in this study, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (libs) is used for qualitative analysis of healthy and carious teeth. the technique of laser ablation is receiving increasing attention for applications in dentistry, specifically for the treatment of teeth such as drilling of micro-holes and plaque removal. in the process of ablation a luminous micro-plasma is normally generated which may be ...

Dentistry has a new weapon in the fight against tooth decay. This ‘light saber’ of dentistry is the erbium laser. The dental laser is the latest modern innovation for the 21st Century. Erbium lasers have proven safe and effective for the removal of tooth decay and cavity preparation, in addition to many soft tissue and hard tissue surgical procedures. The FDA approved the erbium laser for marke...

background: development of white spot lesions on enamel is a significant and common problem during the fixed orthodontic treatment. various preventive methods have been suggested. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the preventive potential of mi paste plus, er: yag laser and combined under similar in vitro conditions against demineralization. materials and methods: in this experimental i...

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) has been used widely in a range of biomedical and dental applications in recent years. In the field of restorative dentistry, various kinds of lasers have been developed for diagnostic (e.g. caries detection) and operative applications (e.g. tooth ablation, cavity preparation, restorations, bleaching). The main benefits for laser a...

Erbium-doped solid-state laser systems have become an established tool in dentistry. The two most commonly used Erbium lasers in dentistry are Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG, with a subtle but important difference in their respective laser wavelengths. There is also an important difference in the type of technology they utilize to energize the flashlamps. The conventional PFN (Pulse Forming Network) pul...

background bleaching of traumatized discolored teeth is considered an important issue in esthetic dentistry. various methods have been introduced for bleaching, some of which may have adverse effects on soft or hard tissues of the tooth. objectives the objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of ktp laser bleaching on enamel of traumatized teeth. materials and methods a square of 36 m...

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a technique in which, from heterogenous tissue specimen some pure cell populations are isolated. This procedure can and target the desired number of cells that required. A low energy laser pulse used this technique. Apart systemic applications LCM also be applied field dentistry pathology.
