    What is the current thought on treating herpetic lesions–diode or biostim, and what settings and dosages?? Thanks for any thoughts on this!

    Phil,

    Are you not able to get into the private periolase forum?

    LPT ablation settings except at 100usec both “passes” and 75 joules TOTAL exposure to the implant site.

    Robert,
    Really not much different. Sort of. When I use my Waterlase I still do the Rabbit technique. The MD is a different story and with your upgrade its pretty close to the MD. With the MD I just start defocused and go to work. The key for me is 10Hz and 1.5 to 2W in focus. It works . The only time I run into a problem is with alloys. Then I go back to the rabbit technique. That works but not as predictable as I want. Today I run the laser as in the rabbit technique at the same time as I take the alloy out. That has worked the best so far. Tricky at first but worth the effort.

    I often wonder how this all works. The A and C fiber stuff and the blocking of the Na and P pump all sound good.. I just think that with the depth of penetration of the Er class of lasers this is not too likely. It seems that it is more likely a photoacoustic effect that is dependent on 15 to 20 HZ or a cooling of the pulp . What I find interesting is the use of shorter pulse duration at higher wattage and the reporting of lack of sensitivity by Lares users. It all seems to make more sense .

    Doing Lanap
    I get to see more and more relationship b/w perio and occlusion. And i like to remind myself with some questions.

    1. when do you stop adjusting occl ?
    eg. when you see group contact
    or do u adjust more than that ….?

    2. for pt's who have constricted envelope, are we afraid of locking their occlusion?

    I want to reason more about this rather than grinding all blue/red marking.

    I do take out occlusion where severe localized bone loss and lots of mobility teeth. I guess I like to know more definitive way and general area to adj occl.

    Am I making sense ?….

    Have you considered asking this question in the Periolase forum?

    Bob,
    I can't find the private forum? Sort of got away from visiting the site, now since the new format, can't find the secret entrance.

    Could y'all give me a 2 year status report of your patients' parasthesia.

    I can offer an almost 4 year followup on mine.
    Still same as last time we treated. Area of parasthesia had decreased greatly with treatment. Not 100% but enought to be able to eat and drink w/o difficulty.
