yttrium/dental caries

UNASSIGNED To compare and evaluate morphological changes and bacterial deposits in primary carious molars after caries excavation with Carie-Care, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, and round tungsten carbide bur. UNASSIGNED Thirty human carious primary molars extracted for

BACKGROUND In recent years, significant developments have been taking place in caries removal and cavity preparation using laser in dentistry. As laser use is considered for cavity preparation, it is necessary to determine the quality of restoration margins. Glass ionomer cements have great

From the currently available choices, esthetic restorative materials for posterior teeth are limited to composite and ceramic restoration. Ceramic inlays/onlays are reliable solutions for both of these treatments. For successful treatment planning, usable ceramic and adhesive systems should be

BACKGROUND Treatment of venous malformations in the orofacial region remains a challenge. Laser therapy is an alternative treatment in inoperable cases. OBJECTIVE To retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and complications associated with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser

BACKGROUND It is important to emphasize that the aspects of pretreatment techniques, as well as the composition and mechanism of adhesion, may decisively influence the effectiveness of the restorative materials in sealing cavity margins and preventing marginal leakage. OBJECTIVE This study assessed

We examined the effects of adhesive systems under study applied for a laser-cut cavity using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser on rat dental pulp at 24 h and 14 days postoperatively. Group 1, laser-cut cavities were treated with a self-etching-primer and bonding agent; group 2, pretreated with a phosphoric-acid,

OBJECTIVE To observe the morphological change of cavities in teeth prepared using the erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser with different parameters. METHODS Ten extracted cavity-free molars were divided into control group and experiment group. The control group included 2 permanent teeth
