Juvenile Hyaline Fibromatosis Management With a Diode Laser: A Rare Case Report.

Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) is an unknown hereditary disorder with variable penetrance. The characterizations of this disease consist of different signs and symptoms such as multiple tumorous (tumor-like) muco-cutaneous proliferation, gingival hypertrophy, perianal lesions, articular contractures, and osteolytic lesions. A 3-year-old girl with numerous painless nodular masses on her gingival, ear and anal areas is presented in this case report.

Evaluation of laser fluorescence in combination with photosensitizers for detection of demineralized lesions.

Background And Objectives: Early detection of caries plays an important role in its prognosis. This study sought to assess the efficacy of laser fluorescence alone and in combination with photosensitizers for detection of demineralized smooth-surface lesions of permanent teeth.

Materials And Methods: This in vitro experimental study was conducted on 60 extracted sound premolars.

Transected sciatic nerve repair by diode laser protein soldering.

Background And Objective: Despite advances in microsurgical techniques, repair of peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) is still a major challenge in regenerative medicine. The standard treatment for PNI includes suturing and anasthomosis of the transected nerve. The objective of this study was to compare neurorraphy (nerve repair) using standard suturingto diode laser protein soldering on the functional recovery of transected sciatic nerves.

Comparison of laser and power bleaching techniques in tooth color change.

Background: Laser-assisted bleaching uses laser beam to accelerate release of free radicals within the bleaching gel to decrease time of whitening procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of power bleaching using Opalescence Xtra Boost® and laser bleaching technique using LaserSmile gel and diode laser as an activator in their tooth whitening capacity.

Material And Methods: Student t test showed that the laser bleaching group significantly outperformed the power bleaching group in changing ∆E (=0.

Evaluation of therapeutic laser influences on the healing of third-degree burns in rats according to different wavelengths.

Introduction: One of the most important innovative methods for tissue repair promotion is therapeutic lasers with photobiomodulution effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four different wavelengths of therapeutic laser (405, 532, 660 and 810 nm) on healing of third-degree burns from both clinical and pathological standpoints in rats.

Materials And Methods: 60 male Wistar rats were used.

Effects of the bleaching procedures on enamel micro-hardness: Plasma Arc and diode laser comparison.

Background And Aims: One of the major side effects of vital bleaching is the reduction of enamel micro-hardness. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of two different bleaching systems, Plasma Arc and GaAlAs laser, on the enamel micro-hardness.

Materials And Methods: 15 freshly extracted human third molars were sectioned to prepare 30 enamel blocks (5×5 mm).

The effect of red, green and blue lasers on healing of oral wounds in diabetic rats.

Background And Objective: Many studies have demonstrated that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can improve wound healing in non-diabetic and diabetic animals. We compared the effects of red, green, and blue lasers in terms of accelerating oral wound healing in diabetic rats.

Material And Methods: Diabetes was successfully induced in 32 male Wistar rats using intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin (150 mg/kg).

A comparison of Er, Cr: YSGG laser with ultrasonic preparation on the seal of retrograde cavities.

Background And Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare Er, Cr: YSGG laser with ultrasonic preparation on the seal of retrograde cavities.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight maxillary anterior teeth were used in this study. After removing the crowns, the canals were prepared with the step-back technique and filled with guttapercha.

Pyogenic Granuloma: Surgical Treatment with Er:YAG Laser.

Introduction: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity, considered to be of non-neoplastic nature, often caused by constant low-grade trauma as well as poor oral hygiene and maybe due to hormonal disturbances. Surgical excision, and removal of underlying cause in some cases, is the preferred method of treatment as it is only a benign lesion.In order to remove this lesion, scalpel, cryosurgery and laser are used.

Defocused irradiation mode of diode laser for conservative treatment of oral hemangioma.

Vascular lesions rise from abnormalities in blood vessels or endothelial proliferation. Capillary hemangiomas are formed by small capillaries surrounded by a layer of endothelial cells in a connective tissue stroma. Various treatments are used for these conditions like excisional surgery, sclerotherapy, and recently laser irradiation.
