Laser-tissue interaction in dental surgery is primarily photothermal, in that incident energy is converted into heat. The level of heat (temperature) will define the target tissue change.

"These findings significantly contribute to advancements in deep tissue imaging techniques ... Nonlinear dynamics of femtosecond laser interaction with the central nervous system in zebrafish ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly ...

Miniature organs on a chip could allow us to do scientific studies with great precision, without having to resort to animal testing. The main problem, however, is that artificial tissue needs blood ...

"Even before the commercial availability of Nd:YAG lasers, there are experts who have a deep understanding of laser-tissue interaction and can use traditional lasers at appropriate energies and ...

When used for surgical and dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue that it comes in contact with. When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts ...

LASER (Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) has a wide range of uses in dentistry. Lasers in hard dental tissue are primarily used for prevention of cavities, bleaching ...

Lasers can: cut and remove diseased tissue coagulate blood vessels to form solid clots kill germs and bacteria sterilize the area Lasers work by creating an energy change in atoms. The laser light ...

Your surgeon will use a laser to create a thin flap of tissue in your cornea and fold it back. Your surgeon will ask you to stare straight ahead at a target light while they use another laser to ...

A holmium laser is a surgical laser that has proven effective and safe in treating cases of excess soft tissue. A HoLEP surgery consists of removing bulky prostate tissue that may prevent urine ...

The bright red light from a laser travels along a patient's scar tissue, turning the brownish skin into a white color that looks like tire tracks. The procedure is the resurfacing of damaged skin ...
