    This study aimed to evaluate the anti-caries effect of fluoride associated with Nd:YAG laser irradiation in the h-eatment of enamel Eight groups (n = S) were analyzed: Negative Control pH 4.5; Negative control pH 4; Fluoride pH 4.5; Fluoride pH 4; Nd-YAG pH 4.5; Nd-YAG pH 4; (Fluoride + Nd-YAG) pH 4.5 and (Fluoride + Nd-YAG) pH 4. All samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) before and after the cycle. Quantification of phosphorus in the cycling solutions was carried out using the colorimetric method, as an indication of enamel demineralization. The anti-caries effect of the Fluoride + Nd: YAG treatment in addition to the critical pH of the enamel can be observed in the morphological analysis, however in the analysis of the demineralization solutions, the amount of phosphorus showed a difference only in the Fluoiide group compared to the others in the investigative pH.

    The use of fluoride products associated with high intensity laser irradiation are beneficial for dental caries prevention because it increases the surface area, improving the formation of fluorapatite (FA), which gives greater acid-resistance of enamel against bacterial acids. The objective of this study is to determine the critical pH of dental enamel treated with acid fluoride phosphate 12,300 lF-/g (APF) and Nd:YAG laser 84 J/cm2, as there is no precedent to determine this pH. The study consisted of 4 groups (n = 15): G1: Negative Control; G2: APF; G3: Nd:YAG; G4: APF + Nd:YAG. Each group was randomized into three subgroups (n = 5) for pH cycling. The cycling was designed to simulate three conditions: below critical pH of enamel hydroxyapatite (pH 5.0); pH below critical for hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite (pH 4.5); condition further below the critical situation to investigate extent of acid resistance of the enamel (pH 4.0). The samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and solutions were quantified fluoride (specific ion electrode) and phosphate (colorimetric method). In SEM and FTIR (phosphate band) at pH 5, only the APF and APF + Nd:YAG groups did not present demineralization. At pH 4.5, only the APF + Nd:YAG group was integrated. At pH 4, APF + Nd:YAG showed signs of mild demineralization while the other groups showed aggressive signals. It is concluded that the irradiated fluorapatite has critical dissolution pH different from fluorapatite formed only with the application of fluorine.

    Morphological, optical, and elemental analysis of dental enamel after debonding laminate veneer with Er,Cr:YSGG laser

    Laminate veneer removal is becoming a routine procedure at the dental clinic and the use of laser can facilitate its removal. This work aimed to evaluate the morphological, elemental, and optical changes in the remaining enamel after veneer removal using Er,Cr:YSGG laser. Forty‐four enamel slabs were prepared and randomly distributed into nine experimental groups, for bonding using lithium disilicate laminates with three different luting agents (Variolink Veneer, RelyX U200, and RelyX Veneer). Then each agent was debonded using Er,Cr:YSGG laser (2.78 μm) using two different protocols:3.5 W, 48.14 J/cm2, 20 Hz non‐contact and 3.0 W, 48.14 J/cm2, 20 Hz non‐contact. The morphological, optical, and elemental analysis of enamel was performed before cementation and after laser debonding, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). The level of statistical significance adopted was 5%. The EDS analysis of enamel after debonding revealed a significant increase in silane and carbon, as well as a decrease in calcium and phosphate contents. Analysis showed the presence of residual cement in most experimental groups but the morphological analysis showed alteration of the enamel's prisms only in the groups that used RelyX Veneer and Variolink Veneer cements. There was no evidence of deleterious morphological changes resulting from irradiation. However, an increase in the optical attenuation coefficient by the OCT was observed due to the presence of the remaining cement. It can be concluded that the Er,Cr:YSGG laser, in the mean powers used, is efficient for veneer removal without causing deleterious effects for the enamel.

    Dental enamel submmitted to gamma radiation and ER,CR: YSGG laser associated to fluoride

    The in situ caries model can use bovine dental samples in human volunteers. Gamma radiation is a very efficient sterilization method that is not expected to alter the mineral content of the hard tissues, avoiding biases in the results. Samples (n=40) were irradiated through a source of 60Co multipurpose irradiator aiming complete sterilization (25 kGy/h) with the purpose of accumulating the native plaque on them at an in situ study. An Er,Cr:YSGG laser was used alone and in combination with the topical applications of: 1 dentifrice (1,100 μg F /g) or 2 APF (12,300 μg F--/g). Morphological and chemical analyses were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), determination of alkali soluble fluoride concentration by specific ion electrode and surface microhardness determination. Then, the 15 volunteers used palatal devices containing previously treated samples and remained using F dentifrice. The effects of Fformation, on the reduction of demineralization were correlated. The biochemical analysis for quantification of alkaline soluble F determined the groups in which the laser was used after the topical application of the two types of fluoride products of different concentrations (dentifrice and APF) to be statistically different (p≤0.05), suggesting a prolonged effect of the synergy of the treatments in the reduction of the demineralization. Electronic Microscopy Scanning analysis has not shown thermal damage neither interprismatics changes from hydroxyapatite crystals, at dental enamel outside the buccal environment, after 25 kGy gamma irradiation, established that gamma radiation could be used aiming dental enamel sterilization.

    Effect of Er,Cr:YSSG laser on dental Veneers removal submitted to gamma radiation
    2019 - ZANINI, NATHALIA; RABELO, THAIS F.; ZAMATARO, CLAUDIA B.; JUVINO, AMANDA C.; KUCHAR, NIELSEN G.; CASTRO, PEDRO A.A. de; ANA, PATRICIA A. da; ZEZELL, DENISE M.
    The search for aesthetical rehabilitive treatment such as porcelain veneers is increasing over the past years. After CEP-FOUSP approval, the present study investigated the debonding of 20 ceramic fragments of lithium disilicate(5x5x1 mm) from human dental enamel bond with Variolink ® N. The samples were splitted in two groups: control (without gamma irradiation) and treatment (gamma irradiation: GL). EDS and FTIR was performed on enamel in both groups, before and after treatment. After cementation of the ceramic fragments the control group was only irradiated with Er, Cr: YSGG laser (λ = 2.78 nm) to remove the fragments, whereas the GL was gamma irradiated with 0.07 kGy followed by laser irradiation Er, Cr: YSGG for removal of laminates.The laser parameters were previously determined as follows: 3.5 W. The gamma and laser (GL) group was exposed to gamma radiation and the erbium laser was applied in both groups to remove lithium disilicate laminates from human dental enamel. Thus, the load required to remove the laminates after simulation of the radiotherapy treatment in the human dental enamel was analyzed by mechanical assay. In this assay, the GL group presented higher loads for the removal of the laminates compared to the control group. This indicates that the gamma radiation induces a water radiolysis by modifying the hybrid layer of the adhesive cement and increases the bond between the enamel and the resin cement, which hinders the laser debonding of the laminates.
