## Background and objectives: The aim of the present pilot study was to determine therapeutic responses to er:yag- and co(2)-laser ablation in patients with oral leukoplakia as evaluated by means of exfoliative cytology (ec) and dna-image-cytometry (dna-i). ## Study design/materials and methods:
## Background and objectives: Lasers are now used for intraoral, soft tissue procedures. the effects of nd:yag probes on cutting efficiency and temperature rise were evaluated in vitro. ## Study design/materials and methods: Three hundred twenty-micron 400-microns, 500-microns, and 600-microns pr
Biochemical studies utilizing keloid fibroblast cultures revealed that Nd:YAG laser selectively suppressed collagen production by these cells. Based on these in vitro observations. eight patients with keloids were treated with Nd:YAG laser in a nondestructive manner. Results, with a 3-year follow-up
