introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity, considered to be of non-neoplastic nature, often caused by constant low-grade trauma as well as poor oral hygiene and maybe due to hormonal disturbances. surgical excision, and removal of underlying cause in some cases, is the preferred method of treatment as it is only a benign lesion. in order to remove th...

introduction: implant bed preparation with laser is taken into consideration owing to the increased interest in use of lasers in hard tissue surgery. the purpose of this study is to determine the deviations in the position and inclination between the planned and prepared implant beds with erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (er,cr: ysgg) laser using stereolithographic (sla) s...

introduction: the aim of this study was to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (lllt) on pain, swelling and maximum mouth opening in patients undergoing third molar surgery. methods: a prospective, randomized double-blind study was undertaken on 44 patients at the dental school, ahvaz jundishapur university of medical sciences, in 2015. a low-level laser was randomly applied on one of ...

Introduction: Radical laryngeal surgeries for extensive laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tumors often require a permanent tracheostomy, which has an immense impact on the quality of life of patients. A minimally invasive technique such as transoral laser microresection (TLM) followed by radiotherapy can preserve the functions of the voice and swallowing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ro...

Background and Aim: Diode laser is a great choice for soft tissue surgery. The diode laser is partially absorbed by hard dental tissues, making it safe for soft tissue surgery. This study aimed to compare the tissue thermal changes induced by three types of diode lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm wavelengths. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, using a diode laser device (c...

We report a unique protein labeling system based on melittin and a pyrene derivative (1). The specific region of the C-terminal in melittin efficiently induced the formation of the pyrene eximer, which can be used as a tag to target proteins and for further detection.
