Purpose: The aim of our in vitro study is to investigate the thermal changes on the outer root surface that occur after irradiation with a high intensive diode laser with two types of optical fibers. Material and Methods: The root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted and multi-rooted teeth (59 root canals) were prepared with Pro Taper Gold to F3 and treated with 810 nm diode laser for 8 s with circular movements from apex to orifices. Teeth are divided into two groups. A quartz light guide is used in the first group, and in the second group, the root canals are treated with an organically modified quartz light guide. The temperature changes were detected with FLIR - Т 330 Infrared Thermal Camera and the data was processed with FLIR Reporter 9 Professional software. Results: In 90% of cases, the temperature rise on the outer root surface is up to 8°C. In the first group with quartz fiber, the minimum increase in temperature is 2°C, the maximum is 11°C (in the cases with four root canals). When using the organically modified quartz fiber, the registered minimum increase in temperature is 1.2°C and maximum increase of 9.2°C (in cases with curved canals). Conclusion: Temperature changes on the outer root surface using an 810 nm diode laser are biocompatible. There is no statistically significant difference between the temperatures measured in the two types of optical fibers used - quartz and organically modified quartz light.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Indocyanine Green (ICG) and near-infrared (NIR) diode laser on <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> biofilms depending on ICG concentrations.<br/><i>S. mutans</i> biofilms were formed on a Hydroxyapatite disk, and 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 mg/mL ICG solutions dissolved in sterile distilled water and a NIR diode laser having a power of 300 mW and a wavelength of 808 nm were applied to the biofilms. The temperature changes of the biofilm surface according to the concentrations of the ICG solution were measured using a 1-channel thermocouple thermometer.<br/>Compared to the control group, in the groups with only the 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 mg/mL ICG solution application, and in the groups with the 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 mg/mL ICG solution application and light irradiation, a statistically significant decrease in the bacterial counts were observed.<br/>The temperature increase according to the concentration of the ICG solutions was 9.53℃, 10.43℃, 11.40℃, 12.10℃, 12.67℃, and 13.63℃ in ICG solutions of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mg/mL respectively.This study presents the potential for clinical application of ICG and NIR diode lasers as a new method for preventing dental caries.

To achieve complete microstructural characterization of self-aggregating systems, one needs direct images in addition to quantitative information from non-imaging, e.g., scattering or Theological measurements, techniques. Cryo-TEM enables us to image fluid microstructures at better than one nanometer resolution, with minimal specimen preparation artifacts. Direct images are used to determine the “building blocks” of the fluid microstructure; these are used to build reliable physical models with which quantitative information from techniques such as small-angle x-ray or neutron scattering can be analyzed.To prepare vitrified specimens of microstructured fluids, we have developed the Controlled Environment Vitrification System (CEVS), that enables us to prepare samples under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, thus minimizing microstructural rearrangement due to volatile evaporation or temperature changes. The CEVS may be used to trigger on-the-grid processes to induce formation of new phases, or to study intermediate, transient structures during change of phase (“time-resolved cryo-TEM”). Recently we have developed a new CEVS, where temperature and humidity are controlled by continuous flow of a mixture of humidified and dry air streams.
