ABSTRACT
Alternative methods for prevention and treatment of dental caries are presented, based on the use of laser and magnetic laser exposure (patent No. 2053818, in Russia) with a new generation laser device with Optodan microprocessor monitoring (patent No. 2014107, Russia). The methods are intended for wide clinical application in children and adolescents in pedodontic departments and outpatient centers and particularly for group and individual use in dental rooms at school.

A method of laser prevention of periodontal complications in patients with whole-cast and cermet dentures is described. Optodan automated laser physiotherapeutic device made in Russia was employed. Exposure was performed at a wavelength 0.85 mm, power 4 W, and frequency 0.8-2 kHz. The prevention was effective in 97% patients.
