11/01/2014 - "The 1,550-nm erbium glass laser is one of the infrared lasers that may be useful in the treatment of acne. "
12/01/2015 - "To evaluate the safety and efficacy of acne treatment using an integrated cooling-vacuum-assisted 1540-nm erbium:glass laser, a prospective interventional study was conducted. "
11/01/2014 - "The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an erbium glass laser in treatment of active acne and to study the effect of this type of laser on sebaceous glands. "

01/01/2013 - "Results from performed studies show removal of intra canal debris and smear layer by different lasers and particularly the Erbium laser family. "
04/01/2013 - "This study evaluated the root canal seal achieved by irradiation with an erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser, and the optimal output power to remove debris and the smear layer were determined. "
01/01/2001 - "Results of the present study indicate that erbium,chromium:YSGG laser irradiation with water spray cooling is a useful method for removal of smear layer and debris from root canals."
07/01/2010 - "Comparative analysis of root surface smear layer removal by different etching modalities or erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser irradiation. "
11/01/2011 - "Efficacy of smear layer removal at the root tip by using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium garnet laser."

10/01/1996 - "Erbium laser sclerostomy (ELS) ab externo is a minimally invasive addition to conventional fistulating glaucoma surgery. "
11/01/2003 - "To study the safety and efficacy of endoscopic erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser goniopuncture combined with cataract surgery to treat glaucoma. "
11/01/2001 - "In a blind eye with secondary glaucoma following silicone oil surgery, Erbium:YAG LTA had been performed applying 12 neighboring single laser pulses (5-7 mJ pulse energy, 200 micros pulse duration) to the trabecular meshwork. "

07/01/2013 - "This blind randomized clinical trial assessed the clinical efficacy of the erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser radial firing tips (RFT) versus the concomitant use of 3 % sodium hypochlorite and interim calcium hydroxide paste in necrotic teeth with chronic apical periodontitis. "
01/01/2014 - "As clinical studies conducted to explore the safety and efficacy of new procedures are considered an important focus in endodontic research, the aim of this controlled clinical study was to compare a laser-assisted endodontic treatment using an erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser and radial firing tips (RFT) versus the conventional use of 3% sodium hypochlorite and interim calcium hydroxide paste, in teeth with chronic apical periodontitis.
