2005
Objetivos: Este trabajo pretende demostrar que se pueden realizar la mayoría de las intervenciones quirúrgicas de la cavidad bucal en la población pediátrica en un medio ambulatorio, así como valorar y mostrar la actividad realizada en el Máster de Cirugía e Implantología Bucal de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Barcelona durante el año 2000. Diseño del estudio: Para la realización de este trabajo se ha contabilizado la actividad quirúrgica de las unidades de cirugía bucal y cirugía con láser en la población pediátrica en el Máster de Cirugía e Implantología Bucal de la Universidad de Barcelona. Resultados: De las 3187 intervenciones quirúrgicas realizadas en nuestro servici…
Comparative study of upper lip frenectomy with the CO2 laser versus the Er, Cr:YSGG laser
2012
Objectives: To compare upper lip frenulum reinsertion, bleeding, surgical time and surgical wound healing in frenectomies performed with the CO2 laser versus the Er, Cr:YSGG laser. Study design: A prospective study was carried out on 50 randomized pediatric patients who underwent rhomboidal resection of the upper lip frenulum with either the CO2 laser or the Er,Cr:YSGG laser. Twenty-five patients were assigned to each laser system. All patients were examined at 7, 14, 21 days and 4 months after the operation in order to assess the surgical wound healing. Results: Insertion of the frenulum, which was preoperatively located between the upper central incisors, migrated to the mucogingival junc…
Exéresis de las lesiones hiperplásicas de la cavidad bucal: estudio retrospectivo de 128 casos
2005
Objetivos: Este trabajo pretende, en base a nuestra experiencia, valorar y discutir las indicaciones, ventajas e inconvenientes de la exéresis de los épulis de la cavidad bucal con el láser de dióxido de carbono (CO2) respecto al láser de Erbio:YAG (Er: YAG), el láser de diodo y el bisturí frío. Material y método: Se ha realizado un estudio retrospectivo de un grupo de 120 pacientes en los que se extirparon 128 épulis con el láser de CO2, láser de Er:YAG, láser de diodo y bisturí frío. Se realizaron controles postoperatorios a los 7, 15 y 30 días para comprobar la cicatrización y la evolución de la herida y a los 3, 6 y 12 meses verificando si se había producido o no la recidiva de la lesió…
Photobiomodulation therapy and endodontic treatment of teeth with apical periodontitis using 940-nm diode laser. Report of two cases
2022
Background: Diode laser (DL) can be used in endodontics both for its bactericidal effect inside the root canal system (RCS) and for photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) to accelerate the repair of periradicular bone tissue. Clinical Cases: This work presents two cases of pulp necrosis/asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AAP) that were treated with 940-nm DL, administered both to disinfect the root canal and to apply PBMT to the periradicular tissues. The cases were analysed by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Discussion: DL has become widely accepted due to its high antimicrobial effectiveness and its ability to accelerate the repair of large apical lesions by biostimulation. Nevertheless,…
In vitro evaluation of the temperature increment at the external root surface after Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation of the root canal
2009
Objectives. A study was made to determine the temperature increment at the dental root surface following Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation of the root canal. Design. Human canines and incisors previously instrumented to K file number ISO 30 were used. Irradiation was carried out with glass fiber endodontic tips measuring 200 µm in diameter and especially designed for insertion in the root canal. The teeth were irradiated at 1 and 2 W for 30 seconds, without water spraying or air, and applying a continuous circular movement (approximately 2 mm/sec.) in the apico-coronal direction. Results. At the 1 W power setting, the mean temperature increment was 3.84ºC versus 5.01ºC at 2 W. In all cases the d…

Low-level laser therapy in patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome : a double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial
2019
Background Evaluate the effect of LLLT in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Material and methods Twenty-one BMS patients were randomly assigned to two groups: 12 in the laser group (LG) and 9 in the control group (CG). Patients in the LG underwent 2-week sessions of LLLT for 4 weeks. The spot tip area of this tool is 0.088cm2, semi-conductor GaAlAs, with a wavelength of 808nm ±5nm (infrared), 200 mW output power, 1.97W/cm2 of power density, 3 J energy per point and application time 15 seconds per point. LLLT was applied punctually, in continuous emissions, on each of the sites where there was a symptom. Symptoms were evaluated with a visual analogue scale (VAS) and patient psyc…
Laser treatment of 13 benign oral vascular lesions by three different surgical techniques
2013
Objectives: Benign Oral Vascular Lesions (BOVLs) are a group of vascular diseases characterized by congenital, inflammatory or neoplastic vascular dilations clinically evidenced as more or less wide masses of commonly dark bluish color. If traumatized BOVLs are characterized by a great risk of hemorrhage and their treatment usually requires great caution to prevent massive bleeding. In the last decades lasers have dramatically changed the way of treatment of BOVLs permitting the application of even peculiar techniques that gave interesting advantages in their management reducing hemorrhage risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capabilities and disadvan - tages of three laser assi…
Endoluminal sclerosis with diode laser in the treatment of orofacial venous malformations
2012
Introduction: The appearance of vascular anomalies in the orofacial area is a common condition, which represents about 50% of these malformations. Traditional treatment approach, such as surgery and chemical sclerosis has been given way to a few less-invasive options, as the use of the 810nm diode laser to induce the sclerosis of the venous malformation by intralesional photocoagulation. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of the diode laser in the intralesional treatment of the orofacial venous malformations (OFVM), describing the recommended surgical approach, as well as to report the main associated complications. Patients and Methods: 10 cases of OFVM, …
Aerosols generation using Er,Cr:YSGG laser compared to rotary instruments in conservative dentistry: A preliminary study
2021
Background In restorative dentistry, the use of high-speed air turbine, which generates aerosols, can be associated with the transmission of airborne diseases. New laser technologies could be useful in reducing the amount of aerosols, but there is a lack of scientific research on this topic. Material and methods This is a descriptive study to analyze the amount of aerosols produced after class I cavity preparation using high-speed air turbine (group 1) and Er,Cr:YSGG laser with two different parameters (groups 2 and 3). Fluorescein dye was incorporated into the coolant reservoir in order to visualize the production of aerosols during each procedure. Tooth preparation was performed in a typo…
