Manipal Hospital Goa has introduced a Centre for Advanced Laser Dentistry under its Department of Dental Medicine, in association with NOVOLASE Technologies, offering laser-based dental procedures and therapies.
The technology was introduced through a Continuing Dental Education programme featuring laser specialists Dr Jnanashree Bhat and Dr Ratna Kumari. It offers greater precision, reduced discomfort, minimal bleeding and faster tissue recovery.
The centre will also provide Photobiomodulation (PBM) to reduce pain and inflammation, and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to target harmful microorganisms. These therapies may benefit cancer patients, post-surgical and trauma patients, and those with neuralgia and TMJ disorders, said Hospital Director Surendra Prasad.
