PIOON applications
Lasers have been used in dentistry for approximately two decades. For many intraoral soft tissue surgical procedures, the laser is a viable alternative to the scalpel. There are many categories of soft tissue procedures that can be treated by lasers.
Laser energy for ENT surgery can be used to vaporize, ablate and cut soft tissue while providing lateral thermal injury capable of coagulating blood vessels. Use in conjunction with the micro endoscope whether rigid or flexible, all options are available for safe and effective energy delivery.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is defined as laser treatment in which the energy output is low enough to produce nonthermal and biostimulatory effects. The mechanisms of the effect of LLLT causing laser analgesia are due to the stabilization of depolarising potential of nerve fibers or effects on the cellular and biochemical processes of the inflammatory responses. It is a new treatment modality and has the advantages of being painless with no side effects. LLLT has effectively used in pain during orthodontic therapy, acceleration of healing process in the wound, teeth desensitization, reduction of bacterial load in ulcerative conditions like aphthous ulcer, infections ,etc.
Dental laser treatment for periodontal disease was one of the first reasons why the technology was developed. Diode lasers are able to help destroy infectious bacteria and remove heavy amounts of buildup.
The search for and development of new liposuction technologies and techniques has grown steadily over the past decades in order to keep pace with patients requirements and expectations for greater efficacy, safety and minimal scarring. The 1470nm laser light beam has suitably low melanin and hemoglobin absorption for skin penetration and respectively high water and fat absorption for selective photothermolysis. The 1470nm diode laser proved to be safe and selective for laser lipolysis, with a marked reduction in the duration of the procedure and improved tolerability by patients.
