Er:YAG & Nd:YAG dual wavelength laser From everyday dentistry to advanced photoacoustic endodontic applications (PIPS)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Lasers represent a real quantum leap forward in the treatment of our patients, including the paediatric patient. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval for the use of the Er: YAG laser in 1997 for both hardand soft-tissue procedures. The erbium doped (erbium particles placed within the YAG crystal) crystal of Yttrium-AluminumGarnet’s (Er:YAG) development and success has made the treatment of children safer and quicker.

Eradication of microorganisms from an infected root canal before obturation is a primary focus of endodontic treatment, as well as the best predictor for the long-term success of the endodontic therapy. The purpose of this in vitro laboratory study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new tapered and stripped Er:YAG laser tip using PIPS (Photon Induced Photoacoustic Streaming) in root canals infec...

OBJECTIVES CO(2), Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers have been used in endodontic surgery. This in vitro study evaluated 1% Rhodamine B dye penetration using computer-assisted morphometry (ImageTool Software) of 108 endodontically treated human permanent canines. MATERIAL AND METHODS Teeth were divided into 9 groups according to the technique used: A: 90-degree apicoectomy with bur, root-end cavity pre...
متن کاملClinical Approach of High Technology Techniques for Control and Elimination of Endodontic Microbiota.
The main goal in endodontic treatment is to eradicate or at least reduce intraradicular microbial population to levels that are more compatible with periapical lesions healing process. Since endodontic infections are polymicrobial in nature, intraradicular survival of endodontic microbiota and their pathogenic properties are influenced by a combination of their virulence factors. The purpose of...

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 ...
