Laser lithotripsy was invented at the Wellman Center for Photo medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in the 1980s to remove impacted urinary stones. Optical fibers carry light pulses that pulverize the stone. Candela licensed the technology and released the first commercial laser lithotripsy system. [2] [better source needed] Initially 504 nm dye lasers were used, then holmium lasers were ...
Laser-assisted new attachment procedure ( LANAP) is a surgical therapy for the treatment of periodontitis, intended to work through regeneration rather than resection. This therapy and the laser used to perform it have been in use since 1994. [citation needed] It was developed by Robert H. Gregg II [1] [2] and Delwin McCarthy .
