[Laser therapy of mandibular fractures].

Results of a comparative analysis of treatment of 46 patients with mandible fractures show the laser radiation (1 mv/cm2) to enhance the activity of serum alkaline phosphatase, to accelerate fixation of the mandible fracture, to shorten the period of disability of the patients, to prevent inflammatory complications.

[Small-scale laser unit and its use in dental surgery].

A design and main specifications of the laser set lTM-01 for the operative dentistry are presented. Some methods and manipulations are also described. Special attention is focused on a rather high therapeutic activity of He-Ne laser beams at the radiation density about 0,1-1 mW/cm2 when treating more than 3000 patients.
