used in conjunction with or as a replacement for traditional methods, it is expected that specific laser technologies will become an essential component of contemporary dental practice over the next decade. the current review is designed to focus on the acid resistance of laser application and tries to introduce laser settings capable to achieve this feature for clinical application. applicatio...

To enhance lasers’ power and improve their performance, a model wasapplied for the waveguide design of 400 nm InGaN/InGaN semiconductor laser, whichis much easier to implement. The conventional and new laser structures weretheoretically investigated using simulation software PICS3D, which self-consistentlycombines 3D simulation of carrier transport, self-heating, and opt...

Background: Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit very unique physiochemical and optical properties, which now are extensively studied in a range of medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. AuNPs can be used for cancer clinical treatment with minimal invasion. On the other hand, curcumin is a polyphenol derived from turmeric which is used for medical purposes due to its anti...

The first application of the violet diode laser for laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection in capillary electrophoresis is reported. Operating at 405 nm with an output power of 5 mW, this laser offers many advantages over conventional red diode lasers operating at 635 nm. We demonstrate the suitability of the violet diode laser for LIF detection by detecting amino acids labeled with naphtha...

This report presents an overview of the Diode Laser; its construction, function and application. Lasers in the form of laser diodes are in widespread use today. Diode lasers are used in a large number of industrial applications; the most prevalent use of the laser diode is probably in CD and DVD drives for computers and audio/video media systems. Diode lasers are also used in many other applica...

In this paper, an injection-seeded nanosecond optical parametric generation (OPG) using BBO crystal, which combines relatively low thresholds with a simple and compact configuration, was demonstrated. By seeding externally distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser at 1313 nm wavelength, pumped by 355 pulse, the maximum blue output power of 1.36 W rate 100 Hz linewidth less than 0.13 were obtained,...

Laser equipment is capable of performing ablation and incision while providing hemostasis, and is widely used in intraoral surgery where bleeding can often occur(1). One of the oldest types of laser equipment is CO2 laser. The wavelength of CO2 laser (10.6 μm) is strongly absorbed by water, which means that CO2 laser is suitable for efficient ablation and incision of soft tissues that contain l...

AIM To compare the use of the 810nm diode laser with conventional surgery in the management of soft tissue mucogingival problems associated with orthodontic treatment. METHODS Orthodontic patients requiring different soft tissue surgical procedures were randomly assigned to receive conventional surgery or soft tissue diode laser, (wavelength 810 nm). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Parameters documen...
