Journal ArticleDOI
Scanning Electron Microscope Observations of CO2 Laser Effects on Dental Enamel
TL;DR: SEM micrographs revealed evidence of melting, crystal fusion, and exfoliation in dental enamel after exposure to an extensive range of CO2 laser conditions in a wavelength-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
IR laser ablation of dental enamel : mechanistic dependence on the primary absorber
Daniel Fried,Michael J. Zuerlein,John D. B. Featherstone,W. Seka,Clifford W. Duhn,S.M. McCormack +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanism of ablation of dental enamel at IR laser wavelengths from 9.3-10.6 μ m and 2.7-3.0 μ m.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved intra-oral enamel demineralization test model for the study of dental caries.
TL;DR: The improved IEDT model has the capability of studying fundamental aspects of the caries process, namely, the relationships among dietary substrate challenge, plaque pH change, plaque organic acid profiles, microbial virulence properties, and enamel demineralization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared radiometry of dental enamel during Er:YAG and Er:YSGG laser irradiation
Daniel Fried,Steven R. Visuri,John D. B. Featherstone,Joseph T. Walsh,W. Seka,Richard E. Glena,S.M. McCormack,Harvey A. Wigdor +7 more
TL;DR: The magnitude and temporal evolution of the surface temperature during multiplepulse irradiation of the tissue was dependent on the wavelength, fluence, and pre-exposure to laser pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of CO2 laser on pulpal temperature and surface morphology: an in vitro study.
TL;DR: There are threshold conditions above which pulsed CO2 laser light used for soft tissue surgery may cause detrimental changes to underlying oral hard tissue and to the pulp, according to the results of this study.
