Leakage after intestinal resection is a serious complication with a high mortality rate. A recent study claims that cutting the intestine with the COz laser improves the healing of intestinal anastomoses (Ferulano et al: Eur Surg Res 16:127-130, 1984). The present study was undertaken to analyze the

β¦ Synopsis
This study evaluated a coaxial CO,/Nd:YAG laser used during periodontal surgery in mongrel dogs for the purpose of ablating the osseous portions of root surfaces to increase reattachment of soft tissue. Periodontal defects were produced with ligatures of orthodontic wire and elastics. The left mandibular osseous root surfaces were irradiated with a defocused, CW laser beam [power density (PD) = 42.46 W/cm2, energy density (ED) = 424.63 J/cm21. The left maxillary osseous root surfaces were treated with a beam at twice the energy density [PD = 84.93 W/cm2, ED = 849.3 J/cm21. The mandibular right quadrant received conventional surgery and the maxillary right quadrant served as the untreated control. Fourteen days after treatment, facial/lingual attached gingivae were scored for soft tissue adherence to bone. Laser irradiation at low ED did not improve soft tissue attachment when compared to conventional treatment. Higher ED irradiation produced significantly less attachment and increased tissue necrosis.

A detailed understanding is required of the effect of Nd:YAG power density and coaxial CO2 on tissue necrosis in both the acute and healing situation. Lesions were produced by varying peak powers at eight increments of 10 W from 40-110 W/sec for a time duration of 1 sec with and without coaxial CO2
## Abstract A threeβdimensional analyzer installed in a scanning electron microscope was used to evaluate the morphology and surface roughness using noncontact profilometry. Observations were carried out on the enamel and dentin surface irradiated by three different lasers: Nd:YAG (wavelength 1.06
