FTR-Raman Spectra of human dental enamel, both laser-irradiated and untreated, are reported. Spectra are compared with hydroxyapatite. It is evident that unlike the CO2 laser, the Nd/YAG laser does not induce any chemical change in dental enamel.

conclusions the patient reported that he did not feel pain or discomfort throughout the intervention. follow-up visits performed after one, three, six, twelve, and sixteen months demonstrated vitality of the tooth the absence of complications, as well as good esthetic results. laser technology may be used in the treatment of traumatic anterior teeth injury with advantages in terms of quality of...

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...

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: the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of low-level neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (nd:yag) laser irradiation on orthodontic tooth movement and histological examination. methods: eleven male wistar rats (aged 10 weeks) were included. to produce experimental tooth movement in rats, 10 g force was applied to maxillary first molars with nickel titanium closed coil...

introduction dentine hypersensitivity is a common clinical problem in dental practices. so several methods such as, nd: yag laser have been used to treat this problem. previous studies reported that nd:yag laser irradiation on root surface makes some thermal changes, like dentine melting and some other side effects which are related to power of laser irradiation. the aim of our study was to com...

Stereolithography is a Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing (RP&M) technique which is used to produce 3 dimensional plastic parts directly out computer files generated by CAD. Stereolithography systems use ultraviolet lasers to solidify liquid resin into the desired form as defined by the CAD file. In recent years, solid state laser technology has reached the point where it can be applied to stere...

This paper deals with the study of the spectral components of Lamb waves generated in thin aluminium plate using pulsed Nd-YAG laser and detected using a He-Ne Laser Heterodyne interferometer. Laser generation of Lamb waves leads to simultaneous generation of various frequency component as well as multiple Lamb wave modes. The Lamb wave signals are successfully and comprehensively analyzed usin...
