A Proposal of Educational Guideline for Laser Dentistry

Guideline on Pediatric Restorative Dentistry

Purpose The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) presents this guideline to assist the practitioner in the restorative care of infants, children, adolescents, and persons with special health care needs. The objectives of restorative treatment are to repair or limit the damage from caries, protect and preserve the tooth structure, reestablish adequate function, restore esthetics (where...

Laser Dentistry

I NTRODUCT ION The Er:YAG laser, emitting at 2940 nm, can be a valuable tool for root canal debridement and improved pathogen reduction during endodontic treatment. The ability to successfully negotiate and remove the smear layer and bacteria continues to be a challenge for nonsurgical endodontic treatment in root canal systems. Current instrumentation techniques use both hand and ultrasonic ir...

A proposal for laser cooling antihydrogen atoms

We present a scheme for laser cooling applicable to an extremely dilute sample of magnetically trapped antihydrogen atoms (H̄). Exploiting and controlling the dynamical coupling between the H̄’s motional degrees of freedom in a magnetic trap, three-dimensional cooling can be achieved from Doppler cooling in one dimension using the 1s1/2 − 2p3/2 transition. The lack of three-dimensional access to ...
