Background: To analyse the rate of complications associated with Nd YAG posterior capsulotomy. Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted in Holy Family Hospital over a six-month period. It included five hundred and fifty patients in out door Eye Department, Holy Family Hospital treated with Nd YAG laser capsulotomy due to posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery. The...

Herein we report a clinical case of premacular hemorrhage treated with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG laser puncture). A 34-year-old Chinese female was administrated to the clinics with complaints of sudden vision loss of left eye (LE) several days before. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was reduced to light perception. Fundoscopy showed a large and dense premacular he...

introduction: port wine stains (pws) are congenital vascular malformations. pulsed dye laser (pdl) is the treatment of choice till now, although many lesions do not respond completely. one of possible options is long pulsed alexandrite laser. some literatures confirmed its efficacy. the aim of the present study is to determine the efficacy of this laser as an option in treating refractory pws i...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the scanning electron microscope (sem) of indirect composite conditioned by erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (nd:yag) laserand carbon dioxide (co2) laser. methods: 18 indirect composite blocks (gc gradia da2, japan) with 15 × 10 × 10 mm dimensions were made. the bonding s...

abstract today, the laser is used in a wide range of dental procedures. some of the advantages of some lasers in treatment of oral soft tissue lesions are: elimination of need for local anesthesia, minimal bleeding, fast healing, absence of postoperative complications and reduction of recurrence rate. for these reasons is was used for treatment of oral fibroma. to our knowledge this is the firs...

Nasal obstruction resulting from inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) was treated with Nd YAG laser inferior turbinectomy (Laser IT). The effectiveness of the procedure was assessed and compared with both Functional Endoscopic turbinoplasty (Turbinoplasty) and conventional partial turbinectomy (Conventional IT). Materials and methods: A retrospective analytic study was carried out for 53 patien...

We measured the bulk optical damage thresholds of pure and Nd-doped ceramic yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), and of pure, Nd-doped, Cr-doped, and Yb-doped crystalline YAG. We used 9.9 ns, 1064 nm, single-longitudinal mode, TEM00 pulses, to determine that the breakdown thresholds are deterministic, with multiple-pulse thresholds ranging from 1.1 to 2.2 kJ/cm2.

OBJECTIVE Our research aimed to detect the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal treatment with Nd: YAG laser and scaling and root planning (SRP) for chronic periodontitis. METHODS We recruited chronic periodontitis patients who have more than four teeth with clinical pocket depth of 4-8 mm. These teeth were distributed in four different zones within the oral cavity. Moreover, the teeth were s...
