Kınay Taran P, Kara Ö. Prevention efficacy of dentin tubule sealing with Nd:YAG laser against tooth discoloration induced by vital pulp treatment. Int J Paediatr Dent 2024; 34:153-159. [PMID: 37649171 DOI: 10.1111/ipd.13117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The discoloration potential of dental materials and applications such as vital pulp therapy also cause discoloration due to the presence of blood. Dentin tubule sealing methods could be used for the prevention of discoloration. AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sealing pulp chamber walls with Nd:YAG laser against discoloration caused by tricalcium silicate-based materials in the presence and absence of blood contamination. DESIGN Eighty-one extracted human maxillary incisors were prepared and randomly divided into nine groups according to the Nd:YAG laser application, the cement to be used (NeoMTA Plus/Biodentine), and the presence or absence of blood. The color measurements were obtained with a spectrophotometer at baseline and then at the sixth (T1) and 12th (T2) months thereafter. RESULTS Sealing with Nd:YAG laser and placing NeoMTA Plus or Biodentine on human blood significantly increased discoloration at T1 and T2 (p < .05). Similarly, without sealing the cavity and placing NeoMTA Plus or Biodentine on human blood significantly increased discoloration at T1 and T2 (p < .05). CONCLUSION Regardless of sealing the dentin tubules with Nd:YAG laser, NeoMTA Plus and Biodentine caused more discoloration in the presence of blood contamination.

[PMID: 37435112 PMCID: PMC10332928 DOI: 10.1155/2023/2182651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate Nd:YAG laser, calcium phosphate, and adhesive system effect as different pretreatments in different protocols on dentin permeability (DP) and bond strength (BS). Fifty human dentin discs were used (4 mm in diameter and 1,5 mm in height). Specimens were divided into five groups (n = 10): (A): adhesive system (control); (AL): adhesive system + Nd:YAG laser; (LAL): Nd:YAG laser + adhesive system + Nd:YAG laser; (PAL): calcium phosphate-based dentin desensitizer TeethMate + adhesive system + Nd:YAG laser; and group (PLAL): Nd:YAG laser + calcium phosphate-based dentin desensitizer + adhesive system + Nd:YAG laser. All materials were used according to the manufacturers' instructions. The specimens were submitted to artificial aging (5,000 thermal cycles and 12 × 104 mechanical cycles) then a bond test was performed. DP was measured using the split chamber model. Data were submitted to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired t-test, RM ANOVA, and Tukey test (p < 0.05). All treatments were effective in DP reduction. For BS, the groups PAL and PLAL had improved BS with a statistically significant difference of the control group (A). Nd:Yag laser irradiation and calcium phosphate-based desensitizing agents significantly reduced DP, and the association between them could improve the BS on resin-human dentin interface.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Dentin Hypersensitivity (DH) is a painful condition with challenging treatment options.
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effects of the diode laser on dentinal tubules by a diode laser, as well as the mechanism of the diode laser (976 nm) and chemical agent (sodium fluoride gel) in occluding the dentinal tubules in vitro.
Materials and Methods: Ten extracted human premolars were utilized in the current in vitro experimental SEM study. Using a diamond saw at a coronal dentin, disks of 1.0 mm thickness were cut perpendicular to the long axis of each tooth. Ten dentin disks were selected, and each disk was divided into four equal parts, pre-treated with Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid 17%, then divided into four groups; (Group 1) control, (Group 2) diode laser 976 nm of 1 watt, (Group 3) Sodium fluoride only and (Group 4) combined laser and sodium fluoride varnish. The samples were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope at different magnifications (100µm, 50µm, 20µm, and 2µm). ANOVA Test was used to compare the diameter of the tubules and area between the four groups, with the level of significance set at a p-value of ˂0.05.
Results: Group 1 (control, no treatment) showed an opening of all the dentinal tubules. Both samples of Group 2 (laser) and Group 3 (Sodium Fluoride) demonstrated partial occlusion and narrowing of most dentinal tubules, while Group 4 (combined) showed total occlusion of almost all the dentinal tubules. There is a statistically significant difference between the four groups regarding the diameter of the dentinal tubules and the area of 5×5 mm diameter on the dentin disks.
Conclusions: The combination of Diode laser (976 nm) 1W and sodium fluoride varnish significantly affected the dentinal tubule occlusion, thus preventing DH.

Abstract
Background Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is a common dental problem and is treated non-invasively using topical application of various desensitizing agents. When there is loss of tooth structure or tooth preparation is to be followed by a bonded restoration, it requires application of dentin bonding agent. However, the effect of desensitizers on bond strength is still controversial. Aim and Objective To evaluate the influence of different desensitizing agents on the bond strength of the dentin bonding agents. Methods and Materials PICO strategy was used to formulate the research question. In-vitro studies conducted on human teeth to evaluate the bond strength of dentin bonding agent following the application of desensitizing agent were included. Electronic databases PubMed and Cochrane and google scholar were searched using search terms alone or in combination from the year 2010 till 2020. Search was conducted using the key words and MeSH terms (hypersensitivity, bond strength, dental adhesives, dentin bonding agents). The title and abstract were read to verify the inclusion and exclusion criteria and if further any details required, full article was accessed to check the criteria and then included or excluded. Data extraction was done using a customized data extraction form. The risk of bias was evaluated using modified Cochrane Collaboration Quality Assessment tool. Results Total no of studies identified in the search were 146, after scrutiny 23 articles were eligible to be included in this study. Out of 23 articles, 17 articles were of medium bias and 6 articles were of high risk after risk of bias assessment. Conclusion According to the various articles included in this study, GLUMA and 8.0%Arginine and CaCO3 when used as desensitizing agents along with different bonding agents, were found to be highly compatible without interfering with the bond strength of the dentin adhesives.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser associated with calcium-phosphate desensitizing pastes on dentin permeability and tubule occlusion after erosive/abrasive challenges. Methodology Dentin specimens were exposed to 17% ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) solution for 5 min and randomly allocated into five groups: G1, control (no treatment); G2, Nd:YAG laser (1 W, 10 Hz, 100 mJ, 85 J/cm2); G3, Laser + TeethmateTM Desensitizer; G4, Laser + Desensibilize Nano P; and G5, Laser+Nupro®. Specimens underwent a 5-day erosion-abrasion cycling. Hydraulic conductance was measured post-EDTA, post-treatment, and post-cycling. Post-treatment and post-cycling permeability (%Lp) was calculated based on post-EDTA measurements, considered 100%. Open dentin tubules (ODT) were calculated at the abovementioned experimental moments using scanning electron microscopy and ImageJ software (n=10). Data were analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Results G1 presented the highest %Lp post-treatment of all groups (p<0.05), without significantly differences among them. At post-cycling, %Lp significantly decreased in G1, showed no significant differences from post-treatment in G3 and G4, and increased in G2 and G5, without significant differences from G1 (p>0.05). We found no significant differences in ODT among groups (p>0.05) post-EDTA. At post-treatment, treated groups did not differ from each other, but presented lower ODT than G1 (p<0.001). As for post-cycling, we verified no differences among groups (p>0.05), although ODT was significantly lower for all groups when compared to post-EDTA values (p<0.001). Conclusion All treatments effectively reduced dentin permeability and promoted tubule occlusion after application. Combining Nd YAG laser with calcium-phosphate pastes did not improve the laser effect. After erosive-abrasive challenges, treatments presented no differences when compared to the control.

Abstract
The goal of this research is to assess the desensitizing effect of a diode laser on non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) responsible for dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in two separate output forces implemented both independently and in sequential combination modalities. A randomized controlled trial for this study was applied. Sixty-nine NCCLs responsible for DH pain with severity between 6 and 9 on the VAS scale were considered. Three study groups were developed using just one lesion from three different quadrants of the oral cavity of each patient. All treatment procedures were conducted using a laser diode (810 nm, 5 W) with varying power outputs used separately or in combination. The pain by DH was evaluated at baseline, at treatment completion, and at 15 days and 3 months after each laser procedure. Data analysis was performed using a Wilcoxon test for paired samples, a one-way ANOVA test, and an unpaired t-test. The significant reduction of the mean VAS score was estimated in each study group immediately and at 15 days and 3 months after the end of treatment and compared with the baseline mean VAS score (p-value < 0.0001). The best result concerning the improvement of DH symptomatology was assessed when a combined protocol of two different output powers of the diode laser was used. The authors conclude that the diode laser (810 nm) therapy procedure combining two separate output forces (low and high power) can improve the painful symptoms of DH from NCCLs.

Abstract
Objectives The present study examined a technique for reducing dentin permeability through the application of a calcium phosphate (CaP)-based desensitiser with a laser-assisted process and evaluated adhesive-dentin bond strength. Methods: Thirty dentin discs were divided into two groups according to whether the selected desensitiser (TeethMate; Kuraray Noritake) was used prior to dentin bonding. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups (n = 5): A- Adhesive (Single Bond Universal, 3M ESPE), AL- Adhesive + Laser (Nd:YAG 60 mJ) and LAL- Laser + Adhesive + Laser. Dentin permeability values (%) were recorded before and after desensitiser application. Resin composites were placed over the bonded specimens; the latter were aged prior to microtensile bond strength evaluation. Gelatinolytic activity within the hybrid layers was examined with in-situ zymography using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Data were analysed with ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 0.05). Results Significant differences in dentin permeability were identified for all groups (p = 0.00). Both laser treatment (p = 0.182) and desensitiser application (p = 0.687) did not significantly improve dentin bond strength. Ultrastructure of the resin-dentin interface identified presence of calcium phosphate within dentinal tubules. Laser treatment did not affect hybrid layer ultrastructure. Both treatment modalities (intratubular CaP occlusion and laser) had no influence on gelatinolytic activity within hybrid layers. Conclusion Although intratubular CaP occlusion and laser treatment were effective in reducing dentin permeability, they did not affect bond strength, interfacial ultrastructure and gelatinolytic activity within hybrid layers. Clinical relevance Treatment of etched dentin with Nd:YAG Laser at 60 mJ does not adversely affect collagen ultrastructure and gelatinolytic activity within the hybrid layer. The application of a calcium phosphate-based desensitiser to etch dentin does not affect dentin bond strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a qualitative enamel defect. AIM To investigate the low-level laser therapy (LLLT) associated with fluoride varnish for the desensitisation of teeth with MIH. DESIGN A randomised clinical trial was conducted with 66 children, randomly allocated to the treatments: laser (L); fluoride varnish (FV); and laser + fluoride varnish (L + FV). The participants in the L group underwent two sessions of LLLT (48-hour interval). The FV group received four applications of varnish at one-week intervals. The L + FV underwent two sessions of LLLT and four applications of varnish. Prior to each session and one month after the onset of treatment, tooth sensitivity and its magnitude were evaluated. Intra- and inter-group comparisons were performed (α = 5%). RESULTS A significant reduction in the mean sensitivity score was found over time in all groups. After the final treatment, a significant difference was found between the L and L + FV groups (P = .011), with a lower score in the L + FV group (0.09), whereas no difference was found between the FV and L + FV groups (P = .095). CONCLUSIONS Fluoride varnish and the combination of treatments (L + FV) had greater desensitising action on teeth with MIH. Laser therapy demonstrated an immediate desensitising effect, whereas fluoride varnish had a late-onset effect.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Purpose:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare both the immediate and delayed desensitizing effects of the Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped:yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd3+:Y3Al5O12) laser with and without dentin bonding agent (DBA) on occlusal dentinal hypersensitivity (DH).
Methods and Materials:
Twenty-one patients with a total of 117 chronic occlusal hypersensitive teeth were selected. Each subject had at least three hypersensitive teeth. These teeth were randomly allocated into three groups: group 1, DBA on the occlusal surface; group 2, Nd:YAG laser (1064-nm wavelength, 30 mJ of energy, 10 pulse/s, 60 seconds, two times); and group 3, Nd:YAG laser (1064-nm wavelength, 30 mJ of energy, 10 pulse/s, 60 seconds, two times) with DBA. Pain was assessed using a visual analog scale after stimulation of the sensitive teeth by using the sharp tip of an explorer and an air blast prior to treatment and immediately, one week, one month, and three months after treatment by one blinded examiner.
Results:
A significant reduction in occlusal DH occurred at all time points in all of the experimental groups. The three groups showed significant improvements in discomfort immediately after treatment and after one week (p<0.001), but the Nd:YAG laser with DBA group had greater efficacy when compared with the other groups. The Nd:YAG laser group and Nd:YAG laser with DBA group had no significant differences at one month and three months after treatment (p>0.05); however, their desensitizing efficacy was superior to the DBA group.
Conclusions:
The Nd:YAG laser with DBA may be most effective in the long-term treatment of occlusal DH, although other measures also reduce DH.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the effects of using hydroxyl apatite functionalized calcium carbonate (FCC) particles on occluding dentinal tubules. Methods Dentine specimens extracted from eighteen human molars with exposed dentinal tubules were divided into three groups (n = 6/group): a) Cut surface with smear layer; b) EDTA (smear layer removed with 17% EDTA for 1 min); and c) Grit blasted functionalized calcium carbonate (FCC) with and air pressure of 280 kPa. Microscopic dentinal tubule occlusion, tubule diameter and tubule area were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before and after grit blasting. Biomineralization of specimens was carried out in a simulated body fluid (SBF). Elemental analysis of occluding materials was carried out using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to demonstrate the crystal structure of the biomineralized layer on dentine. Results FCC particles showed penetration into the dentinal tubules by breakage of their original particle shape and size. EDTA treated surface had higher number and larger size tubules than those with smear layer or grit blasted (p < 0.005). SEM-EDX analysis revealed mineral precipitation of calcium phosphate on the SBF immersed dentin specimens. XRD analysis showed typical crystal structure of hydroxyl apatite for the biomineralized surface layer on dentine. Conclusions Grit blasted FCC particles initially occluded effectively the opened dentinal tubules and biomineralization occurred in tubules primarily occluded by the FCC particles. However, in the optimal in vitro conditions in SBF, no difference between biomineralization was found between the grit blasted surface and the control surface. Clinical significance Several materials and methods have been established for treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity although a golden standard treatment has not been discovered. Grit blasted functionalized calcium carbonate has a potential to occlude and remineralize exposed dentinal tubules. This could offer a more biological approach on treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the preventive efficacy of three dentin tubule occlusion methods against discoloration caused by triple-antibiotic paste (TAP). Sixty extracted human incisors were sectioned, and the access was opened. The specimens were randomly allocated to the following four groups (n = 15): bonding application (BD), teethmate desensitizer (TM), Nd:YAG laser application (LS), and no surface treatment (control, C). Specimens were discolored with TAP over a period of 3 weeks. The color was measured by spectrophotometry at two time-points: initially and after 3 weeks of TAP placement. Color differences (∆E) were calculated and analyzed. Discoloration was visually noticed in all teeth after 3 weeks. The differences between the control group and the three dentin tubule occlusion methods were statistically significant (p < 0.05); however, there were no statistically significant differences among the BD, TM, and LS groups (p > 0.05).

Abstract
Introduction: The objective of this in vitro study is to evaluate the effective and long-term occlusion of dentinal tubules using a novel calcium lactate phosphate (CLP) based desensitizing agent. Methods: Dentin disks (n = 9) were pre-etched using 1 M lactic acid for 30 s and individually treated with Colgate® Pro-Relief™ paste, CLP paste, and double distilled water (ddH2O) by a rubber-cupped handpiece. Dentin disks were analyzed under optical micrographs for pre-treatment, directly after treatment, and 14 days post-treatment. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey’s test were used to determine whether there were any statistically significant differences in dentinal tubule diameter. Results: A significant decrease occurred in the mean tubule diameter for dentin disks treated with CLP paste. A decrease was observed from 3.52 ± 0.83 µm to 2.62 ± 0.42 µm right after treatment, further decreasing to 1.71 ± 0.45 µm after immersion in artificial saliva for 14 days (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that the CLP based desensitizing paste has remineralization properties and provides instant and lasting effectiveness in dentinal tubule occlusion.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dentinal tubule occlusion potential and penetration of Clinpro® White Varnish (5% sodium fluoride + tri-calcium phosphate) in the presence or absence of Nd:YAG laser. Seventy-five dentin samples collected from 38 freshly extracted human molars were randomly divided into five groups (n = 15). Groups A, B, D, and E were varnished with Clinpro, whereas group C (no treatment) served as the control group. Groups B and E were further irradiated with Nd:YAG laser (1.5 W, 10 Hz, 1 min). All study groups were subjected to pH cycling (kept in 0.3% citric acid 5 min/day for 5 days). Groups A, B, and C were evaluated for tubule occlusion using scanning electron microscopy. Groups D and E were evaluated for penetration with confocal laser scanning microscopy (SEM). Non-parametric Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn's statistical tests were used for analysis of SEM results. The penetration depths were analyzed with one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's Least Significant Difference tests. Tubular occlusion of groups A and B were significantly greater than group C (p < 0.05). Tubular occlusion of group B were significantly greater than group A (p < 0.05). Penetration depth for group D was significantly greater than group E (p < 0.05). Laser application improved the tubular occlusion capacity of Clinpro. Contrary, laser reduced the penetration of Clinpro. SCANNING 38:619-624, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the combined effect of fluoride varnish to Er:YAG or Nd:YAG laser on permeability of eroded root dentine. DESIGN Sixty slabs of bovine root dentine (2×2×2mm) were eroded with citric acid 0.3% (pH 3.2) during 2h and then kept in artificial saliva during 24h. Specimens were randomly assigned in 6 groups (n=10), to receive the following treatments: fluoride varnish; fluoride varnish+Er:YAG laser; fluoride varnish+Nd:YAG laser; non-fluoride varnish; non-fluoride varnish+Er:YAG laser; non-fluoride varnish+Nd:YAG laser. The Er:YAG (100mJ, 3Hz) and Nd:YAG (70mJ, 15Hz) were applied for 10s. Specimens were subjected to further erosive challenges with citric acid 0.3% 4×/day, during 1min, for 5 days, remaining in artificial saliva between cycles. Dentin permeability was then assessed. Two-way ANOVA demonstrated no significant interaction between laser and varnish (p=0.858). RESULTS No effect was also detected for the main factor varnish (p=0.768), while permeability of eroded root dentin was significantly lower when such substrate was laser-irradiated, no matter the laser source (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers can be employed to control the permeability of eroded root dentin, regardless of fluoride varnish application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of laser neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) irradiation and in-office desensitizing treatment on dentin tubule occlusion. BACKGROUND DATA Literature shows a lack of long-lasting treatments for dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS Forty-eight dentin slabs (4×4×2 mm) were ground flat, polished, and treated with 27% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to open the dentinal tubules. Specimens were randomly divided into the following experimental groups (n=12): Group 1: Control (no treatment); Group 2: Nd:YAG laser irradiation (100 mJ, 85 J/cm(2) per pulse with a quartz fiber of 400 μm, in scanning movements); Group 3: In-office prophylaxis with pumice; Group 4: In-office Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Desensitizing Paste. Treatments were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. After treatment, the specimens were submitted to a sequence of erosive and abrasive challenges, twice a day for 5 days. The specimens were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated by scanning electron microscopy immediately after treatment and after 4 and 5 days. The response variable was the amount of occluded dentin tubules per area, determined by three different examiners with the use of visual criteria, with a standardized grade created in the PowerPoint program. Data were compared with ANOVA and Tukey's test, considering a 5% significance level. RESULTS Immediately after treatment, a reduction in the number of opened dentin tubules was observed for the laser group when compared with the control group (p<0.05). After the experimental procedures, there were no quantitative differences between the amount of opened dentin tubules for all groups; however, micrographs showed some qualitative tubule occlusion for the laser group after the erosive/abrasive challenge. CONCLUSIONS only laser irradiation was capable of immediately sealing the dentinal tubules; however, none of the treatments showed efficacy in maintaining tubule occlusion after the chemical and mechanical challenges.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Abstract Objective: The aim of this randomized longitudinal clinical study was to assess different treatment protocols for dentin hypersensitivity with high-power laser, desensitizing agent, and its association between high-power laser and desensitizing agent, for a period of 6 months. BACKGROUND DATA The literature shows a lack of treatment for dentin hypersensitivity, and lasers are contemporary alternatives. METHODS After inclusion and exclusion analysis, volunteers were selected. The lesions were divided into three groups (n=10): G1, Gluma Desensitizer (Heraeus Kulzer); G2, Nd:YAG Laser (Power Laser(™) ST6, Lares Research®) contact mode, laser protocol of 1.5 W, 10 Hz, and 100 mJ,≈85 J/cm(2), four irradiations performed, each for 15 sec, in mesiodistal and occluso-apical directions, totaling 60 sec of irradiation with intervals of 10 sec between them; G3, Nd:YAG Laser+Gluma Desensitizer. The level of sensitivity to pain of each volunteer was analyzed by visual analog scale (VAS) using cold air stimuli and exploratory probe 5 min, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. Data were collected and subjected to statistical analysis that detected statistically significant differences between the various studied time intervals of treatments (p>0.05). RESULTS For the air stimulus, no significant differences were found for each time interval. For the long-term evaluation, all groups showed statistical differences (p>0.05), indicating that for G2 and G3, this difference was statistically significant from the first time of evaluation (post 1), whereas in G1, the difference was significant from the post 2 evaluation (1 week). Comparison among groups using the probe stimulation showed significant differences in pain (p<0.001). Only in G1 and G3 did this difference become significant from post 01. CONCLUSIONS All protocols were effective in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity after 6 months of treatment; however, the association of Nd:YAG and Gluma Desensitizer is an effective treatment strategy that has immediate and long-lasting effects.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Objectives
This in vitro study aimed to microscopically evaluate and compare the occluding effect of the Nd:YAG laser and different dentin desensitizing agents on human dentinal tubules.
Materials and Methods
The Nd:YAG laser (SunLase™ 800) and four commercially available and professionally applied dentin desensitizers (Gluma® desensitizer, Tenure Quick®, Quell™ desensitizer, and VivaSens®) were investigated in this study. Sixty-four extracted intact human molars were used. Each dentin surface was divided by shallow indentation into two halves, one of which was used for treatment and the other of which served as a control. The dentin surfaces were etched to remove any smear plugs and to mimic the open dentinal tubules of sensitive dentin using 0.5 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (pH 7.4) for two minutes (applied with a microbrush) and then rinsed with an air-water syringe for 30 seconds. The laser samples (n=16) were randomly divided into four groups of four samples each. These groups were the step-up technique group, the 14-day group, the one-minute group, and the two-minute group. Forty-eight samples were treated with the four tested desensitizing agents and were randomly divided into four groups (n=12/group). Each group was further subdivided into three subgroups (n=4). Samples of the first subgroup were treated for 14 days, while those of the second subgroup were treated once. Samples of the last subgroup were fractured longitudinally after a single treatment. All of the samples were then examined under a scanning electron microscope.
Results
The Nd:YAG laser–irradiated dentin showed reduction or complete obliteration of the dentinal tubule lumen; thus, the treatment modified the original dentinal structure. The lased dentin surface in the two-minute group showed bubble-like changes in the area of the dentinal tubules' orifices. Statistically, the two-minute group was found to have a significantly higher percentage of partially or fully occluded tubules than did the one-minute group. All of the studied desensitizing agents produced occlusion of the dentinal tubules; however, the appearance of the precipitates, the level of coverage, and the degree of dentinal occlusion varied among the tested products.
Conclusion
Throughout the specified period of this study, occlusion and/or narrowing of the open dentinal tubules have been successfully achieved with both treatment approaches.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common painful condition of the teeth, associated with the exposure of the dentin to external environment of the mouth. However, little is known about the etiology and predisposing factors, which can compromise management. The aim of this paper is to summarize existing information about epidemiology, mechanisms, etiology, differential diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical relevance
A better understanding of the etiology and factors involved in dentin hypersensitivity will help the management of the hypersensitivity teeth.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mineral content of dentin prepared using three different desensitizing agents and the Nd:YAG laser. The occlusal third of the crowns of 30 molar teeth were cut with a slow-speed diamond saw sectioning machine under water cooling. Dentin slabs from the 30 teeth were randomly divided into five experimental groups, each comprising six slabs. The five groups were treated as follows: group A, no treatment; group B, treatment with oxalate-containing desensitizing agent (BisBlock); group C, treatment with resin-based desensitizing agent (Admira Protect); group D, treatment with glutaraldehyde-containing desensitizing agent (Systemp); and group E, irradiation with the Nd:YAG laser (DEKATM ) at 0.40 W. The levels of Mg, P, Ca, K, and Na in each slab were measured by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and the Tukey HSD test. The effect of desensitizing agents and laser irradiation on the dentin surface were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope. There were no significant differences between the groups (p > 0.05). Group E was showed the lowest Ca/P ratio. SEM showed that the resin-based agent occluded the dentinal tubules, the glutaraldehyde-containing agent increased the Ca/P ratio, and Nd:YAG laser irradiation decreased the Ca/P ratio. The mean percentages by weight of Ca, Mg, K, Na and P were not affected by Nd:YAG laser irradiation or any of the desensitizing agents.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of lasers irradiation on the exposed dentinal tubule. Human tooth specimens with exposed dentinal tubule orifices were used. Three types of lasers (CO2 laser, Er:YAG laser and Ga-Al-As laser) were employed. The parameters were 1.0 W in continuous-wave mode with an irradiation time of 30 s for the CO2 laser, 30 mJ in continuous-wave mode with an irradiation time of 60 s for the Er:YAG laser, and 1.0 W in continuous-wave mode with an irradiation time of 60 s for the Ga-Al-As laser. A non-irradiated group was used as a control. After laser irradiation, the dentinal surface of each sample was observed using SEM. Afterwards, all samples were immersed in methylene blue dye solution in order to evaluate the penetration of the dye solution and observe the change in dentinal permeability after laser irradiation. SEM observation showed that the control group had numerous exposed dentinal tubule orifices, whereas these orifices were closed in the laser-irradiated groups. There was consistent dye penetration into the pulp chamber in the control group, whereas no dye penetration was evident in the laser-irradiated groups. Therefore, laser appears to be a promising treatment for reducing permeation through exposed dentinal tubules.

Abstract
This study evaluated the bond strength of resin composite to dentin, mediated by a self-etching adhesive, following the application of various dentin desensitizing treatments and artificial saliva storage. The buccal cervical areas of 24 extracted human third molars were ground flat to expose cervical dentin. The dentin surfaces were polished with 1200-grit SiC paper, then the teeth were randomly assigned to six groups, five desensitizing treatments and one control: Group I-VivaSens; Group II-Fluor Protector; Group III-Isodan; Group IV-Futura Bond NR; Group V-Nd:YAG laser and Group VI-Control (without application of a desensitizing agent). After applying the desensitizing treatments and storing the molars in artificial saliva for 14 days at 37 degrees C, Futura Bond NR was used to bond resin composite to dentin. TPH composite build-ups were constructed incrementally to a height of 5 mm. The teeth were sectioned to obtain bonded slices of 0.7 mm thick specimens containing the resin-composite joint. The specimens were then trimmed into an hourglass shape and subsequently subjected to microtensile testing at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/minute. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis analysis and multiple comparisons test. The control (Group VI) and Futura Bond NR self-etching treatment (Group IV) group yielded statistically significant higher bond strength values than the other desensitizing treatment groups tested (p < 0.005). While pretreatment of dentin surfaces with desensitizing agents (Fluor Protector, VivaSens and Isodan) and laser (Nd:YAG) reduced the bond strength values of the resin composite, higher bond strengths were achieved using a self-etching adhesive (Futura Bond NR) as a desensitizing agent.

Abstract
The use of surgical lasers has been advocated to aid in the placement and second stage recovery of dental implants, together with soft tissue contouring. In addition, laser use has been suggested as an aid in decontamination of the implant surface in cases of peri-implantitis. In endodontics, the association of laser energy with dentine hypersensitivity, bacteriocidal action and pulp-capping, has led to a growing number of reports as to its beneficial use, together with claims of morphological changes in the canal wall, to enhance endodontic treatment success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze dentinal surfaces that were exposed to acidic beverages, then treated with Nd:YAG laser and afterwards exposed to acidic beverages again. BACKGROUND DATA Dentin hypersensitivity can result from surface erosion caused by acidic beverages, which exposes and enlarges the dentinal tubules. Nd:YAG laser has been used as a treatment option. METHODS Sixty-eight dentin samples were prepared and assigned to five groups: G1, control (n = 4); G2, 3-h immersion (n = 16); G3, 3-h immersion + Nd:YAG; G4, 3-h immersion + Nd:YAG + 3-h immersion; and G5, 3-h immersion + Nd:YAG + 6-h immersion. Each group was divided into four subgroups, with different acid beverages: lemon (n = 4); passion fruit (n = 4); cola (n = 4); and wine (n = 4). Irradiation with the Nd:YAG was in contact mode, focused and perpendicular through a quartz fiber of 300 microm of diameter in scanning movements for 60 sec with a 10-sec interval and the paramenters 0.6 W, 10 Hz, 60 mJ, and 85 mJ/cm(2). Each subgroup was examined by scanning electron microscope. RESULTS All the acidic beverages contributed to exposure and increased diameter of the dentinal tubules. CONCLUSIONS Irradiation with Nd:YAG laser produced obliteration of and reduction in the number of dentinal tubules, thus modifying the original structure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This in vitro study evaluated the effects of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers on reducing dentin permeability by sealing opened tubules. BACKGROUND DATA According to hydrodynamic theory, dentine hypersensitivity occurs when dentin is exposed with tubules opened. Consequently, a painful sensation occurs due to an intensification of the dentinal permeability. Treatment, therefore, should be based on a decrease of this permeability, achieved by the obliteration of dentinal tubules. The Nd:YAG laser is known for its capacity to seal dentinal tubules; however, few studies concerning treatment with Er:YAG laser are available. METHODS The Nd:YAG laser was used, based on two parameters: (A) 1.0 W, 10 Hz, and (B) 1.5 W, 15 Hz. The Er:YAG laser was used at 60 mJ, 2 Hz, four applications of 20 sec each, at 6 mm from the surface. After irradiation, all samples were immersed in 1% Rodamine B dye solution, in order to evaluate the penetration of the dye solution and observe the decrease/increase of dentinal permeability after the laser treatment. RESULTS The laser conditions used in the present study decreased the permeability as follows: (a) when using the Er:YAG laser at 60 mJ, 2 Hz in 26.05%, and (b) when using the Nd:YAG laser at 1.5 W, 15 Hz in 19.03%--with no statistical difference between them. Additionally, the Nd:YAG laser at 1.0 W, 10 Hz, decreased permeability in 4.59%, with a smaller effect. CONCLUSIONS According to the results of this in vitro study, the Er:YAG laser at 60 mJ, 2 Hz, and the Nd:YAG laser at 1.5 W, 15 Hz are useful for decreasing dentin permeability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to evaluate, under the scanning electron microscope, the role of different parameters and angles of incidence of the Nd:YAG laser on the morphology of the radicular dentine. BACKGROUND DATA Irradiation of dentine with Nd:YAG laser removes smear layer and promotes its fusion and recrystallization, thus decreasing permeability. METHODS Forty-eight human maxillary canines were randomly divided in four groups of 12 teeth each, according to the following parameters of irradiation: 1 Wand 10 Hz; 1 Wand 20 Hz; 3 Wand 10 Hz; 3 Wand 20 Hz. Two teeth of each group were split longitudinally and the laser was applied perpendicularly to the root canal. Specimens were observed under the SEM, and the morphological alterations in dentine were recorded. RESULTS The increase of power and frequency of the laser produced more structures that characterize the irradiation of dentine by Nd:YAG laser, such as globular formations, melting and glazing, and ebullitions. Such structures were especially frequent when 3 Wand 20 pps were used as parameters. The removal of the smear layer produced root canals with more dentinal tubules visible under the SEM. CONCLUSIONS The increase in power and frequency of the Nd:YAG laser irradiation produced more visible morphological alterations than the lower settings. The removal of the smear layer increased the number of visible dentinal tubule openings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the ultrastructural changes in dentin after treatment with the Nd:YAG laser and/or metal salt solutions and verified the presence of Sn++, Sr++, and F- in dentin structure. STUDY DESIGNS/MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty dentin disks were randomly divided into groups (n = 10): (I) control (no treatment), (II) Nd:YAG (1.5 W, 100 mJ, 15 Hz, 125 J/cm2), (III) 10% SnF2 aqueous solution for 30 minutes, (IV) Nd:YAG+10% SnF2 aqueous solution for 30 minutes, (V) 10% SrCl2 toothpaste for 30 minutes, (VI) Nd:YAG+10% SrCl2 toothpaste for 30 minutes. Then, all samples were prepared for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the samples from Groups I to IV for the energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). RESULTS SEM evaluation revealed occluded dentinal tubules and a dentin surface altered by the laser irradiation. The EDX microanalysis revealed Sn++ at a depth of 250 microm in Group IV and not deeper than 100 microm in Group III. In Group V, Sr++ was not deeper than 50 microm, but it could be detected at a depth of 500 microm in Group VI. F- was found only in Group IV. CONCLUSIONS Ultrastructural changes caused by laser irradiation can increase dentin uptake of Sn++, Sr++, and F-.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the effects of Nd:YAG laser irradiation applied perpendicular or parallel to the root canal dentin wall. METHODS Thirty human teeth were divided into two groups: Group A (20 roots), laser application with circular movements, parallel to the dentin root surface; and Group B (10 roots), roots cut longitudinally and laser applied perpendicular to the root surface. Group A was subdivided into A1 (10 roots), laser application with 100 mJ, 15 Hz and 1.5 W; and A2 (10 roots) with 160 mJ, 15 Hz, and 2.4 W. Group B was subdivided into B1 (10 hemisections) and B2 (10 hemi-sections) with parameters similar to A1 and A2. Four applications of 7-sec duration were performed, with a total exposure of 28 sec. SEM evaluations were made in the cervical, middle, and apical thirds, with 500x and 2000x magnifications. Morphological changes scores were attributed, and the results were submitted to Kruskal Wallis statistical test (5%). RESULTS Significant statistical differences were found between groups Aand B (p = 0.001). In groups A1 and A2, few areas of dentin melting were observed. In groups B1 and B2, areas of melting dentin covering dentin surface were observed. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that intracanal laser application with circular movements (parallel to the surface) produces limited morphological changes in root canal dentin wall.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Nd:YAG laser irradiation on the dentin radiographic image. Previous studies have shown that Nd:YAG laser irradiation is capable of promoting morphological and chemical changes of the dentin surface, indicating the possibility of an alteration of its radiographic image. Dentin of 2-mm-thick mid-coronal sections from 68 extracted posterior teeth was irradiated for 30 s by a Nd:YAG laser (lambda=1,064 nm) on one half of its surface area. The other half was left as a control. The irradiation parameters were: 80 mJ/pulse, 0.8 W, 10 Hz, with a 320-mum flexible quartz optic fiber in contact mode. The 68 samples were radiographed with a 70-kV X-ray setup. The focus-film distance was established as 30 cm and there was no distance between the object and the film. The X-ray exposure time was set as 0.16 s and the radiographic film used was an F-speed dental film. The obtained radiographic images were submitted to a densitometric analysis. The images analyzed showed that there were statistically significant differences between the density of the irradiated dentin images and the non-irradiated dentin images. The image density data showed that the irradiated dentin radiographic images were 6.36% more radiopaque than the non-irradiated dentin images. The Nd:YAG laser irradiation of dentin is able to alter its radiographic image, producing more radiopaque images of the irradiated dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to verify the efficacy of Nd:YAG pulsed laser at 1064 nm in sealing dentinal tubules in vitro, with its resulting morphological changes using clinical parameters applicable to the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. BACKGROUND DATA Although many papers have been written on the subject, no rapid, efficient, and long-lasting treatment for this problem has been developed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty healthy extracted human teeth were kept in saline solution. Cervical cement was removed with a no. 57FG bur to expose approximately 4 mm(2) of dentin. Two groups were in the buccal aspect (A and B-irradiated) and one group in the lingual aspect (C-control not irradiated) of the same tooth. Samples with a remaining dentinal thickness between 1 and 1.5 mm were selected. Irradiation parameters were 30 mJ, 0.3W(Group A) and 40 mJ, 0.4 W(Group B); 7 Hz was used in both groups in two 43-sec applications each, with a 10-sec interval. In 10 samples, the dentinal surface underwent SEM examination for study. The other 10 remaining irradiated samples were centrally cleaved to study laser penetration depth in dentin (SEM). RESULTS Obliteration of dentinal tubule openings and solidification of the dentin surface were observed in all irradiated samples. Laser penetration depth in dentin (SEM) varied from 1 to 7 microm, depending on irradiation parameters used in each group. CONCLUSION We concluded that the use of the Nd:YAG laser was a very effective measure for obliterating dentinal tubule openings.

Abstract
Our previous in vitro study indicated that Nd:YAG laser irradiation on dentin could melt normal dentin surface and close the exposed dentinal tubule orifices without creating surface cracks. This study evaluated the morphologic changes of hypersensitive dentin after Nd:YAG laser irradiation. Thirty patients with clinically diagnosed cervical dentin hypersensitive teeth were treated with a Nd:YAG laser of 30 mJ intensity at 10 pulses per second for 2 min. An impression of the sensitive area was taken before and after laser treatment and then examined with a scanning electron microscope. The impression of the dentin surface after Nd:YAG laser treatment showed no protrusive rods, in contrast with the presence of numerous rods before laser irradiation. Because protrusive rods are a measure of open dentinal tubules, we interpret these data to support the hypothesis that Nd:YAG laser irradiation at specifications of 30 mJ, 10 pulses per second, and 2 min can be used to seal the exposed dentinal tubules.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo the use of low-level galium-aluminium-arsenide (GaAlAs) (BDP 600) laser and sodium fluoride varnish (Duraphat) in the treatment of cervical dentine hypersensitivity. Twelve patients, with at least two sensitive teeth were selected. A total of 60 teeth were included in the trial. Prior to desensitizing treatment, dentine hypersensitivity was assessed by a thermal stimulus and patients' response to the examination was considered to be a control. The GaAlAs laser (15 mW, 4 J/cm2) was irradiated on contact mode and fluoride varnish was applied at cervical region. The efficiency of the treatments was assessed at three examination periods: immediately after first application, 15 and 30 days after the first application. The degree of sensitivity was determined following predefined criteria. Data were submitted to analysis and no statistically significant difference was observed between fluoride varnish and laser. Considering the treatments separately, there was no significant difference for the fluoride varnish at the three examination periods, and for laser therapy, significant difference (P < 0.05) was found solely between the values obtained before the treatment and 30 days after the first application. It may be concluded that both treatments may be effective in decreasing cervical dentinal hypersensitivity. Moreover, the low-level GaAlAs laser showed improved results for treating teeth with higher degree of sensitivity.

Abstract
Laser technology has been studied as a potential replacement to the conventional dental drill. However, to prevent pulpal cell damage, information related to the safety parameters using high-power lasers in oral mineralized tissues is needed. In this study, the heat distribution profiles at the surface and subsurface regions of human dentine samples irradiated with a Nd:YAG laser were simulated using Crank-Nicolson's finite difference method for different laser energies and pulse durations. Heat distribution throughout the dentin layer, from the external dentin surface to the pulp chamber wall, were calculated in each case, to investigate the details of pulsed laser-hard dental tissue interactions. The results showed that the final temperature at the pulp chamber wall and at the dentin surface are strongly dependent on the pulse duration, exposure time, and the energy contained in each pulse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The use of Nd:YAG laser has been proposed for endodontic treatment. However, its ability to reduce dentin permeability, which is important for the success of root canal treatment, remains controversial. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Nd:YAG laser irradiation was performed in pulsed mode on human dentin. The parameters were: pulse energy (100 mJ), rate (10 pps), and total irradiation time (4 seconds). The crystalline phases, electron diffraction patterns, morphology, and microstructure of specimens after laser irradiation were observed by dark-field emission transmission electron microscope (TEM). RESULTS Three ultrastructural zones could be delineated in the dentin: (1) an outer zone with an ordered columnar structure composed of hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate, (2) an intermediate zone composed of an amorphous substance (about 40-70 nm in diameter), and (3) an inner zone of well-crystallized hydroxyapatite grains. These three zones were free of pores or voids. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that laser-irradiation might be used to reduce dentin permeability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND, AIMS Promising results using Nd:YAG laser against dentin hypersensitivity have been reported. The aim of this double-blind, controlled, split-mouth designed clinical trial was to assess the effect of a single Nd:YAG laser application on alleviating hypersensitivity. METHODS/RESULTS Seventeen subjects participated in the study. Each of them had two teeth treated; one with the laser activated and one with nonactivated (placebo), for 2 min The assessment of pain was performed by a VAS, after an air blast at baseline immediately after treatment, at 1 week, 4 weeks and 16 weeks. Mean values of VAS for test and control teeth were compared by paired t-test (alpha = 0.05). The results showed mean baseline VAS values of 6.59 (+/- 1.65) and 6.14(+/- 1.95) for test and control teeth, respectively. Immediately after treatment, these values decreased to 4.09(+/- 2.28) and 3.89(+/- 2.11), respectively. After 1 week, 4 weeks and 16 weeks the mean values for test and control teeth were 3.85 +/- 2.36, 4.03 +/- 1.95, 3.60 +/- 2.66, and 4.44 +/- 2.56, 3.41 +/- 2.30, 3.42 +/- 2.30, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between test and control at any time. However, both groups improved significantly (P < 0.05) from baseline to immediately after application, and at 1 week, 4 weeks and 16 weeks, respectively. The changes that occurred between immediately after application and 1 week, 4 weeks and 16 weeks, respectively, were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION It is concluded that the effect of treatment of hypersensitive teeth with Nd:YAG laser is not different from placebo. The observed effects seem to last for at least 16 weeks.
