Preservation of natural tooth structure requires early detection of the carious lesion and is
associated with comprehensive patient dental care. Processes aiming to detect carious …

A carbon dioxide laser at 9,300 nm has a high absorption affinity for water and a shallow
depth of penetration. It can be used for soft tissue surgery and hemostasis. Besides, it …

Background: It remains uncertain as to whether or not CO2 laser is able to hinder
demineralization of enamel. The possibility to use bovine instead of human teeth on …

CO2 lasers can be operated at high laser pulse repetition rates for the rapid and precise
removal of dental decay. Excessive heat accumulation and peripheral thermal damage is a …

The structural and chemical modifications induced in dentin by ultrafast laser ablation were
studied. The laser experiments were performed with a Yb: KYW chirped-pulse-regenerative …

The surface topographical, compositional, and structural modifications induced in human
enamel by femtosecond laser ablation is studied. The laser treatments were performed …

The theory of hard tissue ablation reported for IR lasers is based on a process of
thermomechanical interaction, which is explained by the absorption of the radiation in the …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the bond strength of orthodontic
brackets using laser versus acid etching. Background data: Debonding of brackets is a …

A nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) was investigated in cutting dental roots. The focus of the
investigation was defining the preparation accuracy and registration of thermal effects during …

In the present work, the influence of external cooling on the temperature rise in the tooth
pulpal chamber during femtosecond laser ablation was investigated. The influence of the …
