic effect on hard tissue, is vibration less, thus making the child patient comfortable and anxiety less.
