Wet versus dry enamel ablation by Er:YAG laser.

Journal article The Journal of prosthetic dentistry · June 1992 The purpose of this study was to observe tooth structure and pulpal temperature changes in extracted human teeth subjected to a pulsed Er:YAG (2.94 microns) laser. Two teeth were irradiated while dry and three teeth while moistened by a fine water mist. Wh ... Full text Cite

Erbium:YAG (2.94 mum) laser effects on dental tissues.

Journal article Journal of laser applications · June 1990 Past trials with soft and calcified tissues have demonstrated that long pulse train (2.5 mus) Er:YAG (2.94 mum) laser may be used to ablate tooth structure of human teeth. Determination of physical and thermal damage to surrounding tissue during removal o ... Full text Cite
