โœฆ Synopsis

The carbon dioxide laser is used in the oral cavity for a variety of procedures. Although the procedures may not involve the teeth directly, precaution should be exercised to preserve their integrity. The results of this study indicate that the most limiting parameter for oral use of the CO, laser is damage to the enamel surface, which could be inflicted with as little as 5 W for 0.2 second and a 1 mm beam. Care should be exercised to prevent inadvertent damage to the surface enamel of teeth even at very low energy levels.

During 1977During -1983, 787 , 787 consecutive referred cases of CJN were treated by vaporization of a dome-shaped defect, by excision of a cylindrical specimen, or a combination of procedures where 48 % were CIN 111. Vaporization was used for 72% of CIN I, 76% of CIN 11, and 64% of CIN 111 cases.
