Lasers : a Ray towards Periodontics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theodore maiman in 1960 invented the ruby laser, since then lasers technology has holded the attention in dental practice and has revolutionised dental treatment. Lasers have been used in initial periodontal therapy, surgery, and also in implant treatment. Lasers have various periodontal applications including calculus removal; for removal of the pocket epithelium; soft tissue excision, incision and ablation; decontamination of root and implant surfaces; biostimulation; bacteria reduction; and osseous surgery. Further research is necessary on lasers so that it can become a part of the dental procedures. This paper gives an acuity to laser in Periodontics.

High Intensity Lasers in Periodontics: A Review
Background and Aim: Lasers can serve as a new powerful tool in dentistry. High intensity laser therapy is becoming the treatment of choice compared with conventional periodontal therapy due to accurate incision and soft and hard tissue ablation, hemostasis, reduction of postoperative pain and infection, optimal debridement, and enhanced healing. Although high intensity laser therapy assumes to ...

متن کاملLaser Application in Periodontics
Introduction: The use of lasers for treatment has become a common phenomenon in the medical field. Currently, numerous laser systems are available for dental use. The use of lasers for periodontal treatment becomes more complicated because the periodontium consists of both hard and soft tissues. Methods: Related articles were gathered and selected carefully and reviewed. Among the many lasers a...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
