The laser was integrated into the medical sciences in the 70s and is constantly evolving. In the dental market we find high power lasers, such as the Argon, Diode, Nd: YAG, Er, Cr: YSGG, Er: YAG and CO2 lasers. The most highlighting applications of the diode laser are in soft tissues and the Erbium laser are for hard tissues. Among the advantages of high-power lasers is to accelerate healing and the expression of collagens, disinfection of root canals in pulpectomies, and a decrease in dental permeability. In Pediatric dentistry, we must highlight the cavity preparation which generates the reduction in working time and an increase in patient collaboration due to the reduction/elimination of pain in procedures; such as avoiding the application of anesthesia. The points to be evaluated for the health professional is the cost/benefit and the necessary training to carry out the procedures wi...

Oral habits are responsible for many dentoalveolar and soft tissue disorders. Knowledge of the management of these is of vital importance for the clinician. The purpose of this review is to search in the scientific literature, the management of the most common oral habits, in order to create a treatment guide that helps the clinician in their management. Methods: 121 articles were revised from the databases Pubmed, Cochrane library, Ebsco, Scielo and Google Scholar. Systematic reviews, meta analysis, randomized clinical trials and clinical guides were prioritized in the search, with a publish date not greater than 5 years. After the final review and selection, 45 articles were used. The search was carried out in English and Spanish, using the keywords for the topics: non-nutritive sucking, atypical swallowing, mouth breathing, bruxism, and lip sucking or biting. Conclusions: the manageme...
