Effects of Er:YAG Laser Irradiation on the Microtensile Bond Strength to Bleached Enamel

Abstract: Bleached enamel surfaces μTBS values were not significantly different from those of unbleached enamel. Even though Er:YAG laser irradiation with both parameters had no influence on μTBS for bleached and unbleached enamel, SEM analysis revealed that Er:YAG laser irradiation with 25.52  J/cm(2) should not be recommended, as enamel ablation was observed, whereas irradiation with 4.42 J/cm(2) did not promote any remarkable changes on enamel surface.

“…After completion of μTBS testing, the failure mode was observed using a stereomicroscope (Olympus SZ61) at × 40 magnification and classified as cohesive failure in enamel, adhesive failure between the enamel-composite interface, or cohesive failure in the composite. [ 18 22 ]…”

“…[19] This contradictory results are probably due to the diversity of the parameters, methodologies, and adhesive systems utilized. [20] There is also some controversy concerning the need of additional acid etching application to tooth tissues irradiated by Er:YAG laser. [1014]…”

“…The water molecules among the hydroxyapatite crystals absorb the beams and evaporate; as a result, the internal pressure increases and microexplosions occur leading to substrate ejection and microstructural alterations. 25,28,29 Although several studies have assessed the effects of erbium family lasers on bleached enamel, 3,[30][31][32] to the best of our knowledge no study has compared the effects of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers on bleached dentin. Based on our results, Er:YAG laser irradiation led to significantly higher bond strength compared to the control group.…”
