The use of the ruby laser (693.4 nm) was first described in 1960, and it was applied for hard
tissue ablation in 1964. Different wavelengths [Nd: YAG (1.065 mu m), CO2 (9.6 mu m), Ho …

Zirconia-based ceramics offer strong restorations in dentistry, but the adhesive bond
strength of resin cements to such ceramics is not optimal. This study evaluated the influence …

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of surface treatments (Nd: YAG laser, CO< sub> 2
laser, Al< sub> 2 O< sub> 3 airborne-particle abrasion, and silica-coating) on the zirconia-to …

The aim of this study was to ascertain whether laser irradiation is able to reduce caries
incidence. For this purpose, the effects of laser on enamel and on fluoride uptake were …

Diversos procedimentos clínicos e laboratoriais são necessários durante a reabilitação com
próteses totais, e a instalação de novas próteses é considerada uma etapa de significante …

Abstract Background and Objective It is widely known that Nd: YAG can increase enamel
resistance to demineralization; however, there are no studies that report the application of …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of CO2-laser
treatment immediately after applying amine fluoride solution on enamel. It was hypothesized …

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Er: YAG laser on the
formation of CaF2, after the application of acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF), and its …

Background and Objective Cariostatic and preventive agents are applied to create caries‐
resistant dentin surfaces and may affect subsequent resin bonding. The aim of this study …

Laser and fluoride have been shown to inhibit enamel demineralization. However, the role
of organic matrix and their interactions remains unclear. This study investigated the …
