: Various studies have revealed that the Er:YAG laser is effective in endodontic, periodontal and surgical treatments, and it is used in actual clinical practice. In particular, the Er:YAG laser shows excellent clinical effects when cutting hard tooth tissue, and there have been many studies on adhesive restoration involving teeth irradiated with Er:YAG laser. In this study, focusing on the one-bottle one-step bonding system, we performed tensile bond and marginal leakage tests to evaluate its adhesive properties to enamel and dentin irradiated with Er:YAG laser. Experiment 1Flat bovine enamel or dentin surfaces were prepared using a model trimmer and water-resistant polishing paper (#600) , and were irradiated with Er:YAG laser (100mJ, 10pps) . Non-irradiated specimens were used as a control. After bonding procedures were performed on these adherent surfaces of 3mm in diameter, the specimens were stored in 37℃ distilled water for 24 hours, and were divided into two experimental groups : the 24-hour storage group and the thermal stress group. In the thermal stress group, the specimens were subjected to 2,000 or 5,000 thermocycling in water from 5℃ to 55℃ with a dwell time of 30s at each temperature. Thereafter, a tensile bond test was performed in each group (n = 10) . Experiment 2Saucer cavities (3mm in length, 2mm in width, and 1.5mm in depth) in extracted human molars were prepared setting the
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.
