The induced heat modeling using COMSOL software in nerve due to Nd: YAG laser irradiation

Effects of Nd: YAG laser irradiation on the adaptation of composite resins to root dentin.

One of the most important goals of the restoration of endodontically treated teeth with a composite resin post system is to achieve good adaptation of the composite material to dentin walls to prevent microleakage apically and coronally. In post core systems, to avoid microleakage between the dentin wall and resin material, laser irradiation may seem to be an alternative therapy for increasing ...

Weld Pool Control in Nd : YAG Laser

Subdermal Nd-YAG laser for axillary hyperhidrosis.

BACKGROUND Axillary hyperhidrosis is a common but difficult-to-treat condition with major social, labor, and emotional consequences. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to present the Nd-YAG laser as a safe and effective option for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2002 to April 2007, 17 patients (15 women and 2 men) with axillary hyperhidrosis were ...

Endoscopic Nd : YAG laser treatment ofrectosigmoid cancer

Forty nine patients with rectosigmoid carcinoma considered unsuitable for surgery underwent endoscopic Nd:YAG laser treatment for paliiation of symptoms and tumour eradication, if feasible. Altogether 25 (51%) of the lesions had distal margins less than 7 cm from the anus and 36 (73%) extended above the peritoneal reflection. In seven patients with tumours less than 3 cm in diameter, symptomati...

Nd-YAG Laser Treatment of Pilonidal Cysts

A 38 year-old girl with a recurrent suppurative pilonidal cyst was successfully treated causally with an Nd-YAG laser, and with no recurrence at the 3-month follow-up. A similar success is observed for another 15 consecutively treated patients, including suppurative cases. The effect could be attributable to the ability of the YAG-laser to operate at a wave-length of 1064 nm and to penetrate th...

Nd-YAG Laser Treatment for Tracheobronchial Obstruction

The Nd-YAG laser has good tissue penetration and coagulation effects thus has become an important weapon for photoresection of tracheobronchial obstructive lesions since 1980.Treatment of benign lesions including benign tumors and scar tissues using the Nd-YAG laser has good results. In the treatment of malignant tumors however, it has a lower effectivity rate when compared to benign lesions. F...
