If Israel deploys Iron Beam sometime this year, as planned, it will become the first operational laser air-defense system.
The moveable table was located beneath the accelerator and properly aligned by a laser air-docking system in a focus-surface distance of 100 cm.
Suggested implant surface treatments are scaling, CO2-lasers, air abrasive powder, chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide irrigation, or local antibiotics.
The ablation treatment of a sintered hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) sample has been studied by irradiating the excimer laser in air at one atmosphere for the micro machining treatment.
The interrelationships of inner-core index with laser wavelength, air hole diameter and size of inner core are investigated.
The laser-treated coating in argon revealed the presence of submicron scale porosity, while no porosity was evident in the coating surface treated by laser in air.
Thin films of novel collagen/elastin composite and gelatin were irradiated by Ti:sapphire fs laser in air at central wavelength 800 nm, with pulse durations in the range of 30 fs.
Based on three studies [24, 25, 27], WMD in BOP scores between test and control groups amounted to −23.12 % [SE = 4.81; p < 0.001; 95 % CI (−32.56, −13.69)] favouring alternative methods (i.e. Er:YAG laser, glycine air polishing,) for biofilm removal over mechanical debridement (p value for heterogeneity: 0.55, I 2 = 0.0 % = low heterogeneity; 0.39) (Fig. 3a).
Based on five studies [24, 25, 27, 28, 31], WMD in PD scores between test and control groups amounted to −0.49 mm [SE = 0.21; p < 0.05; 95 % CI (−0.91, −0.08)] not favouring alternative methods (i.e. Er:YAG laser, glycine air polishing, ultrasonic system) for biofilm removal over mechanical debridement (p value for heterogeneity: 0.029, I 2 = 62.8 % = substantial heterogeneity; 0.39) (Fig. 3b).
We synchronously radiate Er:- and Ho YAG lasers in air and show that both lasers have different ablation effects.
In laser-assisted air plasma spraying (LAAPS) process, the laser beam interacts simultaneously with the plasma torch in order to increase the temperature of the coating and possibly remelt the coating at the surface.
