Effectiveness of a new method of disinfecting the root canal, using Er, Cr:YSGG laser to kill Enterococcus faecalis in an infected tooth model.

2013

Some lasers have demonstrated to provide effective disinfection when used as adjunctive device to the conventional treatment. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the effectiveness of the erbium, chromium:yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) laser by measuring its bactericidal effect inside the root canal experimentally colonized with Enterococcus faecalis. The laser was tested at different irradiation times (30 and 60 s) and energy of impulses (75 and 25 mJ). A total of 52 single-rooted extracted human teeth were endodontically prepared with rotary instrumentation. All were sterilized and inoculated with a suspension of E. faecalis (105 bacteria/ml). The teeth were rand…

Treatment of post-surgical scars of cheek’s mucosa with Er, Cr: YSGG laser

2013

Background. Bulkiness and unsightly scarring are very common complaints after oral cancer surgical treatment. The scar of cheek can give complications such as: reduced mouth opening or interference with mastication. Both of these complications are particularly sources of discomfort for patient and may cause additional trauma to the treated mucosa.There are several ways to reduce these complications: the most widely used is surgical excision of the scar but this treatment often requires more invasive surgery. Case report. A 58-year-old male patient, treated surgically for a carcinoma in situ in the right cheek, reported to our oral medicine sector after this excision. The patient manifested …

Minimally invasive approach to eliminate pyogenic granuloma using Er, Cr: YSGG laser

2013

Backgroung. PG or granuloma pyogenicum is a common tumor like growth of the oral cavity that is considered to be of non-neoplastic nature, arising commonly as a result of constant low grade trauma and poor oral hygiene and in few instances because of hormonal disturbances. Since it is a benign lesion, choice of treatment is surgical excision with removal of underlying cause if any. A newer treatment modality using laser has been reported. Case report. A 16-year-old male patient reported to our sector of oral medicine with the chief complaint of intra-oral painless growth since four months. Past history and medical history did not reveal any relevant information. He was taking no medication …

Immediate dental implant placement in post-extraction-infected sites decontaminated with Er,Cr:YSGG laser: a retrospective cohort study

2022

Antecedentes científicos y objetivos de estudio La técnica quirúrgica para la colocación inmediata de un implante dental en un alvéolo post-extracción fue propuesta inicialmente en 1976 por Schulte y Heimke. La colocación de implantes dentales en alveolos post-extracción ofrece ventajas tales como un tiempo de tratamiento reducido y una mayor comodidad para el paciente; además esta técnica permite reducir la exposición quirúrgica del paciente y limitar la reabsorción fisiológica ósea posterior a la extracción del diente, conservando la estética. La justificación para la extracción de un diente comprometido a menudo está relacionada con la presencia de una lesión periapical, consecuencia de …
