Abstract EN
Background.
The introduction of Er:YAG laser in dentistry for ablation of hard tissues advocated an alternative method of enamel etching for orthodontics purpose.
Materials and Methods.
55 extracted human third molars were inserted in acrylic resin blocks and divided into five groups of 11 teeth.
Group 1 was treated with 37% orthophosphoric acid for 30 seconds.
Group 2 was treated with laser irradiation (Er:YAG Fidelius III, Fotona, Slovenia) at 80 mJ and 4 Hz.
Group 3 underwent laser treatment (80 mJ, 4 Hz), followed by 37% orthophosphoric acid for 30 seconds.
The teeth in Group 4 were treated with laser at 40 mJ and 10 Hz.
The teeth in Group 5 were treated with laser (40 mJ, 10 Hz), followed by 37% orthophosphoric acid for 30 seconds.
The adhesive remnant index was determined after debonding.
Results.
Kruskas-Wallis test showed that location parameters (median and mean) are significantly different between Groups 2 and 4 when compared with control group; on the contrary no significant difference was detected between Groups 3 and 5 with the controls.
Conclusion.
The use of Er:YAG laser alone, as in Groups 2 and 4, showed no significant advantages over phosphoric acid in the bonding procedure for orthodontics brackets.
