INTRODUCTION Laser dentistry is a one of the upcoming advanced treatment modality for oral mucosal lesions. Diode laser is a soft tissue laser that has found much acceptance in all branches of dentistry. Available compact size and feasibility has render diode laser an enhanced tool for today's clinical practice. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of diode laser for th...

AIM The Er:YAG laser has proven to be effective and efficient in dental hard tissue ablation. The Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) approach in caries removal is to stop the disease process and to restore lost tooth structure and function, maximizing the health potential of the tooth. One of the most important concepts of the MID is to preserve as much as possible the dental tissue and this ap...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, significant developments have been taking place in caries removal and cavity preparation using laser in dentistry. As laser use is considered for cavity preparation, it is necessary to determine the quality of restoration margins. Glass ionomer cements have great applications for conservative restoration in the pediatric field. The purpose of this in vitro study wa...

In modern dentistry applications, two different types of laser occupy dominant positions: gas lasers and solid-state lasers. The first of these categories includes the Co2 laser (10 600 nm) and the argon laser (480 + 515 nm), while examples of the solid-state laser are the Nd:YAG (1064 nm), Er:YAG (2940 nm), Er:CrYSGG (2780 nm) and the diode laser (mainly 810 and 980 nm). As the name suggests, ...

Herpes labialis are the most frequent clinical manifestations of HSV-1 infection.Epithelial cells are able to respond to HSV-1 presence inducing the expression of IL-6,IL-1, TNF-α and IL-8. These proinflammatory cytokines have a function in the acute-phase response mediation, chemotaxis, inflammatory cell activation and antigen-presenting cells. In the human epithelial cell ...

results and conclusion: lasers are useful for soft tissue surgery in modern dentistry, especially in relation to pediatric patients due to the rapid and regular wound healing without sutures. introduction: epulis granulomatosa is a lesion which grows from an extraction socket. it can be misdiagnosed with lesions of the same clinical appearance such as: foreign body or pyogenic granuloma, or as ...
