Objective: This investigation was performed quantitatively to determine the ranges of ablation and to evaluate the morphological changes in human enamel and dentin irradiated by Er:…
Results of these studies indicated that the clay mineral attapulgite, a hydrated magnesium silicate, was primarily responsible for the very poor settling characteristics of the slimes, and …
Vascular damage and blood flow stasis are consequences of photodynamic therapy (PDT) of solid tumors using many photosensitizers. Microvascular stasis and resulting hypoxia are …
Objective: This investigation was performed to determine quantitatively the ranges of ablation and to evaluate the morphological changes in human enamel and dentin irradiated by Er,…
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of a diode laser in deep root canal dentin. Background Data: The microbial colonization of root canal dentin …
Objective: We demonstrate the use of infrared excitation in conjunction with an efficient two-photon absorbing dye and a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy. Summary background …
All polymers exhibit gas permeability through the free volume of entangled polymer chains 1 , 2 – 3 . By contrast, two-dimensional (2D) materials including graphene stack densely and …
Of 1029 dilatation-and-curettage operations carried out in a 12-month period, more than half were in women aged under 40, and 38% were for menstrual disturbances. The yield of …
Objective: To examine the effects of low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) on bacterial growth in vitro. Background Data: LILT is undergoing investigation as a treatment for accelerating …
