Patent Searching and Data


Title:
光学療法治療装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009518064
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Methods and devices for Live Biofilm Targeted Thermolysis (LBTT) are disclosed. The disclosed LBTT methods can be used for thermolysis and coagulation of the live periodontal Biofilm with incandescent light and a targeting agent as heat sink. A delivery assembly can be used to deliver the incandescent light generated through the secondary quantum optical and thermal emissions from a carbonized near infrared diode laser delivery fiber, otherwise known as a “hot tip,” to an application region that includes live biofilm. With this novel targeted approach of exploiting the incandescent hot tip's radiant energy (i.e. its optical and thermal emissions), the physical nature of the targeted live biofilm in the periodontal pocket is changed from a mucinous liquid-gel, to a semi-solid coagulum, which then facilitates its removal from the effected pocket, with traditional mechanical SRP periodontal techniques.
