introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dental surface treatment with erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet(er: yag), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet(nd: yag) and carbon dioxide laser  (co 2 ) lasers and sodium ascorbate to recently home bleached enamel by scanning electron microscope (sem). methods: thirty extracted human third molars were selected for this in...

FTR-Raman Spectra of human dental enamel, both laser-irradiated and untreated, are reported. Spectra are compared with hydroxyapatite. It is evident that unlike the CO2 laser, the Nd/YAG laser does not induce any chemical change in dental enamel.

conclusions the patient reported that he did not feel pain or discomfort throughout the intervention. follow-up visits performed after one, three, six, twelve, and sixteen months demonstrated vitality of the tooth the absence of complications, as well as good esthetic results. laser technology may be used in the treatment of traumatic anterior teeth injury with advantages in terms of quality of...

Nasal obstruction resulting from inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) was treated with Nd YAG laser inferior turbinectomy (Laser IT). The effectiveness of the procedure was assessed and compared with both Functional Endoscopic turbinoplasty (Turbinoplasty) and conventional partial turbinectomy (Conventional IT). Materials and methods: A retrospective analytic study was carried out for 53 patien...

Herein we report a clinical case of premacular hemorrhage treated with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG laser puncture). A 34-year-old Chinese female was administrated to the clinics with complaints of sudden vision loss of left eye (LE) several days before. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was reduced to light perception. Fundoscopy showed a large and dense premacular he...

introduction: the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of low-level neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (nd:yag) laser irradiation on orthodontic tooth movement and histological examination. methods: eleven male wistar rats (aged 10 weeks) were included. to produce experimental tooth movement in rats, 10 g force was applied to maxillary first molars with nickel titanium closed coil...

introduction dentine hypersensitivity is a common clinical problem in dental practices. so several methods such as, nd: yag laser have been used to treat this problem. previous studies reported that nd:yag laser irradiation on root surface makes some thermal changes, like dentine melting and some other side effects which are related to power of laser irradiation. the aim of our study was to com...

OBJECTIVE Our research aimed to detect the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal treatment with Nd: YAG laser and scaling and root planning (SRP) for chronic periodontitis. METHODS We recruited chronic periodontitis patients who have more than four teeth with clinical pocket depth of 4-8 mm. These teeth were distributed in four different zones within the oral cavity. Moreover, the teeth were s...
