Optical absorption and scattering of bovine cornea, lens and retina in the visible regionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Optical properties of bovine ocular tissues were determined at laser wavelengths in the visible region. The inverse adding doubling (IAD), Kubelka–Munk (KM), and inverse Monte Carlo (IMC) methods were applied to the measured values of the total diffuse transmission, total diffuse reflection, and collimated transmission to determine the optical absorption and scattering coefficients of the bovine cornea, lens and retina at 457.9 nm, 488 nm, and 514.5 nm laser lines from an argon ion laser. The optical properties obtained from these three methods were compared, and their validity is d...

A clinical comparison of topical piroxicam and EMLA cream for pain relief and inflammation in laser hair removalEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study showed that topical piroxicam and EMLA provided adequate and similar pain relief after Nd:YAG 1,064 nm laser hair removal in female volunteers. Topical piroxicam was associated with fewer inflammatory side effects than was EMLA cream, because of its anti-inflammatory effect after the procedure.

Frequency doubled neodymium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet and diode laser-activated power bleaching—pH, environmental scanning electron microscopy, and colorimetric in vitro evaluationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Corrosiveness of enamel surfaces of Smartbleach®, Opus White®, Opalescense Xtra Boost® and a gel containing titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles, activated either by a frequency doubled neodymium: yttrium–aluminum–garnet (Nd:YAG) laser (532 nm) or a diode laser (810 nm) was evaluated by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). Changes in teeth color shades and the pH were also evaluated. Each bleaching agent was laser activated for 30 s and removed after 1 min or 10 min. This procedure was repeated up to four times, the bleaching agent receiving a maximum application tim...

Effect of laser therapy (660 nm) on recovery of the sciatic nerve in rats after injury through neurotmesis followed by epineural anastomosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) laser (660 nm) on the myelin sheath and functional recovery of the sciatic nerve in rats. The sciatic nerves of 12 Wistar rats were subjected to injury through neurotmesis and epineural anastomosis, and the animals were divided into two groups: group 1 was the control and group 2, underwent low-level laser therapy (LLLT). After the injury, AlGaAs laser at 660 nm, 4 J/cm2, 26.3 mW and beam area of 0.63 cm2 was administered to three equidistant points on the injury for 20 consecutive days. ...

Fractional photothermolysis—an updateEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The novel concept of non-ablative fractional photothermolysis was introduced to the market in 2003 as an answer to the need for effective, yet low risk, resurfacing techniques. Unlike conventional ablative and non-ablative lasers, fractional ablative and non-ablative photothermolysis treats only a fraction of the skin, leaving up to a maximum of 95% of the skin uninvolved. The undamaged surrounding tissue allows for a reservoir of viable tissue, permitting rapid epidermal repair. Non-ablative fractional photothermolysis is currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treat...

Photopolymerization of a dental nanocomposite as restorative material using the argon laserEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of power density and irradiation time of an argon laser on the physico-mechanical properties of light-cured dental nanocomposites. The composites were cured with 260 mW/cm2 and 340 mW/cm2 power densities at different irradiation times. The degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength, flexural modulus, water sorption, solubility and reaction temperature were measured. The maximum DC (50%), which was achieved after approximately 20 s irradiation, and the reaction temperature rise (20°C) were demonstrated by composite containing 20% fi...

Abstract The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effects of a self-etch adhesive system and neodymium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet (Nd:YAG) laser application on the dentinal permeability of the furcation area of primary molars. After endodontic access, 39 extracted human deciduous molars were divided into three groups: control group (CG), no treatment; adhesive group (AG), self-etching adhesive was applied to the furcation area; laser group (LG), specimens were irradiated with Nd:YAG laser. To evaluate dentin permeability of the furcation area, we immersed the specimens in 0.5 % methylene blue d...
