Background: Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) has been reported as a side effect of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications. Risk factors in addition to antiresorptive therapy have been identified. These include oral surgical procedures with extractions, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, diabetes and smoking. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non invasive method with biostimulating effects on soft and hard tissues.

In this work, it is presented a diagnostic method for the simultaneous characterization of the electron plasma density and temperature based on the exploitation of wideband THz pulses. This method is of particular interest for many applications e.g. plasma-based accelerator, laser-produced plasma.

The study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the use of Toluidine Blue (TB) on extracted teeth infected with biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis. Fifty-four extracted teeth with single-roots and single canals were mechanically shaped, autoclaved, and contaminated with E. faecalis.

Abstract: Background: Ankyloglossia is an anatomical alteration of the frenulum length, volume,
compactness, and insertion. It can lead to alterations in the ability to swallow and chewing, and
dysfunctional coordination amongst cranio-facial muscles; these alterations are often responsible for
respiratory alterations, skeletal malocclusions and dyslalia or the delay of speech. The aim of this study
is to estimate the efficacy of lingual frenulectomy with diode-laser technology through a qualitative

Introduction: Prosthetic implant rehabilitations for partial or complete edentulous patients are increasing, sometimes followed by failure due to peri-implantitis, irreversible disease characterized by tissue inflammation, bleeding, probing pocket depth ≥4 mm, bone loss, with/out purulent exudate. Therefore, there are many clinical studies about treatment possibilities. Decontamination of peri-implantitis pockets is one of diode laser applications in dentistry.

Laser Dentistry: Current Clinical Applications by the World Federation for Laser Dentistry (WFLD) is a comprehensive guide the state of the art, principles and practices of laser dentistry. This collection of articles were compiled by Professor Aldo Brugnera Junior DDS, MS, PhD and Professor Samir Namour, DDS, MS, PhD, is written for all those interested in the clinical use of laser technology related to dentistry, research, development and biology, and medicine and surgery.

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser treatment of oral vascular lesions using the multiple spot irradiation technique with a single-pulsed wave. Background data: In laser therapy for vascular lesions, heat accumulation induced by excessive irradiation can cause adverse events postoperatively, including ulcer formation, resultant scarring, and severe pain. To prevent heat accumulation and side effects, we have applied a multiple pulsed spot irradiation technique, the so-called "leopard technique" (LT) to oral vascular lesions.

OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study is to evaluate secondary intention healing process and postoperative pain of oral soft tissues after laser surgery with the use of a compound containing chlorhexidine and sodium hyaluronate.

Background: The aim is to demonstrate the validity of the monitoring through intraoral scanner of the dental movements and the real impact, advantages, and convenience, in terms of treatment time and efficiency gain, to frequently monitor a patient with the scanner application. Methods: A movement control of palatally impacted canines was performed, surgically treated with laser opercolectomy. Three-dimensional models of the patient’s dental arch were obtained with intraoral scanner during a monitoring time of 4 months.

Anche l’odontoiatria laser deve fare i conti con la pandemia da COVID-19, rivedendo determinati protocolli e, nello stesso tempo,cercando di valutare i benefici che questa tecnologia può fornire agli operatori e ai pazienti.
