Treatment of a Ranula Using an Er,Cr:YSGG Laser

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2006
A ranula is an extravasational cyst arising from the sublingual gland. The "cyst" cavity does not have an epithelial lining, and because of this is notoriously difficult to eliminate. Usual treatment requires complete excision of the sublingual gland, exteriorizing the gland through establishment of a secondary ductal structure by placement of a long ...

Treatment of amalgam tattoo with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser

Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry, 2010
AbstractAmalgam tattoos are common, asymptomatic, pigmented oral lesions that clinically exist as isolated, blue, gray, or black macules on the gingival, buccal, and alveolar mucosae, the palate, and/or the tongue. In this case report, the successful use of an erbium, chromium‐doped:yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet laser for the removal of an ...

Spectroscopic and laser characteristics of Er,Cr:YSGG

IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 1988
The spectroscopic and laser properties of crystal Er,Cr:YSGG are discussed and it is shown that excitation is efficiently transferred from chromium to erbium. Laser operations at 2796 nm are achieved with much lower thresholds than in other erbium-doped crystals. >

Reconditioning of ceramic orthodontic brackets with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser

Lasers in Medical Science, 2012
It is now known that erbium lasers are effective in composite removal, but there is minimal information about their efficacy on recycling of ceramic brackets. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the percentage of remaining adhesive on the base and the shear bond strength of debonded ceramic brackets after being reconditioned by an Er,Cr:YSGG ...

Effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser application in the treatment of experimental periodontitis

Lasers in Medical Science, 2014
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of an erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser in the absence or presence of manual scaling and root planning (SRP) for the treatment of induced periodontitis in rats. Ligatures were placed in the subgingival region of the maxillary first molar. After a 7-day period, the

Enhancement of bonding to enamel and dentin prepared by Er,Cr:YSGG laser

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2009
AbstractBackground and ObjectiveErbium lasers are potential tools to remove caries and dental hard tissue but bond strengths of composites to those preparations are reported to be lower than conventional methods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical excavation and/or chemical alteration on bond strength of composites to ...

Influence of Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation on enamel caries prevention

Lasers in Medical Science, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser irradiation on the acid resistance of dental enamel. Forty human enamel samples were divided into four groups. They were manually irradiated with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser device (λ = 2.78 µm, 20 Hz, 20 s), in a scanning mode, with and ...

Clinical Assessment of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Application for Cavity Preparation

Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine & Surgery, 2002
In this study, an erbium,chromium:YSGG (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser emitting at a wavelength of 2.78 microm was clinically applied to remove caries and prepare cavities, and the clinical outcome was evaluated. Effective clinical application of Er,Cr:YSGG laser had been expected from previous studies. This study included 44 patients (26 females, 18 males; aged 23-

Comparing the efficiency of Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser for the treatment of generalized aggressive periodontitis

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -), 2021
This study aims to determine the effects of Er,Cr:YSGG and diode laser treatments on IL-1β, IL-8, and TNF-α levels in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis.Twenty-six generalized aggressive periodontitis patients were enrolled in the study. We performed three treatment models: "scaling and root planning (SRP-only)," "SRP + Er,Cr:YSGG laser,
