Download or read book Healing of CO2 Laser and Nd YaG Laser Induced Bone Defects written by Lynn Roosa Friesen and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rat model was used to compare the healing response, as assessed by light microscopy, of tibial bone treated by CO2 laser, Nd:YAG laser with and without air/water surface cooking, and bone bur, and between specimens with the char layer removed versus an intact char layer, respectively, at different healing time intervals over a 21 day observation period. Bur treated specimens demonstrated a fibrous layer attached to the floor of the defect with early osteoid formation by day 7. By day 14, trabecular bone had formed within the defect. Bone remained vital and hematopoietic cells were healthy throughout the marrow. Damage present on day 0 and 3 was similar for specimens treated with the CO2 laser and the Nd:YAG laser without surface cooling, exhibiting vacant lacunae and heat damaged bone. Specimens treated with the Nd:YAG laser with surface cooling revealed a delayed response. Day 0 specimens revealed osteocytes present in the lacunae except immediately adjacent to the laser defect. By day 3, specimens were similar to other laser treatment groups. All laser treatments resulted in vertical and lamellar fractures, although these were more common with the CO2 laser. All laser treatments resulted in cellular damage within the marrow with an inflammatory reaction, although this was also delayed in specimens treated by the Nd:YAG laser with surface cooling. All laser treated specimens demonstrated an obvious delay in healing of the outer (periosteal) surface as compared to bur treatment specimens. Normal healing of rat bone was disrupted by laser treatment as demonstrated by trabecular bone formation within the marrow space and the presence of internal remodeling. Delayed periosteal healing appeared to be directly related to the presence of a char layer with was frequently lifted from the bone surface by a poorly adherent fibrin layer. Healing following Nd:YAG laser treatment without surface cooling was similar to that following CO2 laser treatment. Speciments treated with the Nd:YG laser with surface cooling differed from other laser treatment specimens in that the density of char was significantly decreased (particularly following removal) and new bone was attached to the base of the laser defect.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background Bone overheating during osteotomy preparation for dental implant has been extensively investigated. However, thermal changes during implant insertion were seldom reported. Several factors might influence heat generation, such as the osteotomy dimension, implant surface and the friction between implant and bone. A common approach to reach high levels of primary stability is to undersize the implant osteotomy and the use of rough implant surfaces, which might increase the risk of bone overheating.Aim/ Hypothesis The aim was to evaluate the in vivo bone temperature change at implant placement using different osteotomy dimensions, implant surfaces and frictional characteristics. It is hypothesized that the insertion in an undersized osteotomy would generate a greater temperature change.Materials and Methods On ten female Finnish Dorset crossbred sheep, four implants were placed in both metatarsal bones. To modify the implant-bone friction, the presence of a lubricant body fluid (sheep saliva) was tested. Eight experimental groups were created based on the following features: undersized and conventional osteotomy, moderately rough and turned surface, presence and absence of a lubricant fluid on the implant surface (Table 1). Intraosseous bone temperature was measured with a type-K thermocouple. The position of the sensor tip was at the distance of 1 mm from implant surface and depth of 2mm from bone surface. Bone temperature was continuously measured from just before implant placement until 1 minute after the implant placement. Maximum and minimum values were registered. The values of temperature change for each implant were calculated. Three-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the influence of the osteotomy preparation, implant surface and frictional characteristics.ResultsThe mean values of temperature change were 6.4 8,2, 4.0, 5.1, 8.1, 9.6, 3.4, and 5.2 degrees Celsious increase respectively from Group 1 to 8 (Figure 1). Regarding the surgical drilling protocol, the overall test showed that undersized groups showed significantly higher temperature than conventional osteotomy groups (P value = 0.000). In the presence or absence of a lubricant body fluid, the overall test showed that absence of a lubricant body fluid, showed significant higher temperature change than when it was present (P value = 0.002). Differences of implant surface topography, the overall test presented no statistical differences between moderately rough surface and turned surface (P value = 0.651).Conclusions and Clinical implications Intraosseous temperature change during implant insertion was mainly affected by osteotomy dimension. Undersized osteotomy induces a greater risk of bone overheating. The presence of a lubricant fluid on implant surface reduced the temperature increase, while surface characteristics did not show any influence on temperature modifications. To reduce the risk of implant failure due to bone overheating, implant installation in undersized sites should be cautiously performed in cortical bone.

Download or read book Atlas of Current Oral Laser Surgery written by S. Namour and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CO2 laser beam was introduced in oral laser surgery in 1980, and it revolutionized the field. Its effects on oral soft tissues offer many advantages: bloodless surgery, decontamination of the surgical site by heat generated, no need for suturing healthy patients, simplicity of use, and perfect control of the removed tissues. In addition, using the CO2 laser beam improves the tissue quality of the healed area due to collagen secretion induced by the tissular beam action, and has a bio-modulation effect on irradiated tissues. This atlas will examine and discuss some procedures common in different fields of current oral surgery. First, we present an introduction to laser physics, as well as guidelines for proper clinical protocol. Then, we examine how the laser beam can be useful to practitioners in different specialties, such as periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, implantology, pre-prosthetic surgery, and oral soft tissues diseases treatments. Over 200 full-color photographs accompany step-by-step surgical procedures including frenectomy, removal of infected tumors, ablation of benign tumors, gingivectomy, treatment of vascular lesions, treatment of hyperkeratosis, and vestibular deepening. Finally, we engage in a round table discussion with some of the best international experts in the field of oral surgery.
