“…They also promote rapid wound healing and repair, have a low possibility of developing bacterial resistance, can showcase selective targeting of microflora and cause minimal tissue damage without any surface texture alteration. [ 9 27 28 29 30 ] This was in concordance with Aimetti et al ., who concluded that lasers brought about a decrease in clinical parameters such as bleeding on probing, plaque index, and probing pocket depth that was comparable to the conventional mechanical debridement alone.

Aims: The intraoral microbiota has a high potential to undergo dysbiosis, causing inflammatory changes with respect to the tissues surrounding either a natural tooth or an implant. Thus, the longevity of implant prosthesis depends on a thorough implant decontamination protocol. Among all the techniques available for doing so, laser is garnering increasing popularity, owing to minimal bleeding, high efficiency, and faster healing. However, limited literature exists regarding the superiority of lasers over chlorhexidine (CHX), the indisputable gold standard antibacterial chemical agent. The aim of this study was to compare the percentage of bacterial reduction of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans from implant healing abutments post red diode laser therapy versus 0.2% CHX treatment. Settings and Design: The current study had an ex vivo , observational, case–control design. Materials and Methods: Patients reporting for the second stage of the implant surgery were taken as the source of data and the healing abutments, the clinical samples. Eleven patients were chosen with one intraoral implant serving as the test site for laser treatment and another, the control site for CHX treatment. Microbiological analysis was performed via quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction to compare the bacterial reduction percentage after each treatment. Statistical Analysis Used: Repeated measures ANOVA and independent sample t test were used. Results: The mean bacterial viability of the test group (laser) was 1.2%–1.6%, and 0.6%–1.4% for the control group (CHX). The former caused a mean bacterial reduction of 96.1% while the latter, 96.3%. Both the treatments caused a highly statistically significant reduction of viable bacterial counts ( P = 0.001). However, when compared, there was no statistically significant difference in the bacterial reduction, when compared in between the two ( P = 0.902). Conclusion: Laser treatment is at par with chemical implant surface decontamination. It can help bypass the complications of CHX and revolutionize the protocols for implant surface decontamination.

“…LANAP is a two-step process that involves first using a specialised laser to discharge the affected gingival tissue and the pathogenic bacteria and then stimulate the development of new, healthy tissue. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented bacteria and the affected periodontal tissues, effectively disrupting and destroying the dental biofilm that contains harmful bacteria [37][38][39]. The Nd:YAG laser is then used to stimulate new attachment growth and promote periodontal healing [40,41].…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of two therapeutic procedures clinically and microbiologically in the management of periodontally affected teeth: scaling and root planing alone and the laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP). Molecular biological determinations of bacterial markers through the polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method with standard PET tests (species-specific DNA probes at a time) were used for the quantification of three of the most important periodontal pathogens (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema denticola). Both nonsurgical periodontal therapies were proven effective in patients with chronic periodontal disease; however, LANAP was associated with a greater reduction in pocket depth and improved clinical outcomes, associated with a significant decrease in the amount of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The clinical results included a decrease in periodontal pocket depth, bleeding on probing, and dental plaque, with LANAP having better overall outcomes than SRP alone. The use of Nd:YAG lasers in LANAP therapy is a safe and effective procedure that is well accepted by patients.

The subject of biophysics is interdisciplinary and covers various fields of biology and physics. In this research the effect of some parameters of Nd:YAG laser on ants (Camponotus consobrinus) has been studied . This includes the effect on its external shape, as well as the percentage of the killing rate obtained. A laser radiation of a wavelength (1.064 µm) with different energies: (300, 320, 340, 360, 380 and 480 mJ) was used to irradiate ants placed at a distance of (10 cm) distance from the laser source . The irradiation times were (15 and 20 sec) for each energy. The obtained results showed an increase in the rate of ant mortality, as well as an increase in deformations, as the laser energy and the irradiation time increased. These results were recorded after different time periods (12, 24, 48 and 72 hours) after laser treatment.. The thermal diffusion within the tissues resulting from laser radiation causes increased death rates due to damage of internal structures.
