The CO2 laser in oral and maxillofacial surgery

Wound healing following partial glossectomy using the Co2

“…It has been reported that bowel wounds created by CO 2 laser surgery in cats heal slower than similar wounds produced by the scalpel (Ben-Bassat et al, 1976). Similar observations have been made after CO 2 laser excision of oral mucosal lesions in humans (Pecaro and Garehime, 1983) and buccal mucosal wounds created in beagle dogs (Fisher et al, 1983). In contrast, healing following CO 2 laser surgery on the tongue of mongrel dogs was found to proceed with minimal delay (Mihashi etal., 1976).…”

Relevant parameters for laser surgery of soft tissue

“…Nevertheless, it is possible to use a laser for tissue ablation. Therefore, the laser is still an attractive laser for some applications 33 , 36 , 37 . However, the laser shines under remote operation conditions.…”

Clinical Evaluation of Role of Laser in Soft Tissue Surgical Guide for Implant Placement

“…Evaluating the impact of laser treatment on the soft tissues surrounding dental implants is a study topic. [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ]…”

“…Studies applying implant chamber prototypes show that canine bone grows faster and wider in routes surrounded by faces micromachined by laser than it does in channels surrounded by surfaces with blast grooves. [ 1 2 3 4 ] The newly created bone is observed to accurately link to the surfaces of the trabecular bone adjacent to the laser-treated areas, which is strongly oriented along the microgrooves.
