“…Nagasawa (126), one of the pioneers in laser dentistry, demonstrated an approximately 3,000 nm absorption peak of enamel and dentin in the infrared spectral region. The absorption peak that Nagasawa found for dried dental hard substances was probably mainly due to absorption by intrinsic water in apatite crystals, and minimally due to OH groups of the mineral apatite (148).…”

“…The of the Er:YAG laser falls in an area of the spectrum where both enamel and dentin have absorption peaks. 17 The objective of this study was to investigate the efficicacy of the Er: YAG laser for caries removal and cavity preparation in dentin and enamel and compare the laser results with those obtained with a control group in which a mechanical drill was utilized. This investigational study consisted of two phases.…”

The FDA has recently cleared the Er:YAG to remove all classes of caries, form the cavity preparation, and modify the enamel and dentin prior to acid etching. In this Phase I study conducted as part of the clinical trials, there were no complications and no tooth was compromised. Patients were consistently treated without anesthesia with the same or better results than the drill as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and histological studies.

“…Absorption spectra have only been measured so far for the JR-range of wavelengths between 2 and 30 m. 3 In this spectral domain dental decay appears not to preferentially absorb over healthy dentine. On the other side, absorption data of dental hard tissues in the UV-VIS region are not available.…”

The aim of the study was to fmd conditions for selective ablation of carious dentine. Absorption characteristics of healthy enamel, dentine, and carious lesions were studied by means of microspectrophotometry. It was found that in the spectral range of 330 to 520 nm optical density of carious dentine is higher by about a factor of 4 as in respect to healthy dentine. In the second part of the study ablation thresholds were studied for different tissues at 355 nm (frequency tripled Q-switched Nd:YAG-Laser). By means of a piezoelectric detector ultrasonic waves generated by ablation and subthreshold thermoelastic mechanisms were detected. Employing a fibre optic delivery system selective ablation of carious dentine occured for pulse energies exceeding 0.4 Jcm up to 1.2 Jcm2.
