Comparison of thermal characteristics
The ideal ratio between coagulation and ablation of the Er:YSGG laser results in the following: First, less bleeding. Second, expectation of collagen remodeling by coagulation promoted by thermal stimulation. Third, a lower risk of thermal overlap and complications. Fourth, better treatment results over a wider ablation area. Er:YAG, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Er:YSGG, erbium:yttrium scandium gallium garnet.
