The results of investigation of ultrashort Nd-laser pulses interaction with hard tooth tissues are represented. The values of laser radiation induced destruction thresholds and efficiencies of laser processing of enamel and dentin are measured. The results of observation of nonlinear optical effects of second harmonic generation and continuum generation in enamel and dentin below the damage thresholds are reported.
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.
