“…Adrian and Groos showed that the CO 2 laser could sterilize a scalpel blade that had been contaminated with spores [16]. The CO 2 laser has also been shown to be capable of sterilizing endodontic reamers [17]. Also, Powell and Whisenant showed the argon laser capable of sterilizing endodontic reamers at 120 J [18].…”

“…2,3,6,26,27 We can verify that conventional CVL radiation has a useful application in medicine, specifically in dermatology, but research has focused its application to soft tissue and has not expanded to the field of dentistry. [23][24][25]29,31 High-power lasers used in odontological clinics are argon, CO 2 , Nd:YAG, Ho:YAG, and ER:YAG.…”

Objective: A morphological and ultra-structural study of copper vapor laser ( = 510.6 nm) effects on enamel and dentine was performed to show the effects of this radiation. Methods: A total of 15 human molars were cut in half; 15 pieces were separated for irradiation on enamel and 15 for dentine. These two groups were further divided into five experimental groups, including a control group, comprised of three half-sections each, irradiated by a CVL laser with a power of 7 W, a repetition rate of 15,000 pulses/sec and exposed at 500, 600, and 800 msec and 1 sec irradiation times with a 5-sec interval between irradiations. Results: In an ultra-structural SEM exam, we observed that on the enamel surfaces irradiated for 1 sec there was morphological alteration that consisted of catering, flaking, and melting on the surfaces. There was no alteration for the other exposure times. On the dentine teeth irradiated for 1 sec, we observed an evident ultra-structural alteration of melted tissue and loss of morphological characteristics. In the dentine group irradiated by 800 msec, we observed ablation and a partial loss of morphological characteristics. In the dentine groups irradiated by 500 and 600 msec, no alteration was observed. Conclusions: The results showed that irradiation with CVL promoted morphologic changes in the enamel as well as in the dentine and demonstrated a need for future studies in order to establish a safe protocol for further use in the odontological practice. 494
