peri-implantitis is a state defined as an inflammatory reaction around osseointegrated implants, leading to progressive loss of supporting bone. various treatment methods are suggested in the treatment of peri-implantitis and clinicians have to choose a method over a large number of treatment protocols. lasers have shown promising therapeutic effect in treatment of peri-implantitis. however, so...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate amalgam surfaces treated by different output powers of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser by scanning electron microscope (sem). methods: twenty-one amalgam blocks (8 mm × 8 mm, 3 mm thickness) were prepared by condensing silver amalgam (into putty impression material. after keeping them for 24 hours in distilled water, th...

The future development of medicine will greatly depend on research, knowledge and clinical application of stem cells. In recent years, stem cells especially; skin stem cells have been very interesting and amazing targets for study and scientific application in the following fields : 1- Cell-based therapy; 2- Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering; 3- Gene therapy; 4- Therapeutic cloning; ...

introduction: to determine efficacy of low level laser therapy for clicking temporomandibular joint (tmj) with a diode laser following orthodontic treatment. methods:  performance of lllt with a diode laser for temporomandibular clicking and postoperative findings were evaluated in a case of an orthodontic patient following the termination of treatment. patient had a history of severe clicking ...

Introduction Application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient  photothermal effects. Gold-gold sulfide (GGS) is considered as one of these nanostructures. This study was performed on a tissue-equivalent optical-thermal phantom to determine the temperature profile in the presence and absence of GGS and millisecond pulses of a ...

o bjectives: bond strength of composite resin to enamel and dentin of primary teeth is lower than that to permanent teeth; therefore, it may compromise the ad- hesive bonding. new methods, such as laser application have been recently intro- duced for tooth preparation. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth preparation with bur and er:yag laser on shear bond strength of c...

in this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. we prove a posteriori $ l^2(l^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

Background: Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit very unique physiochemical and optical properties, which now are extensively studied in a range of medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. AuNPs can be used for cancer clinical treatment with minimal invasion. On the other hand, curcumin is a polyphenol derived from turmeric which is used for medical purposes due to its anti...
