      <abstract>
        <p>The application of laser technology in pediatric dentistry holds immense promise for improving the quality of care and treatment experiences for young patients. Laser technology offers efficient methods for diagnosing and addressing oral and dental issues in children, encompassing both soft and hard tissues. Research indicates that the use of lasers in restorative, pulpal, and surgical procedures enhance children__ampersandsign#39;s cooperation and results in better care quality. Different kinds of lasers, including laser fluorescence (LF), argon lasers, erbium lasers, and CO2 lasers, are used in a range of dental applications, such as identifying, preventing, and treating cavities, as well as performing various other dental procedures. Laser technology also offers benefits in endodontics, soft tissue applications, trauma management, pain relief, and orthodontics. However, the implementation of lasers requires specialized training, initial investment costs, and careful infection control measures. Despite these limitations, lasers hold the potential to become a standard approach in pediatric dentistry, revolutionizing the way oral and dental issues are diagnosed and treated in young patients.&#13;
