摘要
This preliminary study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Nd:YAG and Ho:YAG lasers on enamel and dentine of extracted teeth. The Ho:YAG laser (spot size 250 mu m, energy density 4160 J/cm(2) produced a cleaner puncture in dentine with less melting of the surrounding tissue than did the Nd:YAG laser (spot size 20 mu m), energy density 50 000 J/cm(2)), which produced considerable melting and recrystalization of dentine and was more difficult to control. It was possible to cut enamel and dentine with both lasers, but considerable melted and recrystallized enamel was produced. From the limited observations of this study it appears that the Ho:YAG laser is more suitable for cutting both enamel and dentine than the Nd:YAG laser, More work needs to be done to ascertain the effect on enamel and dentine of modification of the parameters of both lasers.
