Abstract

The Nd:YAG laser wavelength is in the near-infrared region of 1,064 nm and shows negligible water absorption. The Nd:YAG laser has different effects on the irradiated tissue depending on the radiation output and conditions such as time and distance. Therefore, we describe the biological effects on cells constituting periodontal tissue by Nd:YAG laser irradiation with some academic papers.
