Abstract
Un-erupted maxillary incisors can have a major impact on dental and facial aesthetics and when they don’t erupt at the expected time it is prudent for the clinician to determine the etiology and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Lasers such as the argon, diode, Nd: YAG, CO2 and erbium have enabled dentists to reduce patient stress and fear during dental treatment and hence lasers represent a phenomenal change in pediatric dentistry. This article provides an overview of the diode laser in guiding the un-erupted upper incisors into occlusion in mixed dentition.
