Abstract:The ablation of dental hard tissue by the single-mode (TEM 00 ) Er: YAG laser radiation was investigated. For the first time dependence of removal efficiency of enamel and dentin of human teeth on the single pulse energy TEM 00 Er: YAG laser is represented. Attention is drawn to the correlation of laser energy and micro-craters form. The fact that the efficiency of human tooth enamel and dentin removal by TEM 00 Er: YAG laser radiation are close to each other is deduced from experiments. Removal efficiency for… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
