چکیده

The laser-induced fluorescence can be used to detect and diagnose dental caries, calculus and bacterial biofilms in dental applications. As such the molecular fluorescence phenomenon has been illustrated scientifically and the literatures relating the fluorescence properties of dental tissues have been explored till the literature reviews ultimately led up to the development of the current Laser Fluorescence (LF) devices. These LF devices have been introduced clinically for dental caries, calculus and bacterial detection to replace inaccurate contemporary detection tools. The future for LF technologies in diagnostic dentistry has been indicated as accurate and potentially applicable in a wide range in restorative dentistry, periodontology and endodontics.

Mixing of the Immiscible Liquids in the Entrance Region of a T-Type Chamber Using Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) Method

A Laser Induced Fluorescence technique (LIF) has been used to study the mixing behavior of two emerging streams in a T-Type mixing chamber. A mixing index on the basis of digital image light intensities is calculated. It has been shown that averaging over more than 800 images leads to a stable mixing index calculation. Moreover, the effect of equal and un-equal flow rates on the mixing behavior...

Characterization and Corrosion Behavior of Hydroxyapatite- Coated Titanium Substrates Prepared Through Laser Induced Liquid Deposition Technique

Titanium and titanium alloys are often used in orthopedic surgery and dentistry because of their especial characteristics such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. However, their bio- inertness is the most serious drawback for biomedical applications. Therefore, a bioactive coating like hydroxyapatite (HA) is coated on their surface. In this regard, in the prese...

Evaluation of Diagnodent Accuracy in Detecting Approximal Caries in Primary Molars

Introduction: Detection of caries lesions on approximal surfaces of posterior teeth is difficult, since wide contact points hamper direct visual inspection. Due to the importance of the early detection of dental caries, the aim of this study is to compare the performance of different methods (visual, bitewing radiography and DIAGNOdent) in detecting approximal caries in primary molars. Methods:...

Comparison of Soft Tissue Thermal Changes Induced by Three Types of Diode Lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm Wavelengths

Background and Aim: Diode laser is a great choice for soft tissue surgery. The diode laser is partially absorbed by hard dental tissues, making it safe for soft tissue surgery. This study aimed to compare the tissue thermal changes induced by three types of diode lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm wavelengths. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, using a diode laser device (c...

Optical Spectroscopic Methods to Discriminate in-Vitro Hodgkin Cancerous and Normal Tissues

Simultaneous laser induced- breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and acoustic response techniques as well as Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) are applied to investigate the abnormal lymph tissues due to Hodgkin disease. The spectral shift in the emissive fluorescence of the cancerous tissues has been observed respect to the normal ones. Regarding LIBS, the concentrations of Ca and Na trace elements ha...
