β¦ Synopsis
Background and Objectives
: This investigation determined incision characteristics and soft-tissue damage resulting from standardized incisions using a wide range of laser modes and parameters of a diode laser at 810 nm. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Histologic examinations were performed to verify vertical and horizontal tissue damage as well as incision depth and width. Results: Incision depth and width correlated strongly with average powers, but not with laser parameters or the used tips. No laser damage was visible to the naked eye in the bone underlying the incisions in the range between 0.5-4.5 W. Conclusion: The remarkable cutting ability and the tolerable damage zone clearly show that the diode laser is a very effective and, because of its excellent coagulation ability, useful alternative in soft-tissue surgery of the oral cavity.

Background and Objective: Surgery of soft tissue, for example, of the tongue or the liver, requires a cutting and coagulating device. Therefore, a combined Ho:YAG/Nd:YAG laser providing the laser beam of both systems together in one bare fiber seems to be useful. ## Study Design/Materials and Metho
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The aim of the present histologic study was to compare the in vivo and in vitro effects of an erbium: yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Er:YAG) laser (ERL), combined with a fluorescent calculus detection system, a diode laser (DL) and scaling and root planing
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Dental lasers represent a promising therapeutic tool in the treatment of periodontal and periβimplant diseases. However, their clinical application remains still limited. Here, we investigated the potential biostimulatory effect of low pulse energy neodymiu
The effect of an external magnetic field on the yield of the benzophenone ketyl radical has been investigated by a new, double-pulse technique. The technique and its variants can be used not only for studying geminate recombination of photochemically produced radical pairs but &o for continuous phot
