    would someone clarify Biostimulation of leions? what lesions would u biostimulate? At what powers with each laser…ie, Waterlase/Erbium, Nd Yag, Co2 etc. which laser works best for what lesions…This is an important thread that I think would benefit the group with some more explanation…I think there is some research now with Biostimualtion of post extraction sites as well….Comments….

    Ron, Great questions. With regards to “what lesions would you stimulate?” – There is a great list of indications in the Table of Contents in Tuner & Hode’s new text “Laser Therapy”. You can view the T.O.C. on the web. Follow the link: http://ww.laser.nu/index.htm
    Then click on “Now the New Book by Tuner/Hode”
    Then click on “View the table of contents”
    Look for Medical Indications and Dental Indications.
    This will answer the questions of what conditions are treatable with laser therapy. I bought the text a couple months ago and it has been very helpful in understanding these concepts. It also has great descriptions of how different wavelengths affect tissues differently: i.e. shallow vs. deep lesions; chronic vs. acute lesions; etc.

    I think Bob gave a great “Cliff’s Notes” version of how the proposed cell activity occurs. And if this is the case, there aren’t any cells you couldn’t treat with laser therapy, given the right indications.

    I find this field fascinating, and the amount of research which has been done over the last thirty years is astonishing.

    Anybody have any other sources to list regarding biostimulation or laser therapy?

    Yep–

    Try Amazon.com for this link for Tina Karu’s books and others:

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/102-2231011-1003358

    Four references there.

    And already mentioned by Kelly is Low Level Laser Therapy by Jan Tuner and Lars Hode book from Lasers, Inc (Larry Lytle, DDS)  605-342-5669 or 605-787-6045
