one of the basic purposes in dental treatment is providing a painless treatment for patients. this purpose may be achieved by the application of laser in dentistry. low-level laser therapy (lllt) is an internationally accepted title for biomodulation with low-level lasers which we use to achieve ideal therapeutic effects. low-level laser therapy is a painless, reproducible, non-invasive, and wi...

Background: Laser treatment is a rapid, non-invasive procedure for long-term hair removal. Lasers operate based on the principle of selective photothermolysis and target melanin in the hair follicle. We intend to determine the level of hirsute patient satisfaction with the alexandrite laser hair removal procedure.Methods: In this cross-sectional study 82 hirsute patient...

A comparative evaluation of low-level laser and CO(2) laser therapies was performed, for the treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP). In a randomized open clinical trial, 28 patients with 57 lesions were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received CO(2) laser therapy, the other received low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for 5 sessions every other day. Participants were examined before the tr...

This article has discussed selected applications of laser therapies in otolaryngology. Lasers are the treatment of choice for PWS lesions, but new advances are needed to achieve complete blanching in the majority of cases. Noninvasive in vivo imaging and laser therapy coupled with PDT are two areas showing promise to improve outcome. PDT has the potential to offer new, cost-effective treatment ...

Background and Aim: Previous studies revealed improved enamel caries resistance after laser irradiation. Present in vitro study evaluated the effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser with or without topical fluoride application on microhardness of primary enamel after artificial demineralization. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 35 primary molars with sound surfaces were bisected and randomly ...

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients. The management of DME is complex and often various treatment approaches are needed. At the present time, despite the enthusiasm for evaluating several new treatments for DME, including the intravitreal pharmacologic therapies (e.g., corticosteroids and anti-VEGF drugs), laser photocoagulation still remains...

statement of the problem: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common lesions in the oral cavity. due to its multifactorial nature, there is no definitive treatment for ras. laser therapy is one of the suggested treatments to reduce patient’s discomfort. purpose: the purpose of the present clinical trial is to assess the effect of low and high level laser therapy on pain contr...

Introduction: Mucogingival surgery is performed to correct defects in the morphology, position, and/or amount of gingiva. Such post-operative complications as bleeding, swelling, and pain have often been documented after mucogingival surgery and are associated with discomfort after surgery. The low-intensity laser has been used to promote analgesia. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) not only accel...
