The teeth were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP), and infected pocket epithelium was removed with an 810-nm diode laser operating at a laser power of 1.7 W in continuous-wave mode (CW). Laser power was set to 1.0 W at the control panel before each measurement to facilitate mathematical analysis, and PO at the optical fiber tip was measured using a power meter. Four laser applications were performed per tooth (duration, 10\u201315\u2009sec per application; total duration, 40\u201360\u2009sec per tooth). The fiber tip was cleaved every four applications. Also, 28 irradiations (four PO measurements per irradiation) were performed in non-contact mode and used as controls.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    There were significant PO losses between applications in the study group. PO losses of 20.89%, 30.39%, and 40.26% were found between the first and second, first and third, and first and fourth applications, respectively. A low transmission loss of the optical fiber was observed in the control measurements (mean PO loss of 1.58% between the first and fourth irradiations).\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Our results indicated that optical fiber tips need to be cleaved frequently during laser curettage to minimize PO loss.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2010.2911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,1]],"date-time":"2011-04-01T13:12:17Z","timestamp":1301663537000},"page":"657-662","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Phenomenon of Laser Power Loss During Curettage of Infected Periodontal Pockets"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Silm\u00e9a","family":"Zegaib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo School of Dentistry (FOUSP)","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 L.
