Results obtained from two clinical cases, representative of I. 140 human teeth treated by COz laser beam during 3 years, announce a new conception of treatment of dental caries. The beam (P = 4 -5 W, energy density of 9 to 25 kw/cm2) causes a dentin healing which becomes sterile, chemically and phys

β¦ Synopsis
Traumatic inflammation due to application of CO2 laser beam on teeth (dentin and pulp) of Beagle dogs and Macaca Monkeys, stimulate in dentino-pulpal tissue morphological phenomena studied after 5 days, 1, and 3 months by microscop and microradiography. After a dentin exposure to a density of energy from 2 x 10 J/cm2, the first cell layers of the pulp tissue show a rarefaction and a cellular degeneration, followed by a neoformation of cacified dentin, of about 300 pm thick in 3 months, due to the excitation of odontoblasts or produced by pulpal cells functioning before. A density of energy of 103J/cm2 order applied to the pulp beads to its partial necrosis, to various inflammatory aspects and to a quasiconstant regeneration by a neo-dentin bridge of 200 pm at 1 month. The analysis of cell activity seems able to be investigated from this method.

The effect of CO, laser irradiation on pulpal microcirculation was studied in cat canines. The enamel surfaces of 4 teeth were exposed with energy densities of 304-1440J/cm2, using either a handpiece or a microslad, with a focal spot of 0.21mm and 0.33mm respectively. Pulpal blood flow (PBF) before
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Both patients and dentists would like a replacement of the dental drill. During the last decade, lasers have been investigated as a possible replacement. For lasers to be accepted, studies must show that their effect on the dental pulpal tissues is equal to
## Background and Objective: The aim of study this was to evaluate in vivo the pulpal blood flow rate, pulpal responsiveness, systemic blood pressure, and pulse rate during Nd:YAG laser irradiation of an isolated tooth. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods : Thirteen volunteers from the Tsurumi
The use of the carbon dioxide laser for the removal of soft tissue lesions in the oral cavity is presented. The laser was used to remove numerous benign lesions and growths, for incisional and excisional biopsies, and for the removal of microinvasive and macroinvasive carcinomas. Owing to its coagul
