Knowledge Attitude and Practice among Dental Practitioners Regarding Electrosurgery Using Lasers in Dentistry

Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) alternating polarity, electrical current to biological tissue as a means to cut, desiccate or fulgurate a tissue. Its benefits include the ability to make precise cuts with limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices are frequently used during surgical operations helping to prevent blood loss in hospital operating rooms or in outpatient procedures. In electrosurgical procedures the tissue is heated by electric current.
