Resumo
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of diode laser (?=960 nm) irradiation on calcium solubility of dental enamel. Sixty enamel specimens were prepared from human teeth and divided into four groups (control, fluoride, laser and fluoride plus laser). Prior to the irradiation a vegetable coal diluted in physiological solution was applied to the enamel surface and the specimens were irradiated using 6,5 W of peak power, 5 ms of pulse duration, 10 Hz of repetition rate, fluency of 3,7 J/cm2 and time exposure of 10 seconds. The acidulated phosphate fluoride was applied for 4 minutes. Next, the specimens were immersed in lactic acid for 24 hours at 37 °C. The calcium content in demineralization solution was evaluated with Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry. The results indicate an increase in calcium solubility (12%) after laser irradiation, however, not statistically significant. When associated with fluoride, the decrease in calcium solubility did not differ from the results obtained with fluoride only. It can be concluded that in this experiment diode laser irradiation did not increase acid resistance of dental enamel.
