Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common reactive oral lesion predominantly involving the gingiva and rarely occurring on the dorsum of the tongue. It can develop at any age but more commonly in the second decade with a female predilection. Numerous factors are associated with its development, and surgical removal is the standard treatment. Various surgical modalities have been used to excise it. Herein, we report a case of a female patient in her late 60s who presented with an exophytic lesion involving the dorsum of the tongue, which was excised using a 940 nm diode laser. In addition, it discusses the advantages of diode laser as a surgical modality and describes this lesion's clinical features and pathogenesis.

The Effect of Novel Laser-Activated Bleaching Protocols on the Color Change of Non-Vital Anterior Teeth: An In Vitro Study.
Eur J Dent
December 2024
Department of Preventive and Restorative Dentistry, College of Dental Medicine, University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Objective: This study compares the color change of non-vital anterior teeth after laser-activated bleaching and conventional walking bleaching technique.
Materials And Methods: Sixty extracted teeth were endodontically treated, stained in a black tea solution, and the baseline shade was measured using a spectrophotometer (Easyshade, VITA). Bleaching was done using either: internal bleaching with 35% HO (Opalescence Endo) and then tooth sealed for 5 days (Gr1), 35% HO (JW Next) for 7 minutes (Gr2), internal and external bleaching for 7 minutes (Gr3), diode laser-activated internal bleaching for 30 seconds (940 nm, continuous wave, 2 W, noncontact mode, 300 um, non-initiated tip), wait for 7 minutes, second laser application for 30 seconds, tooth sealed for 5 days (Gr4), diode laser-activated internal bleaching for 24 hours (Gr5), or diode laser-activated internal and external bleaching for 24 hours (Gr6) ( = 10).

Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, SGT University, Gurugram, Haryana, India.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the antimicrobial effects of an 810-nanometer diode laser, utilizing or not utilizing toluidine blue as a photosensitizer, in the management of peri-implant mucositis.
Settings And Design: The present study was carried out in 30 implant sites in 15 patients with peri-implant mucositis with a specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. 15 sites were treated utilizing a diode laser (control group) and 15 with photodynamic therapy (test group) in a split-mouth format.
Introduction: Laser ablation using a 980-nm wavelength diode laser, which is a new-generation laser, for recurrent bladder cancer is known to have a lower incidence of complications and recurrence than conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor surgery. This is the first study to report the use of 980-nm diode laser ablation for recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in Japan.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old man underwent transurethral laser ablation for the treatment of recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Use of a fractional 1570-nm diode laser scanner for nonablative face and neck rejuvenation.
J Cosmet Laser Ther
January 2025
DrMediSpa Clinic, London, UK.
Background: The use of non-ablative fractionated lasers for skin rejuvenation has been proven to be effective in improving skin texture, and has become popular due to minimal wounding, significantly shorter recovery times and decreased adverse effects.
Objective: To retrospectively analyze improvement in skin texture in healthy women aged over 18 years with Fitzpatrick skin type II-IV.
Methods: Participants received 3 facial and/or neck treatments with the 1570-nm fractional scanning diode laser at one-month intervals.
