Abstract:
Die Neuerung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung einer Leitung (6, 6', 6") durch die Haut (5) eines Patienten, wobei die Leitung einen photodynamischen Stoff (8) aufweist, der bei Bestrahlung hochreaktive Sauerstoffderivate freisetzt. Somit kann eine Desinfektion/Entkeimung im Bereich einer Durchführung sowohl auf der Außenseite der Haut als auch im Durchführungsbereich durch die Bestrahlung der Durchführung erreicht werden.
Abstract:
Periodontal disorders such as disorders associated with a dental implant are treated. An average power for a laser is selected via a user interface on a tablet, along with a set of permissible laser parameters provided in response to the selected average power. A gingival trough or flap is created around the implant with the laser. Infected tissue is selectively ablated or denatured via photothermolysis, and a pocket is lased around the affected implant. Marginal tissues are compressed against the implant.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Provided are multi-wavelength phototherapy devices, systems and methods for the treatment of a disorder or disease, including multi-wavelength low level light therapy ("PBM"), in particular to multi-wavelength PBM 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. Ophthalmic phototherapy devices, systems, and treatment methods to expose an eye to selected multi-wavelengths of light to promote the healing of damaged or diseased eye tissue. The devices include a housing having an interior; an eyepiece disposed on the housing and configured and arranged for placement of an eye of the patient adjacent the eyepiece; a first light source producing a first light beam having a first therapeutic wavelength and disposed within the housing; a second light source producing a second light beam having a second therapeutic wavelength and disposed within the housing, where the second therapeutic wavelength differs from the first therapeutic wavelength by at least 25 nm.
Abstract:
A photo-chemically activated micro-bubble based root canal disinfection method for disinfecting a shaped root canal comprises (a) introducing a photoactive solution into the root canal, the photoactive solution containing a photoactive compound (such as methylene blue) dissolved in an alcohol carrier solution (such as polyethylene glycol and/or ethanol); (b) removing excess photoactive solution from the root canal; (c) introducing a micro-bubble solution comprised of an oxygen carrier (such as perfluorocarbon), an oxidizing agent (such as hydrogen peroxide) and a surfactant (such as a nonionic polyoxyethylene surfactant); (d) sonically or ultrasonically activating the micro-bubble solution in the canal; and (e) introducing light into the canal.
