The first, to the best of our knowledge, mid-infrared Q-switched Ce-doped glass laser is demonstrated. As saturable absorbers, Fe:CdSe and Fe:CdTe are used for the first time. When Q-switched by Fe:CdSe, the laser operates in a multi-pulse regime with an individual pulse width of 110 ns, centered at λ = 5.20 µm. With Fe:CdTe as saturable absorber, 1-3 giant pulses of 30 ns pulse width are generated at λ = 5.13 µm.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on the binocular visual function in myopic patients with glasses-free three-dimensional (3D) technique.
Methods: Totally 50 myopic patients (39 females and 11 males) with SMILE were enrolled in this prospective study. The glasses-free 3D technique was used to evaluate the binocular visual function in these subjects including static stereopsis, dynamic stereopsis, foveal suppression, and binocular balance point of signal to noise ratio (s/n ratio).

Impact of surface conditioner phytic acid (IP6) Er,Cr:YSGG laser (ECYL) methylene blue photodynamic therapy (MB-PDT) on the microleakage and shear bond strength (SBS) of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) to primary sound dentin. Overall, 80 extracted sound primary molars were collected followed by their submergence in self-cure acrylic resin. The dentin surface was exposed and made flat and was assigned into four groups based on the surface conditioning.

The large-scale mining and utilization of rare earth elements have significantly increased their concentration in the environment, especially in regions surrounding mining areas. These environmentally-enriched rare earth elements accumulate in agricultural products and organisms through soil and water, potentially impacting in human health through the food chain. Erbium (Er), a rare earth element of the lanthanide series (Group IIIB), plays a crucial role in various modern technological applications.

Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of unconventional post space disinfection techniques, specifically Er:YAG laser, Temoporfin, and Carbon Nanoparticles (CNPs), in improving Martens hardness (MH), eliminating the smear layer (SL), and enhancing the push-out bond strength (PBS) of glass fiber posts in canal dentin.
Methods: An in vitro study was conducted utilizing 80 single-rooted extracted human teeth, which were decoronated and subjected to standardized root canal preparation. The teeth were equally distributed into four experimental groups: Group 1 (NaOCl + EDTA), Group 2 (Er: YAG laser + EDTA), Group 3 (Temoporfin + EDTA), and Group 4 (CNPs + EDTA).
