Effect of Defocused CO2 Laser on Equine Tissue Perfusion

Effects of CO2 laser treatment on fibroblast attachment to root surfaces. A scanning electron microscopy analysis.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the CO2 laser effects on root surfaces affected by periodontal disease in comparison to scaling and root planing for fibroblast attachment. METHODS Thirty single-rooted human teeth extracted because of advanced periodontal disease were included in this study. A total of 60 specimens, obtained from all selected teeth, were randomly assigned to 3 ...

The Ablation Properties of CO2 Laser Irradiating to Absorption Media: An In Vitro Study

This study aimed to compare histological affected zone of tissue samples irradiated by defocused CO(2) laser at 1, 2, and 3W continuous wave with and without absorption media. The in vitro experiment was conducted in 70 tissue blocks. The samples were randomly allocated into 7 groups: 10 samples each group, namely, the groups irradiated with 1, 2, and 3W, defocused CO(2) laser for 5 seconds, th...

Study of Fibroblast Cells Behavior on the Acrylic Acid Co2 Pulsed Laser Grafted Silicone Elastomer for Tissue Engineering Application

The outcome of CO2 laser root conditioning in periodontal treatment

The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate periodontal tissue repair after CO2 laser applications in the treatment of severe periodontal defects. Five patients, three men and two women, age range 37 to 55 years, were enrolled. All of the participants in the study were in good general health and presented with at least one tooth with PD of 6 to 9 mm and bleeding on probing. At baseline, all...

Treatment of scars after aesthetic surgery utilizing of a combination of pulsed dye laser and fractional CO2 laser

Background and Aim: Undesirable appearance of the scar tissue after aesthetic surgery can affect the outcomes and patient satisfaction. In recent years, early laser therapy had been encouraged to reduce the scar tissue formation. However, the available evidence regarding the outcomes of laser therapy utilizing combined lasers are limited. In the current study, the effects of combined laser ther...
