conclusions the radiological findings of the present study showed that the use of a coral-dcfgp mixture led to superior bone defect healing and rapid graft incorporation when compared to the use of solely coral or dcfgp. background currently, coral is used as an osteoconductive material. demineralized calf fetal growth plate (dcfgp) has also been used as a source of osteoinduction. objectives t...

it is the output power and density of the lasers which determine whether a laser is a low or high-power one. if the density is less than 670mw/cm2, the laser is called a low power one. the output power of these lasers is usually less than 250mw. they use different mechanisms to accelerate wound healing such as: cellular biostimulation, improvement of circulation, vasodilation, analgesic and ant...
