Histopathological and Electrophysiological Study of CO₂, Er:YAG, and CO₂ + Er:YAG Laser Effect on Peripheral Nerve

摘要

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphological, histopathological, and electrophysiological changes of peripheral nerve after CO₂ (carbon dioxide), Er:YAG (erbium:yttrium aluminum garnet), and CO₂ + Er:YAG laser irradiation. There have been no comparative reports on CO₂, Er:YAG, and CO₂ + Er:YAG laser effects on peripheral nerve.
