introduction: periodontitis is an inflammatory disease, for which, scaling and root planning (srp) is the common approach for non-surgical control of inflammation. using lasers is another approach in the first phase of periodontal treatment for control of inflammation. diode laser has some beneficial effects such as acceleration of wound healing, promotion of angiogenesis and augmentation of gr...

background: delivering the maximum dose to tumor while achieving the minimum dose delivery to normal tissue; is the most important goal in external radiotherapy. diode in vivo dosimetry is widely considered to be an important tool for quality improvement of patient care in external radiotherapy. uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within 5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by internat...

introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. it is a reactional response to minor trauma or chronic irritation and also might be related to hormonal changes. rarely, pg occurs extragingivally.the most common treatment of pg is surgical excision but alternative approaches such as laser excision have also been proposed. case report : herein...

introduction: the purpose of a desensitizing agent is a permanent coating or filling of dentin surface. morphological analysis in vitro of this treated surface is essential to understand the interaction between desensitizing agent and hypersensitive dentin. the aim was to evaluate the morphology of four dentin surface treated with desensitizing agents. methods: this was an in vitro laboratory s...

Introduction and Background: Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials, such as alumina, beryllia, or glassceramic, whose final characteristics are produced by subjection to high temperatures. Nanomaterials is a rapidly growing area of ceramics [1-3] and can be classified into the following categories: Nano-particles submicron or ultra micron size particles; Nano-fibers – nanometer (nm) siz...

the level of dental and oral hygiene on elementary school age children is very low, so it can be increasing the incidence of dental and oral diseases which caused by various microorganisms. moutwash can keep dental and oral hygiene, but many commercial mouthwash is still used alcohol as their ingredients, which can be giving side effects, therefore, we still needed used alternative mouthwash, w...

objective: curcumin is extracted from curcuma longa and regulates the intracellular signal pathways which control the growth of cancerous cell, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis. curcumin molecules have special intrinsic features that can target the intracellular enzymes, genome (dna) and messengers (rna). a wide range of studies have been conducted on the physicochemical traits and pharmaco...

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...

Optoelectronic hybrid bistability and multistability in an active interferometer using a laser diode are demonstrated experimentally. The active laser-diode interferometer is composed of a Twyman-Green interferometer with an electronic feedback circuit. By feeding back the interferometer output together with an external light input through a detector to control thelaser-diode injection current,...
