Ablation ability of an erbium laser with a 2.64-μm wavelength during preparation of dental tissues

Abstract: Using electronic microscope we have studied the opportunity to apply YAG:Cr,Tm-Er laser irradiation (=2.64 jtm) for preparation of the enamel and dentine in different modes of operation. High efficiency of enamel and dentine preparation was shown when using 50 J/sm2 energy density and frequency of pulses proceeding 3-5 n. There were no damaged effects involved teeth hard tissues in our experiences.The opportunity to apply laser irradiation to odontopreparation in therapeutic stomatology was one of the early id… Show more
