This article is dedicated to the increasing of the effectiveness of treatment of patients with vascular lesions of the skin using the radiation of KTP-Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of532 nm. An experimental research was conducted to study the effect of laser radiation with an energy density of 4, 6, and 8 J/cm2 used on blood vessels ofauricles of experimental animals (rabbits) according to the histological study in dynamics. As a result of the experiment, it was found that laser radiation with a radiation density of up to 4 and 6 J/cm2 does not damage the epidermis of the skin, which indicates the selectivity of the effect on the blood vessels of the rabbit auricles. The histological pattern is distinctive for that ofselective photothermolysis. The processes ofneoangiogenesis, proliferation of fibroblasts, collagen production, fibrillogenesis end with the maturation andfibrous transformation ofthe granulation tissue without its cicatrical deformation. The use of KTP-Nd:YAG laser may increase the quality of treatment of patients with skin lesions.
Background. Traumatism of surgical operations in dentistry dictates the need to search for minimally invasive methods of tissue alteration. The use of lasers makes it possible to solve this problem, since laser radiation possesses a lower operative injury, selective action and activates the reparative processes in the wound. Aim. To increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of dental patients by using a diode laser. Materials and Methods. In a clinic, 134 patients from 18 to 82 years of age with various dental diseases were examined and underwent surgical treatment using a traditional method and a diode «PICASSO Lite» laser with 810 nm wavelength from AMD Lasers (USA), with the radiation power in the range from 0.6 to 1.0 W. The criteria for evaluation of the effectiveness of laser application were the data of clinical examination. Results. In comparison with the traditional method of treatment, use of a surgical laser resulted in a less pronounced postoperative edema and pain. The difference between healing time of the operative wound after use of surgical laser and after the traditional treatment was 3±0.5 days in case of suturing of the wound and 7±0.5 days in case of wound healing under the fibrinous film and under the iodoform tampon. The wound defect induced by laser radiation passed all stages of the wound process much faster that with use of scalpel. In addition, selective removal of pathological tissues reduced the likelihood of injury to the oral mucosa, which leads to reduction in the duration of treatment. Conclusions. Thus, the use of a diode laser allows to improve the technique of surgical treatment of patients and increases the effectiveness of treatment of patients with dental diseases.
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.
