The control of laser-induced microcracks in the volume of transparent materials is essential for scribing processes. In this paper, we investigate the effect of various amplitude and single-level phase masks on both transverse and axial intensity distribution of the conventional axicon-generated Bessel beams. Furthermore, we demonstrate the volumetric crack control induced by an asymmetrical central core with an appropriately selected intensity level to avoid the influence of peripheral intensity maxima.

Objectives: Prescription trends to certain antibiotic classes in Lithuania have been observed. Considering the potential contribution to antimicrobial resistance and the evidence of inappropriate prescriptions highlights, the periodical assessment of antibiotic consumption trends is required. The aim of this study was to assess prescription behaviours of Lithuanian general dental practitioners concerning the systemic antibiotic therapy of endodontic infections.
