Longitudinal Evaluation of Bond Strength to Enamel of Dental Adhesive Systems Associated with Nd:YAG Laser

Abstract: Scanning electron microscope analysis showed evident areas of micromorphological alterations in lased samples after 12 months of water storage. Nd:YAG laser irradiation of enamel through unpolymerized total-etch adhesive significantly reduced bond strength compared with the control. Bond strength decreased when enamel samples irradiated with Nd:YAG laser through unpolymerized adhesives were stored in water for 12 months.

“…3941 Recent studies have shown that laser treatment of the enamel surface at energy levels of 60 mJ or lower causes the formation of a glass-like surface, while treatment at higher energy levels results in craters and cracks. 42,43 According to Barcellos et al, 44 Nd:YAG laser irradiation significantly reduced the bond strength in bovine incisor enamel. Rattanacharoenthum et al 45 showed that the bond strength of sealant to laser-irradiated enamel was significantly lower than that of phosphoric acid-etched enamel.…”

“…The technique used by Gonçalves and others proposed to apply the laser irradiation on the unpolymerized adhesive system, which differed from the methodology of the present study, in which irradiation was performed on a resin sealer. The difference in the composition of the material may have interfered in the effectiveness of the technique, considering that adhesive systems are translucent materials without fillers, containing solvents that favor their volatilization during laser irradiation [40]. Whereas the resin sealer has a filler as well as greater viscosity and opacity, properties that may have acted as Bbarriers^, interfering in the action of laser on the enamel surface, thus favoring the progression of the demineralizing process.…”

“…This technique to smooth and flatten the surface reduces the incorporation of air bubbles into the body of the material. 7,15,21,22,23,24,25 Light curing was performed for 40 seconds on each surface, using halogen light (Foto Optilight LD Max, Gnatus -50/60 Hz), with the active tip of the equipment directly touching the glass slides. 7,19,26 Specimens were removed from the matrix after a 10 minute mean time.…”
