The efficacy of 2780 nm Er,Cr;YSGG and 940 nm Diode Laser in root canal disinfection: A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsIn
this study we evaluated in vivo the bactericidal efficacy of three
disinfection protocols for endodontic treatment of single-rooted teeth
with apical periodontitis. The results indicated that both dual laser
Er,CrYSGG/Diode and combined laser EDTA/Diode groups provide superior
bactericidal effect compared to the conventional NaOCl/EDTA group.Clinical relevanceThe
integration of lasers into root canal disinfection protocols has
demonstrated significant bacterial reduction which might promote healing
and long-term success. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Gusher of gas deep in mine stokes interest in natural hydrogen
Researchers have discovered a massive spring of hydrogen, bubbling out of a deep mine in Albania. Although it may not be economical to exploit, the surprisingly high flow of the gas is likely to raise interest in the emerging field of natural hydrogen, the overlooked idea that
Earth itself could be a source
of the clean-burning fuel.
“These deposits have been ignored by the oil and gas industry for a very long time,” says Frieder Klein, a geochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. “This goes in the right direction.”

Retrieval of cement-retained zirconia implant-supported crowns with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser
ConclusionsRetrieval of cement-retained zirconia implant-supported crowns with an Er,Cr:YSGG
laser is safe and efficient. Crowns luted with zinc oxide dental cement were retrieved
significantly faster while maintaining a significantly lower average temperature than
those luted with resin cement. Laser irradiation for decementation did not cause structural
changes to zirconia implant-supported crowns. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
