This article compares and contrasts the differences in hemostasis and coagulation of erbium, carbon dioxide, and diode (hot-tip) dental lasers.
ContinueThe “sound scientific basis and proven efficacy in order to ensure public safety” is one of the main eligibility requirements of the American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognition Program (CERP) Recognition Standards and Procedures. Until such sound scientific foundation...
ContinueClinically efficient CO2 laser-assisted, closed flap peri-implantitis treatment protocol is detailed in this report. Also presented is the physics of the laser wavelength and pulsing effects on laser-tissue and laser-implant interaction...
ContinueThe CO2 laser was efficiently used for the hyperplastic gingival ablation and sulcular debridement. The ability of the CO2 laser to achieve hemostasis proved especially important for the procedures...
ContinueFind out the recommended protocol settings proposed for implant-safe and efficient SuperPulse 10.6 micrometers CO2 laser-assisted, closed flap peri-implantitis treatment...
ContinueIn this in vitro model, a 10.6 micrometers wavelength super-pulse CO2 laser using parameters that produce an average fluence of 38 J/cm2 will achieve 100% ablation of biofilms grown on implant specimens of varying topographies...
ContinueThe 10,600-nm CO2 laser is both an efficient and spatially precise photo-thermal ablation device and excellent coagulator because of the close match between its coagulation depth and the diameters of oral soft-tissue capillaries...
ContinueThe many uses for a soft tissue CO2 laser in orthodontics, such as gingivectomies, frenectomies, exposure of impacted teeth, and others, feature minimal blood loss and reduced discomfort for the patients...
ContinueThe 10.6 micrometers CO2 laser is an efficient and spatially accurate photo-thermal ablation tool with excellent coagulation efficiency due to the close match between coagulation depth and oral soft tissue blood capillary diameters...
ContinueThe CO2 laser provides instant hemostasis with a minuscule zone of thermal injury, lack of need for sutures, reduced wound contraction, smooth healing, and only minor pain and discomfort reported...
ContinueOnce properly diagnosed, infant lip-ties and tongue-ties can be safely and efficiently released using the soft tissue 10,600 nm CO2 laser with predictable and repeatable tissue response, fast ablation and instant hemostasis...
ContinueLearn about the wavelength-dependent differences in photo-thermal ablation and coagulation efficiencies for oral soft tissue pulsed dental Near-IR Diode, Mid-IR Erbium and IR CO2 lasers.
ContinueThe excision of irritation fibromas, with the flexible fiber waveguide 10,600-nm CO2 laser is a minimally invasive and typically suture-free surgical modality that ensures dependable treatment of fibromas. It is, in many respects, superior to most of the alternative treatment options.
