“…Chemically, the mineral composition of enamel might be changed to pyrophosphate, tetra-calcium phosphate, or α- and β-tri-calcium phosphate with higher calcium: phosphorus ratio; these changes might contribute to the higher acid resistance of the irradiated enamel surfaces [ 37 ]. This is inconsistent with Rodrıguez-Vilchis et al, 2011 [ 35 ], Hsu et al, 2000 [ 36 ], Liu and Hsu, 2007 [ 37 ], and Garma and Jasim, 2015 [ 38 ], which is even better than surfaces treated by fluoride [ 39 ].…”

This study evaluated the structural changes of enamel treated by the Regenerate system and carbon dioxide (CO2) laser against acid challenge. Thirty human enamel slabs were prepared and assigned into three groups: Group I: untreated (control); Group II: treated with the Regenerate system; and Group III exposed to CO2 laser. All specimens were subjected to an acid challenge (pH 4.5–7.0) for 14 days. Specimens were evaluated and compared at 120 points using five Raman microspectroscopic peaks; the phosphate vibrations ν1, ν2, ν3, and ν4 at 960, 433, 1029, and 579 cm−1, respectively, and the carbonate at 1070 cm−1, followed by Vickers microhardness test. The ratio of carbonate to phosphate was correlated to the equivalent microhardness numbers. The intensities of phosphate peaks ν1, ν2, and ν4 were reduced in all groups post-acid challenge, while the carbonate and ν3 were significantly increased (p < 0.000). Surfaces treated by Regenerate exhibited higher peak intensity of phosphate and carbonate before and after pH-cycling (p < 0.05). The mineral content in enamel had a direct effect on tissue microhardness, and the CO2-lased surfaces showed a reduced carbonate content and higher microhardness values. Both approaches induced surface changes that can protect enamel against acid challenge resulting in a significant benefit for dental healthcare.

“…Laser irradiation has been widely studied in vitro and showed its effectiveness in increasing enamel resistance to decalcification, suggesting that it could be useful during orthodontic treatment. As presented in the literature, many laser types have been used to prevent enamel demineralization around orthodontic appliances, including Er:YAG, [23][24][25] Nd:YAG, 13,21,22 CO 2 , [18][19][20][21][22][26][27][28] diode, 29,30 and argon laser. [14][15][16][17]31,32 Although the clinical application of lasers during orthodontic treatment for a preventive purpose is still limited, the present review showed clinical effectiveness of laser irradiation in inhibiting enamel demineralization.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the in vivo effectiveness of laser in the prevention of enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment. A search of electronic databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials-CENTRAL, OpenGrey, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses-PQDT Open from ProQuest) was carried out. In vivo studies, randomized and/or controlled clinical trials regarding the use of laser treatment to prevent enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment were included. The risk of bias of the studies included was assessed independently by 2 authors according to Cochrane guidelines. Eight articles were identified, comprising a total of 183 patients. Significant differences were observed in enamel demineralization between laser-irradiated and control groups for all laser types: argon laser, CO 2 laser, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, and Optodan ® laser, except for argon laser application for curing bracket adhesives, where no statistically significant differences were noted. Laser irradiation may be effective in inhibiting demineralization during orthodontic treatment, but there is a need for further randomized, controlled clinical trials, utilizing different laser systems to determine real clinical efficacy of the technique.
