Root Caries Prevention Potential of Chopped CO2 Laser: an In Vitro Study

Abstract: The objective of this study aimed to assess the caries-preventive potential of various chopped CO2 laser parameters, and to explore the effect of the laser energy density on the caries inhibition activity.Roots of extracted human premolar teeth were irradiated with three various energy densities (25.47, 50.93, and 101.86) J/cm2, by changing the number of pulses, the pulse duration, and the spot diameter. The CO2 laser system emitted laser with 10.6m in wavelength. All roots were subjected to carieslike lesion… Show more

“…The lasers that have been investigated in the past for caries inhibition are CO 2 , Nd: YAG, Er: YAG and Er Cr: YSGG. Lasers, such as CO 2 , Nd: YAG and Erbium: YAG have all been said to play a role in caries inhibition [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. These lasers have the disadvantages of having high costs and being bulky, and the results obtained using them are debatable.…”
