using diode laser for soft tissue incision of oral cavity
introduction: the purpose of this case report is to analyze the results of vestibuleplasty around an over-denture based on dental implants to determine the evidence on the effectiveness of laser-assisted surgery and soft tissue management in implant dentistry. case report: the patient in this case report was a 57 year- old male who was completely edentulous, with a mandibular over denture based...
متن کاملTreatment of lentigines by a novel high power diode laser at 755 nm: a case report
The use of high-power diode laser with a wavelength of 755 nm is an effective and safe method for the correction and partial and/or total elimination of pigmented lesions, specifically solar lentigines. This wavelength has yet not been used in diode lasers to treat solar lentigines. Side effects are the usual ones, including darkening and scab formation. Our patient was a 40-year-old woman of C...
متن کاملThe advantage of using a diode laser instead of a Q-switched laser in photoacoustic imaging of tissues
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of biological tissues using laser diodes instead of conventional Q switched pulsed systems provides an attractive alternative for biomedical applications. However, the relatively low energy of laser diodes operating in the pulsed regime, results in generation of very weak acoustic waves, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the detected signals. This problem can be ...
متن کاملUsing of Broadened Asymmetric Waveguide Structure for 980nm Diode Laser
Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...
متن کاملHigh-powered holmium-laser ablation: comparison of setting effectiveness using tissue-surrogate model.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The 100-W holmium laser, in conjunction with a sidefiring 550-microm fiber, can ablate prostate glands as large as 40 g to relieve lower urinary-tract symptoms. We evaluated the effect of various setting combinations on ablation efficiency using beef kidney as a tissue-surrogate model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Beef kidney specimens (mean weight 44.8 +/- 3.1 g) were secured...
