Opis

This book is especially written for physicians and dentists who are new to the exciting field of lasers. It will give you a good reference for the physical and biophysical part of laser medicine and dentistry. It may also serve you well as a reference and study material in a fellowship or masters program.There are many books about lasers and laser physics, but these are written by physicists for physicists - and they generally do not address the specific knowledge a doctor needs to be aware of when it comes to laser-tissue-interaction.In this book, I want to cut to the chase. I will give you the background information you need when new to the field of laser medicine or laser dentistry:Your laser: what is that thing you just bought or are considering to use?How does absorption, scattering and transmission in biological tissues take place?On what parameters do the clinical effects depend?How can a laser be used as a minimally invasive tool in modern medicine?
