You have two lasers for bleaching in your office. One Nd:YAG with 100 μs pulse duration,
and one diode laser with 5 ms pulse duration. Both lasers are set to an average power of 1.5 W
and 15 Hz repetition rate.
a) Calculate the duty cycle of both systems.
b) Calculate the peak powers of both systems.
c) What dosage is given to a 16 mm length root canal (ISO 40) if you stay with the laser
treatment protocol for laser-supported endodontics: 4x irradiation of the canal.
Movement speed of the 200 μm fiber is 2 mm/s.
