## Abstract Methods of testing the strength of microvascular anastomoses are reviewed historically, in the light of recent applications to laserβassisted microvascular anastomosis techniques. The results of two experiments using hydrostatic distension to bursting point to determine the strengths of

β¦ Synopsis
This experiment evaluated the influence of blood on the weld strength of laser-assisted microvascular anastomoses (LAMA). Rat femoral arteries were anastomosed end-to-end by either direct laser welding (group I) or by a blood-bonded technique (group II) whereby fresh blood was applied to the vessel edges before laser exposure. Bursting strength was measured at 0, 1, and 24 hours and at 3 and 7 days by infusing methylene blue into the vessel while pressure was monitored. The results showed significantly increased bursting strength in group II compared with group I at 0 hour and 7 days (P less than 0.05). There was a significant increase in bursting strength in group I from 0 hour to 1 hour (P less than 0.05). It is concluded that blood-bonding enhances the early bursting strength of LAMAs and may facilitate arterial wall healing.

## Abstract The success rate of laserβassisted microvascular anastomosis (LAMA) can be influenced by many factors, including the parameters of the laser technique used. This study examined the effects of laser pulse duration and the occurrence of anastomotic disruption immediately following first r

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives To assess the effect of erbium:yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser on bond strength to dentin of a selfβetching primer (Clearfil Liner Bond 2V, CL2V) and two singleβbottle agents (Excite, EX; Gluma One Bond, GB). ## Study Design/Materials and Methods
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Previous studies have shown that during the laser irradiation of dentin and bone, thermal damage can be minimized by using a highly absorbed laser wavelength, laser pulses shorter than the thermal relaxation time of the deposited laser energy at that wavele
