摘要:
There is a need for a minimally invasive surgical treatment method for periodontitis for the removal of deep pockets, elimination of disease, creation of reattachment of the gingiva to the tooth surface and true regeneration of the attachment apparatus (new cementum, new periodontal ligament, and new alveolar bone) on a previously diseased root surface. The PerioLase® MVP-7™ including eGUI or another device capable of laser dosimetry, such as an original MVP-7™ type laser without the eGUI, achieves this with the LANAP protocol (laser-assisted new attachment procedure) and the LENAP protocol (laser excisional new attachment procedure).

Methods, systems and devices are implemented in connection with light- responsive ion channel molecules. One such method is implemented using a light- activated ion channel molecule that responds to a light stimulus. The method includes engineering the light-activated ion channel molecule in a cell; and activating the ion channel molecule, in response to light stimulus that is provided to the ion channel molecule and that has properties that do not activate a ChR2 ion channel, to allow ions to pass through the light-activated ion channel molecule.

Provided are multi-wavelength phototherapy systems and methods for the treatment of a disorder or disease, including multi-wavelength low level light therapy (“LLLT”), in particular to multi-wavelength LLLT and other phototherapy systems and methods for improving functionality in and/or restoring functionality to a cell and/or tissue through the coordinated and targeted delivery to the cell or tissue of two or more doses of light having distinct wavelengths, wherein the two or more doses of light, when delivered in a coordinated fashion, can stimulate the activity of two or more light sensitive factors that, when activated, provide and/or enhance a desired target cell functionality. Also provided are multi-wavelength phototherapy systems and methods for treatment of disorders and diseases that are associated with a diminished functionality in a cell of a patient afflicted with the disorder or disease, which can be adapted for therapeutic use by the coordinated and targeted delivery of two or more distinct wavelengths of light to a cell or tissue in a patient afflicted with a disorder and/or disease to restore or enhance, respectively, a diminished functionality to a cell and/or tissue that is associated with the disorder and/or disease healing the disorder or reversing and/or slowing the progression of one or more aspect of the disorder and/or disease. Within certain aspects, provided are multi-wavelength phototherapy systems and methods for the treatment of a damaged or diseased ocular tissue in an eye of a human, including ocular tissue that is associated with dry macular degeneration, which systems and methods include the delivery to the eye of two or more therapeutically effective doses of light, wherein the two or more therapeutically effective doses of light include a first dose of light having a first wavelength and a second dose of light having a second wavelength. These multi-wavelength phototherapy systems and methods can be used advantageously in combination with the administration or delivery of one or more additional therapeutics, including one or more small molecule, biologic, or other therapeutic treatment regimen.

A system for photodynamic therapy is provided that includes a light delivery device that delivers the illumination necessary to perform photodynamic therapy. The light delivery device includes one or more etched fibers arranged to illuminate a selective region of a body for photodynamic therapy. An illumination device is coupled to the light delivery device to provide the necessary illumination to the light delivery device.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a photo-activated modulation of smooth muscle (PAMS) technology-based skin adhesive-type low level light irradiator system using a mobile communication device. The present invention can monitor and control the charging state of a battery embedded in a skin adhesive-type low level light irradiator, which is adhered to a specific skin area of a human body using medical double-sided tape and emits and radiates visible light for a given time period, thereby inducing a bioactive substance, such as nitric oxide, to be secreted from an internal organ or tissue of the human body which is connected to the light irradiated skin area by a peripheral nerve, in real time and wirelessly using a mobile communication device.
摘要:
A light emitting module and massage device provide vaginal rejuvenation. The device exposes collagen in the vaginal area or mucosa to temperatures elevated over normal body temperature to cause the collagen to reversibly or irreversibly denature while simultaneously applying vibration. Once thermally-induced collagen denaturation has occurred, both neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis may occur and may be initiated with fibroblast proliferation, which may be promoted with vibration. Neofibrogenesis also occurs due to the fibroblastic activity, responsible for secretion of new collagen matrix to effect tissue repair. Thus, the device exploits thermally-induced collagen denaturation and repair along with simultaneous vibration to improve tissue tone, connective tissue tension and bulk tissue regeneration.
