## TL;DR

This study shows that laser-assisted surgery reduces pain and speeds up recovery for children undergoing baby tooth removal.

## Contribution

The study provides empirical evidence supporting the use of lasers in pediatric dental extractions for improved patient comfort.

## Key findings

- Laser-assisted extractions caused significantly less pain in children.
- Recovery time was quicker with laser-assisted methods compared to conventional techniques.

## Abstract

Laser-assisted techniques are gaining popularity in pediatric dentistry due to reduced pain and faster healing. This study compared
laser-assisted and conventional extractions in 60 children needing deciduous tooth removal. Pain levels, procedure time and healing were
the main outcomes analyzed. Laser-assisted methods showed significantly less pain and quicker recovery. Thus, we show further research
into laser techniques to enhance comfort and compliance in children.
