Microbial reduction in periodontal pockets under exposition of a medium power diode laser: an experimental study in rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Port-wine stain (PWS) is a congenital, progressive vascular malformation of the dermis. The use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the characterization of blood vessels in PWS skin has been demonstrated by several groups. In the past few years, advances in OCT technology have greatly in...
