Telangiectasias are the most frequent type of sequelae of infantile hemangiomas after involution. Few studies have reported the treatment of telangiectasias with 595-nm pulsed dye lasers. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a 595-nm pulsed dye laser for treating residual telangiectasias following hemangioma involution. This is a retrospective case series that analyzes the medical records and reviews the charts of 22 patients who had undergone 595-nm pulsed dye laser treatment for residual telangiectasias. Pre- and post-treatment digital images were independently assessed, and the changes were scored to ascertain the efficacy of the treatment (0 = no change, 4 = complete improvement). Of the 22 patients, 59.1% experienced complete resolution of telangiectasias following treatment. No serious complications or side effects were reported. The observations indicate that the 595-nm pulsed dye laser is effective and safe for treating residual telangiectasias following hemangioma involution.

We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of endovenous laser ablation utilizing a 980 nm device versus a 1470 nm device in the treatment of lower limb venous insufficiency. We performed a systematic review adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement. A research on PubMed, Scopus and Web of science for articles published by January 2024 was conducted. The primary endpoint was great saphenous vein (GSV) and truncal vein occlusion. Eleven studies encompassing 3061 patients and 3193 truncal veins, were included. The 1470 nm device demonstrated superior truncal vein and GSV occlusion outcomes compared to the 980 nm device at the early, one-year, and medium to long-term follow-up intervals. Odds ratios (OR) were 2.79(95%CI:1.31-5.94), 2.22(95%CI:1.21-4.07), and 2.02(95%CI:1.24-3.29) for truncal veins and 2.54(95%CI:1.119-5.41), 2.06(95%CI:1.07-3.95) and 2.04(95%CI:1.25-3.33) for GSV, across the respective intervals. While both devices demonstrated minimal, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT) ≥ 2, and burn estimates, the 1470 nm device exhibited improved paresthesia, risk ratio (RR), 0.51(95%CI:0.34-0.77) and pain outcomes, standardized mean difference (SMD), -0.62(95%CI:-0.99to-0.25). Subgroup analysis displayed enhanced occlusion outcomes with the 1470 nm device for the six-month and one-year intervals, irrespective of fiber type. Radial fibers were associated with improved paresthesia outcomes (β=-0.9520,p = 0.03). This review emphasized the enhanced efficacy of the 1470 nm device over the 980 nm device, regardless of fiber type. Radial fibers showed promise for improved paresthesia outcomes, suggesting similar safety profiles for both systems. Conclusive remarks on pain outcomes were impeded by data limitations.

The review critically evaluates the current state of studies investigating laser irradiation for modifying titanium surfaces to enhance the biointegration of dental implants. Laser modification is a rapidly evolving physicochemical surface modification process with the potential to revolutionize dental implant technology. A thorough search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Science Direct, MEDLINE, and Web of Knowledge, was conducted to identify relevant articles. The review focuses on the surface features of laser-modified implants, encompassing in vitro cell culture experiments, rare animal experiments, and limited clinical trials. Of the 26 selected sources, 21 describe surface features, while only two involve in vivo human experiments. The review highlights the lack of long-term clinical experience and calls for further research to mature these technologies. Despite the absence of a consensus on optimal laser types and settings, the overall results are promising, with few negative outcomes. As research in laser irradiation of titanium surfaces progresses, significant advancements in dental implant technology and improved patient well-being are anticipated.

Electrosurgical and ultrasonic devices are used in surgical procedures for hemostatic sealing and bisection of vascular tissues. Previous benchtop studies alternatively demonstrated successful infrared laser sealing and cutting of blood vessels, in a sequential, two-step approach. This study describes a smaller, laparoscopic device compatible design, and simultaneous approach to sealing and bisection of vessels, with potential optical feedback. A 1470-nm infrared diode laser sealed and bisected 40 porcine renal arteries, ex vivo. A reciprocating, side-firing, optical fiber, housed in a transparent square quartz optical chamber (2.7 × 2.7 × 25 mm outer dimensions), delivered laser energy over an 11 mm scan length, with a range of incident powers (41-59 W) and treatment times (5-21 s). Vessel diameters ranged from 2.5 to 4.8 mm. Vessel burst pressure measurements were performed on each cut end (n = 80) with success indicated by pressures exceeding 360 mmHg. All vessel ends were successfully sealed and bisected (80/80). The highest incident power, 59 W, yielded short treatment times of 5-6 s. Peak temperatures on the external chamber surface reached 103 oC. Time to cool down to body temperature measured 37 s. Infrared lasers simultaneously seal and bisect blood vessels, with treatment times comparable to, and temperatures and cooling times lower than reported for conventional devices. Future work will focus on integrating the fiber and chamber into a standard 5-mm-outer-diameter laparoscopic device. Customization of fiber scan length to match vessel size may also reduce laser energy deposition, enabling lower peak temperatures, treatment times, and cooling times.

This review aims to assess the efficacy and safety of laser therapy in managing scars resulting from cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) repair surgeries, as well as to determine the optimal timing for intervention. A systematic search was conducted across four databases using a predefined search strategy. Studies included were randomized controlled trials, non-randomized studies, and case series focusing on laser therapy for CL/P scars. Data extraction and analysis were performed using Revman Software. A total of two randomized controlled trials, four non-randomized studies, and three case series were included in the analysis. The fractional CO2 laser was the most commonly utilized type of laser. Following laser therapy, there was a significant decrease in Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) scores by 4.05 (95% CI, 2.10-5.99). Meta-analysis revealed that laser treatment groups exhibited a significantly lower mean VSS score (1.3; 95% CI, 0.02-2.67) compared to control groups. Moreover, initiating laser therapy intervention at one month postoperatively resulted in a significantly lower VSS score compared to initiation at three months postoperatively (difference of 1.70; 95% CI, 1.33-2.08). No severe complications were reported. Laser therapy demonstrates effectiveness and safety in improving CL/P scars, with earlier intervention yielding greater benefits.

Striae distensae are common dermatological complaint. Cold laser using low-level light/laser therapy (LLLT) offers healing and analgesic effects and was not yet compared to 'hot lasers' efficacy. Study objective: to assess the efficacy and safety of LLLT in the management of stria alba compared to fractional carbon dioxide (FCO2) laser alone and to the combined use of both devices. Thirty patients with stria alba were randomized to receive either LLLT using diode 808 nm; 8-12 sessions, 2-3 sessions weekly (Group A) or FCO2 laser; 2 monthly sessions (Group B) or combined both devices simultaneously (Group C). Follow up was at 1 month and 3 months after last session. The efficacy of LLLT was statistically comparable to FCO2, despite numerical superiority of the latter. The combined group had the least numerical values in all efficacy outcomes. Patients in LLLT group did not experience any downtime. LLLT is effective in the management of stria alba comparable to the FCO2 laser. The lack of downtime with LLLT is reflected positively on patient's satisfaction. However, this is counterbalanced by the frequent weekly visits. Although adding LLLT to FCO2 laser palliates the laser side effects but it offers the least efficacy. Trial registration number NCT04165226 (clinicaltrials.gov).

Orthopedic surgeons face a significant challenge in treating critical-size femoral defects (CSFD) caused by osteoporosis (OP), trauma, infection, or bone tumor resections. In this study for the first time, the application of photobiomodulation (PBM) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (BM-MSC-CM) to improve the osteogenic characteristics of mineralized bone scaffold (MBS) in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic (OVX) rats with a CSFD was tested. Five groups of OVX rats with CSFD were created: (1) Control (C); (2) MBS; (3) MBS + CM; (4) MBS + PBM; (5) MBS + CM + PBM. Computed tomography scans (CT scans), compression indentation tests, and histological and stereological analyses were carried out after euthanasia at 12 weeks following implantation surgery. The CT scan results showed that CSFD in the MBS + CM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM + PBM groups was significantly smaller compared to the control group (p = 0.01, p = 0.04, and p = 0.000, respectively). Moreover, the CSFD size was substantially smaller in the MBS + CM + PBM treatment group than in the MBS, MBS + CM, and MBS + PBM treatment groups (p = 0.004, p = 0.04, and p = 0.01, respectively). The MBS + PBM and MBS + CM + PBM treatments had significantly increased maximum force relative to the control group (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively). Bending stiffness significantly increased in MBS (p = 0.006), MBS + CM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM + PBM treatments (all p = 0.004) relative to the control group. All treatment groups had considerably higher new trabecular bone volume (NTBV) than the control group (all, p = 0.004). Combined therapies with MBS + PBM and MBS + CM + PBM substantially increased the NTBV relative to the MBS group (all, p = 0.004). The MBS + CM + PBM treatment had a markedly higher NTBV than the MBS + PBM (p = 0.006) and MBS + CM (p = 0.004) treatments. MBS + CM + PBM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM treatments significantly accelerated bone regeneration of CSFD in OVX rats. PBM + CM enhanced the osteogenesis of the MBS compared to other treatment groups.
骨科医生在治疗由骨质疏松症(OP)、创伤、感染或骨肿瘤切除引起的临界大小股骨缺损(CSFD)时面临着巨大挑战。本研究首次测试了应用光生物调制(PBM)和骨髓间充质干细胞调节培养基(BM-MSC-CM)改善卵巢切除诱导的骨质疏松症(OVX)股骨缺损大鼠矿化骨支架(MBS)的成骨特性。研究人员将患有 CSFD 的卵巢切除大鼠分为五组:(1) 对照组 (C);(2) MBS;(3) MBS + CM;(4) MBS + PBM;(5) MBS + CM + PBM。植入手术后 12 周,安乐死后进行计算机断层扫描(CT 扫描)、压缩压痕试验以及组织学和立体学分析。CT 扫描结果显示,与对照组相比,MBS + CM、MBS + PBM 和 MBS + CM + PBM 组的 CSFD 明显较小(分别为 p = 0.01、p = 0.04 和 p = 0.000)。此外,MBS + CM + PBM 治疗组的 CSFD 大小也大大小于 MBS、MBS + CM 和 MBS + PBM 治疗组(分别为 p = 0.004、p = 0.04 和 p = 0.01)。与对照组相比,MBS + PBM 和 MBS + CM + PBM 处理组的最大力显著增加(分别为 p = 0.01 和 p = 0.03)。相对于对照组,MBS(p = 0.006)、MBS + CM、MBS + PBM 和 MBS + CM + PBM 处理组的弯曲硬度明显增加(均为 p = 0.004)。所有治疗组的新小梁骨量(NTBV)都大大高于对照组(所有组,p = 0.004)。与 MBS 组相比,MBS + PBM 和 MBS + CM + PBM 联合疗法显著增加了 NTBV(所有组别,p = 0.004)。MBS + CM + PBM疗法的NTBV明显高于MBS + PBM疗法(p = 0.006)和MBS + CM疗法(p = 0.004)。MBS + CM + PBM、MBS + PBM 和 MBS + CM 处理可显著加速 OVX 大鼠 CSFD 的骨再生。与其他处理组相比,PBM + CM增强了MBS的骨生成。

In this study for the first time, the application of photobiomodulation (PBM) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (BM-MSC-CM) to improve the osteogenic characteristics of mineralized bone scaffold (MBS) in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic (OVX) rats with a CSFD was tested. Five groups of OVX rats with CSFD were created: (1) Control (C); (2) MBS; (3) MBS + CM; (4) MBS + PBM; (5) MBS + CM + PBM. Computed tomography scans (CT scans), compression indentation tests, and histological and stereological analyses were carried out after euthanasia at 12 weeks following implantation surgery. The CT scan results showed that CSFD in the MBS + CM, MBS + PBM, and MBS + CM + PBM groups was significantly smaller compared to the control group (p = 0.01, p = 0.04, and p = 0.000, respectively). Moreover, the CSFD size was substantially smaller in the MBS + CM + PBM treatment group than in the MBS, MBS + CM, and MBS + PBM treatment groups (p = 0.004, p = 0.04, and p = 0.01, respectively). The MBS + PBM and MBS + CM + PBM treatments had significantly increased maximum force relative to the control group (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively).

Frequently orthopedic surgeries require mechanical drilling processes especially for inserted biodegradable screws or removing small bone lesions. However mechanical drilling techniques induce large number of forces as well as have substantially lower material removal rates resulting in prolong healing times. This study focuses on analyzing the impact of quasi-continuous laser drilling on the bone's surface as well as optimizing the drilling conditions to achieve high material removal rates. An ex-vivo study was conducted on the cortical region of desiccated bovine bone. The laser-based drilling on the bovine bine specimens was conducted in an argon atmosphere using a number of laser pulses ranging from 100 to 15,000. The morphology of the resulting laser drilled cavities was characterized using Energy dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and the width and depth of the drills were measured using a laser based Profilometer. Data from the profilometer was then used to calculate material removal rates. At last, the material removal rates and laser processing parameters were used to develop a statistical model based on Design of Experiments (DOE) approach to predict the optimal laser drilling parameters. The main outcome of the study based on the laser drilled cavities was that as the number of laser pulses increases, the depth and diameter of the cavities progressively increase. However, the material removal rates revealed a decrease in value at a point between 4000 and 6000 laser pulses. Therefore, based on the sequential sum of square method, a polynomial curve to the 6th power was fit to the experimental data. The predicted equation of the curve had a p-value of 0.0010 indicating statistical significance and predicted the maximum material removal rate to be 32.10 mm3/s with 95%CI [28.3,35.9] which was associated with the optimum number of laser pulses of 4820. Whereas the experimental verification of bone drilling with 4820 laser pulses yielded a material removal rate of 33.37 mm3/s. Therefore, this study found that the carbonized layer formed due to laser processing had a decreased carbon content and helped in increasing the material removal rate. Then using the experimental data, a polymetric equation to the sixth power was developed which predicted the optimized material removal rate to occur at 4820 pulses.

The risk of enamel deterioration that frequently coexists with debonding of orthodontic teeth brackets elevates the mandate for finding an optimum approach for debonding them without harmful effects. This in-vitro study is intended to compare the effects of two different laser modes (scanning and circular) and a conventional method on the enamel surface after debonding orthodontic brackets. 66 extracted premolars were assigned into 3 groups. After that, light-cure composite resin was used to attach the ceramic brackets to the teeth. Amongst the test groups, Group I: specimens that were debonded using conventional debonding using pliers; Group 2: specimens that were debonded using Er, Cr: YSGG laser applications using the circular motion method; and Group 3: specimens that were debonded using Er, Cr: YSGG laser applications using the scanning motion method. Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) assessment, intra-pulpal temperature increase, enamel surface roughness after polishing, and assessment of the microstructure of enamel were carried out with scanning electron microscopy. The gathered information was examined statistically. The conventional debonding method had a significantly higher proportion of adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of 2 and 3 in comparison to the circular (p < .004) and scanning laser groups (p < .001). There was no significant difference in ARI scores between the circular and scanning laser groups (p > .05). Moreover, the circular and scanning laser debonding methods resulted in a significantly higher proportion of Enamel Surface Roughness (ESR) scores of 0 and a lower proportion of ESR scores of 3 compared to the conventional technique group (p < .001). However, there was no significant difference in ESR scores between the circular and scanning laser methods (p = .945). Lastly, the average intra-pulpal temperature was significantly higher in the circular laser group (1.9 ± 0.5 ) compared to the scanning laser group (0.9 ± 0.2) with p < .001. Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation is a tool that shows promise for debonding ceramic brackets with minimal harm to the enamel surface. The scanning laser technique is more desirable due to the lower intra-pulpal temperature increase.
