โœฆ Synopsis

Sixteen bone blocks from two freshly amputated legs were used to study the effect of CO2 laser on cortical bone. They were divided into two groups. In Group I, the blocks were treated with CO2 laser using 1 mm spot (focused mode). In Group II, they were treated with CO2 laser using 3 mm spot (defocused mode). Two other variables were investigated: the power and time of exposure. Three histologic zones were observed: a superficial zone with black particle deposits (carbonization), an intermediate zone with fibrillations and enlarged empty lacunae, and a deep zone with normal appearing bone. The bony changes in the first two zones combined were superficial in all specimens and did not exceed 200 microns. Increased energy, a focused beam, and time of exposure were all associated with increased matrix changes. CO2 laser can be applied to cortical bone in vitro with minimal residual thermal damage.

Blood may limit laser ablation of arterial plaque by decreasing thermal energy transfer from metal-capped probes to arterial occlusions. Since a gas is a good insulator of heat, CO2 may be a better medium for laser recanalization. To study this possibility, a metal-capped fiber was positioned in a s

## Background and objective: Laser-assisted tissue repair is often accompanied by a high dehiscence rate, which may be due to alterations in suture material after laser exposure. the goal of this study was to investigate the effect of co2 laser irradiation on the tensile strength of microsurgical s
