The numerical simulation of polymer laser ablation is essential for applications such as laser
propulsion and laser deposition. Based on the pyrolysis effect of polymers, this paper …

Laser triangulation measurements of Er: YAG and Er, Cr: YSGG laser-ablated volumes in
hard dental tissues are made, in order to verify the possible existence of a “hydrokinetic” …

The ability to control high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) thermal ablation using echo
decorrelation imaging feedback was evaluated in ex vivo bovine liver. Sonications were …

Abstract Background and Objective To evaluate histologically the characteristics of repetitive
Er: YAG laser exposure of skin in combination with cryogen spray cooling (CSC), and its …

We investigated proposed mechanisms of laser lithotripsy, specifically for the novel,
experimental Thulium fiber laser (TFL). Previous lithotripsy studies with the conventional …

The list of indications for which Variable Square Pulse (VSP) Er: YAG laser systems can be
used is continuously expanding. For example, ablative fractional resurfacing treatments …

In this chapter we focus on the key elements that form our current understanding of the
mechanisms of pulsed laser ablation of soft biological tissues. We present a conceptual …

For centuries, patients and physicians have sought a safe and effective method for treat-ing
skin changes associated with photoaging. Currently, a variety of modalities are used to treat …

Background Removal of cement-retained implant fixed restorations when needed, can be
challenging. Conventional methods of crown removal are time consuming and costly for …

METHODS The case described consisted of the removal of a lower lip fibroma through a
blue diode laser (λ= 450 nm). RESULTS The efficacy of this device, even at very low power …
