  • Title: [Nd-YAG laser probe in maxillofacial surgery].
    Author: Schlenk E.
    Journal: Dtsch Z Mund Kiefer Gesichtschir; 1990; 14(3):221-3. PubMed ID: 2102436.
    Abstract:
    The characteristic feature of Nd-YAG lasers is their great depth of tissue penetration. Surface irradiation using a handpiece has a penetration depth of 8-10 mm. To reach deeper structures the area may be irradiated using a mini-catheter with a flexible Nd-YAG probe. The specific procedures involved and the range of clinical applications are described in detail.
