Laser irradiation has numerous favorable characteristics, such as ablation or vaporization, hemostasis, biostimulation (photobiomodulation) and microbial inhibition and destruction, which induce various beneficial therapeutic effects and biological responses. Therefore, the use of lasers is considered effective and suitable for treating a variety of inflammatory and infectious oral conditions. The CO2 , neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) and diode lasers have mainly been used for
Effective ablation of dental hard tissues by means of the erbium-doped:yttrium-aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser has been reported recently, and its application to caries removal and cavity preparation has been expected. However, few studies have investigated the capability of the Er:YAG laser to treat caries. In the present study, the effectiveness of caries removal by using an Er:YAG laser in vitro was compared with that of conventional mechanical treatment. Thirty-one extracted human teeth with
The effectiveness of a newly-developed Er:YAG laser with a fiber delivery system to remove subgingival calculus was examined in vitro. Fifty-three (53) periodontally-involved human extracted teeth with a band of subgingival calculus were used. Two experiments were conducted: in experiment 1, laser scaling was performed with water irrigation on a straight line and on a broad area, against the subgingival calculus at the energy levels of 10 to 120 mJ/pulse (3.5 to 42.4 J/cm2/pulse) and the pulse r
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Er:YAG laser scaling and the morphological and histological changes of the laser-scaled root surface in comparison with the effectiveness and root surface changes produced by conventional ultrasonic scaling. Fifty-three periodontally involved human extracted teeth with a band of subgingival calculus were used. The teeth were divided randomly into 2 groups for laser scaling and ultrasonic scaling. Laser irradiation was performe
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder caused by bacterial infection. Laser treatment demonstrates specific characteristics that may be valuable in managing periodontal disease. In addition, lasers reduce stress and uncomfortable conditions for patients during and after treatment compared to other conventional tools. This article reviews the literature to describe the current clinical applications of lasers for gingival tissue management-including esthetic treatment, non-surgical
The characteristic microstructure of the root cementum surface after Er:YAG laser irradiation has a tendency to hinder the early attachment of PDL cells. However, chemical and/or mechanical root conditioning treatment may improve and increase the biocompatibility of the Er:YAG laser-treated root cementum by removing the microstructures of the surface and/or further exposing the collagen fibers.
Within the limits of this study, BL was found to have an antimicrobial/growth-inhibiting effect on P. gingivalis, and a-PDT using a combination of BL and RB shows promise as a new technical modality for bacterial elimination in periodontal therapy.
The inhibition of the growth of P. gingivalis by blue LED may therefore be induced not by a bactericidal effect, but instead due to a bacteriostatic effect mediated by the suppression of the genes associated with chromosomal DNA replication and cell division at the transcriptional level.
Lasers have numerous advantageous tissue interactions such as ablation or vaporization, hemostasis, bacterial killing, as well as biological effects, which induce various beneficial therapeutic effects and biological responses in the tissues. Thus, lasers are considered an effective and suitable device for treating a variety of inflammatory and infectious conditions of periodontal disease. Among various laser systems, the Er:YAG laser, which can be effectively and safely used in both soft and ha
