Medical Diode Laser has an active application in minimally invasive treatment. Wavelengths suitable for absorption by tissues, precisely adjustable energy, and high adaptability to various surgical fibers are features that distinguish laser treatment from traditional scalpel-based ways.
The advantages of laser treatment are its controlled and precise fractional energy, which brings the advantages of small incisions, low complications and short recovery time. The same applies to PLDD, which can also achieve better postoperative results for herniated discs and no recurrence for a long time.
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a procedure in which a surgical fiber probe is inserted into the disc space and the laser energy emitted by the fiber is applied to vaporize and ablate the nucleus pulposus to achieve decompression and neuromodulation and thus pain relief. It is a minimally invasive surgery with significant clinical advantages and falls under the category of percutaneous intervertebral surgery.
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.
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 effect of LLLT causing laser analgesia are due to the stabilization of depolarising potential of nerve fibres 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.
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a congenital condition that restricts the tongue's range of motion. An unusually short, thick or tight band of tissue (lingual frenulum) attaches the bottom of the tongue's tip to the floor of the mouth, causing difficulties in infants to adulthood through adolescence. Breast-feeding in infants, difficulty while eating, speaking, swallowing malocclusion, sleep apnea are few to mention.
