In the present study, the laser used showed a self-limiting characteristic, which is a phenomenon that can be of great value in preserving important structures close to the working area, giving a margin of safety to the surgeon, in case of over-irradiation. This self-limiting effect is attributed to liquid filling the cavity by the bleeding and irrigation process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
