Andy,

Good point about the journal and its status amongst the perio people.

And good thinking. 908nm near infra-red is VERY similar in effects to 1064nm (156nm difference), but probably penetrates through tissues even more than Nd:YAG. Other than that, they are very similar in effects on ox-redux stimulation from talking with the experts like Gregory Zeltzer, MD, PhD (a former colleague of Tina Karu at Pavlov’s Laser Institute in St. Pertersburg, Russia) and Glenn Calderhead, MD. 908 and other such diodes are so much more inexpensive, so that’s why so much research is done using those devices versus the much more expensive pulse Nd:YAGs at 1064).
