Popis: Therapeutic effect with ENT diseases can be achieved removing the infected surface epithelial layer by laser ablation. To reduce adverse effects a CO 2 laser with pulse duration below 20 μs is needed. The laser treatment significantly reduced bacteria content in the mucosa right after the procedure in 89% of 54 patients. After 6 months, 78% of patients had stable improvement.
