[Alternative methods for prevention and treatment of dental caries using laser and magnetic laser exposure].

Alternative methods for prevention and treatment of dental caries are presented, based on the use of laser and magnetic laser exposure (patent No. 2053818, in Russia) with a new generation laser device with Optodan microprocessor monitoring (patent No. 2014107, Russia).

[Preparation of bone tissue of the jaw to implantation of abutment elements of dentures].

A complex multi-staged method for stimulation of bone tissue regeneration in the jaws after removal of teeth and preparation of bone tissue for subsequent implantation, stimulation of bone tissue regeneration after implantation, and adaptation of bone tissue of the jaws to masticatory pressure is developed. The method is based on utilization of magnetic laser exposure with a universal Optodan laser device. In case of pronounced inflammation and pyodestructive processes after implantation, these processes are liquidated due to detoxifying effect of the blood, which is stimulated by irradiation of the carotid sinuses on both sides.
