Nowadays laser is extensively used in various industrial, communicative, medical, and other fields. Using laser in medicine has enabled physicians to perform the most accurate and finest operations within few minutes. Non-observance of safety points during laser performance could be seriously harmful for the medical staff and the patient. Therefore, in order to prevent the possible damage of th...

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) or familial benign pemphigus is a rare genetic condition, characterized by recurrent blisters and erosions, with predilection for intertriginous areas. There no specific treatment HHD. Topical systemic tends to provide temporary remission. Alternative (surgical interventions, such as dermabrasion, excision, laser) has been shown prolong Considering the risk of compli...

Laser is considered basically effective for treating periodontal diseases because of its excellent physical properties namely ablation, hemostasis, bacterial killing and cell stimulation. The current laser application mainly used for the treatment of periodontitis is high-power laser ablation (HLLT). Laser ablation of diseased periodontal tissues using the HLLT is widely performed, partly expec...

Recurrent infection with herpes simplex virus is a common disease. Recently, alternative therapies have been introduced. Among those, low-intensity laser therapy mainly used for the acceleration of wound healing and in pain therapy has previously been shown to be of benefit in herpes zoster infections. In this study we evaluated the influence of low-intensity laser therapy (wavelength 690 nm, i...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Genital warts, due to specific types of the human papillomavirus, have long been regarded as one of the most important causes of cervical cancer and one of the most common cause of Sexually Transmited Diseases (STDs). Over the years, it has been the focus of several studies in order to find the best effective approach to eradicate the virus, however there are still cont...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor in children. They have 3 phases of development: a proliferative phase, an involuting phase, and involution. Although active treatment is often not required, it is necessary in some cases. Of the possible treatments for hemangiomas, lasers have been shown to be effective in all phases of development. We report our e...

PURPOSE To investigate the biologic effect of an 810 nm diode laser on the induction of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in choroid-retinal endothelial cells in vitro. METHODS Cultured rhesus macaque choroid-retinal endothelial cells (RF/6A) were irradiated using an 810 nm diode laser (spot size, 10 mm; duration, 60 s; power, 400-1,500 mW). Cell viability was assessed by annexin V- fluorescein i...

BACKGROUND Melasma is a facial dyspigmentation which is a common complaint in patients with darker skin tones. Many current therapies used for this condition are ineffective and can cause significant adverse effects. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of erbium:YAG laser resurfacing in the management of refractory melasma. METHODS Ten female patients with melasma u...

Xerostomia or feeling of dry mouth is the most common (80%) all complications radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Besides well-known artificial saliva agents therapies stimulating production salivary gland regeneration, new methods comprise use vitamins C E, low-level laser therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy thyme honey. Recently, transplantation mesenchymal stem cells was reported to be suc...

Abstract To date, the ultimate goal of bioprinting is to create autologous tissue grafts for future replacement therapies through utilization cells and biomaterials simultaneously. Bioprinting an additive manufacturing technology that has significant potential in biomedical field. Among main techniques, such as inkjet, laser extrusion bioprinting, laser-induced forward transfer technique (LIFT)...
