Abstract
This study aimed to compare marginal adaptation in enamel and dentin before and after aging of laser vs. bur-prepared mixed class V cavities restored by different restorative systems. Seventy two caries-free human molars were distributed to nine experimental groups; cavities were prepared using two different lasers: a handpiece -integrated 2.94 μm Er:YAG laser at 4.5 W, 300 mJ, and 0.75 W, 50 mJ with 15 Hz (LiteTouch, Light Instruments, Israel) and a novel CO2 laser at 12.95 W, 19.3 mJ, and 4.1 W, 6.11 mJ with 671 Hz (Solea 9.3 μm, Convergent Dental, USA). Cavities prepared with conventional diamond burs (Intensiv, Switzerland) in a red contra angle at high speed under maximal water cooling served as control. Cavities were prepared under simulation of dentinal fluid and restored using three different self-etching universal adhesives in combination with three nanohybrid composites, applied in two layers: Scotchbond Universal with Filtek Supreme XTE (3M, USA), G-Premio BOND with Essentia Universal (GC, Japan), and OptiBond Universal with Harmonize Universal (Kerr, USA). After restorations' polishing and simultaneous thermal (5–50°C, 2 min each) and mechanical loading (max. 49 N; 200,000 cycles), replicas of restoration margins were examined under SEM at × 200 magnification. Percentages of continuous margins (CMs) were quantified before and after the fatigue test and statistically compared (two-way ANOVA with Fisher's least significant difference [LSD] post hoc test). Significant differences were found in almost all groups between the results before and after the fatigue test, as well as between the different preparation tools and restorative materials (p < 0.05). Traditional bur preparations are confirmed as gold standard in enamel and dentin, as all three tested restorative systems provide results of marginal adaptation of more than 80% CM after loading. Er:YAG laser preparations can be equally effective in combination with SBU/Filtek Supreme XTE. CO2 laser ablation could not provide convincing results with the tested self-etching restorative systems. Marginal adaptation has been highly dependent on the substrate and showed impaired adhesion, especially in enamel. Scotchbond Universal/Filtek Supreme XTE showed the highest and most stable values of CM. The other two restorative systems were highly dependent on the preparation device of the substrate.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the main applications of laser in dentistry is the removal of dental caries and preparation of restorative cavities. The morphology and wettability of laser prepared surfaces are different from that of those prepared with conventional method which may affect the quality of the adhesive potential of bonding agents in these surfaces. This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength of a total-etch and self-etch adhesive system to primary tooth dentin prepared by two different energy densities of Er:YAG laser in comparison with surfaces prepared by bur. Methods: A total of 60 human primary second molars extracted for orthodontic purposes were selected and randomly divided into 3 main groups of equal (n=20). Group A: Preparation of dentin surface by bur; group B: Preparation of dentin surface by laser with 300 mJ energy level; group C: Preparation of dentin surface by laser with 400 mJ energy level. In each of the main groups, the teeth were randomly assigned to 2 subgroups. Composite resin material was bonded with the total-etch adhesive system in subgroups A1, B1, and C1 and with the self-etch adhesive system in subgroups A2, B2, and C2. The samples were thermo-cycled, and composite restorations shear bond strength was measured in MPa. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The highest and the lowest shear bond strength values were observed in group A2 (Preparation by bur- Composite resin material bonded by Clearfil SE Bond) and group C2 (Preparation by laser with 400 mJ energy level - Composite resin material bonded by Clearfil SE Bond), respectively. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the study subgroups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that in terms of shear bond strength to dentin, Single Bond and Clearfil SE Bond adhesive agents adequately perform in primary tooth dentin prepared by Er: YAG laser with energy levels of 300 and 400 mJ and frequency of 10 Hz.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate how two cavity-filling techniques affect microleakage in class II resin restorations prepared with Er:YAG laser and diamond bur. Standard MO and DO cavities were prepared in 20 extracted third molars, each randomly assigned to either Group-1 [Herculite XRV Ultra-bur-prepared cavity(bp)], Group-2 [Herculite XRV Ultra-laser-prepared cavity(lp)], Group-3 (SonicFill-(bp)], or Group-4 [SonicFill-(lp)]. For Groups 2 and 4, cavities were prepared by using an Er:YAG laser with a wavelength of 2.94 μm, output power of 200 mJ/pulse, and repetition rate of 20Hz. Teeth were restored with a one-step, self-etch adhesive material (OptiBond All-in-One), a nanohybrid composite (Herculite XRV Ultra), and a bulk-fill composite (SonicFill) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Five teeth from each group were chosen for microleakage investigation and two teeth for scanning electron microscope evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed by using Kruskal-Wallis test. Pair-wise comparisons were performed by Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction (p < 0.05). The statistical analysis of data revealed greater microleakage in cervical versus occlusal regions in all groups (P < 0.05). Group-2 yielded a higher degree of marginal leakage than Group-3 in terms of occlusal surfaces (p < 0.05). For cervical regions, a statistically significant difference was observed between Groups 2 and 3 as well as Groups 2 and 4 (p < 0.05). Group-3 exhibited significantly better marginal sealing than Group-1 in the cervical region (p < 0.05). The cavities prepared using an Er:YAG laser showed greater microleakage than those conventionally prepared using burs regardless of restorative material at both occlusal and cervical margins.

A Comparative Study of Microleakage on Dental Surfaces Bonded with Three Self-Etch Adhesive Systems Treated with the Er:YAG Laser and Bur. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:2509757. [PMID: 27419128 PMCID: PMC4933862 DOI: 10.1155/2016/2509757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2015] [Revised: 01/27/2016] [Accepted: 02/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Aim. This study sought to compare the microleakage of three adhesive systems in the context of Erbium-YAG laser and diamond bur cavity procedures. Cavities were restored with composite resin. Materials and Methods. Standardized Class V cavities were performed in 72 extracted human teeth by means of diamond burs or Er-YAG laser. The samples were randomly divided into six groups of 12, testing three adhesive systems (Clearfil s3 Bond Plus, Xeno® Select, and Futurabond U) for each method used. Cavities were restored with composite resin before thermocycling (methylene blue 2%, 24 h). The slices were prepared using a microtome. Optical microscope photography was employed to measure the penetration. Results. No statistically significant differences in microleakage were found in the use of bur or laser, nor between adhesive systems. Only statistically significant values were observed comparing enamel with cervical walls (p < 0.001). Conclusion. It can be concluded that the Er:YAG laser is as efficient as diamond bur concerning microleakage values in adhesive restoration procedures, thus constituting an alternative tool for tooth preparation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In vitro studies evaluated cementum surface morphology and microleakage of three different energy density parameters of Erbium: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) laser compared with diamond bur preparation on class V cavities with self-etch adhesive system and composite resin restoration. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standard class V cavities were prepared at cervical area below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in 80 extracted premolars, by using a diamond bur on the buccal surface. All teeth were randomly allocated into four groups: Group 1, diamond bur; Group 2, Er:YAG 50 mJ/15 Hz, 3.77 J/cm(2); Group 3, Er:YAG 75 mJ/15 Hz, 5.65 J/cm(2); and Group 4, Er:YAG 100 mJ/15 Hz, 7.53 J/cm(2). Five cavities from each group were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The 15 remaining cavities from each group were restored with self-etch adhesive and nano-hybrid composite. After thermocycling, all sample teeth were immersed in 0.2% methylene blue dye and sectioned buccolingually. Statistics were analyzed using the one way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests with Bonferroni correction. RESULTS The morphology showed micro-irregularities in the cementum surface of the laser group with the absence of a smear layer. The microstructure characteristics were increased surface roughness followed by increasing laser energy transmission. The Er:YAG laser groups were statistically significant, with less microleakage than the diamond bur group (p<0.05). There was statistically significant difference between the occlusal and gingival microleakage in all the groups (p<0.05). When the laser groups were compared, the lowest microleakage was achieved with energy density at 3.77 J/cm(2) on the occlusal and gingival cementum margin, which showed less microleakage than at energy densities of 5.65 and 7.53 J/cm(2) with Er:YAG laser. CONCLUSIONS These observations indicate that the micro-irregularities of the cementum surface could facilitate the formation of a hybridization zone with a self-etch adhesive system. Therefore, the microleakage of Er:YAG laser irradiation was significantly decreased compared with diamond bur cavities.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the microleakage and bond strength of Class V silorane-based and universal micro-hybrid composite restorations prepared either with diamond bur or with an erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) laser. Materials and Methods: A total of 160 molar teeth were used for microleakage assessment and shear bond strength (SBS) test. The specimens were prepared using either diamond bur or 3 W-, 4 W- and 5 W-20 Hz Er, Cr:YSGG laser irradiation. All specimens were subjected to thermocycling (500 times at 5 ± 2°C to 55 ± 2°C, dwell time 15 s and transfer time 10 s). Microleakage was assessed using a 0.5% basic-fuchsin solution. The bond strengths were determined using a microtensile tester at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The Kruskal Wallis test was used for the analysis of microleakage and a one-way analysis of variance test was used to analyze the SBS (P < 0.05). Results: No statistically significant differences were found (P > 0.05) between Er, Cr:YSGG laser and bur preparation methods regarding microleakage and bond strength values. Conclusion: Irradiation with Er, Cr:YSGG laser was confirmed to be as effective as conventional methods for preparing cavities before adhesive restorations.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Ideally projected to be applied on soft tissues, infrared lasers were improved by restorative dentistry to be used in hard dental tissues cavity preparations--namely enamel and dentin. This paper evidentiates the relevant aspects of infrared Erbium laser's action mechanism and its effects, and characterizes the different effects deriving from the laser's beams emission. The criteria for use and selection of optimal parameters for the correct application of laser systems and influence of supporting factors on the process, such as water amount and its presence in the ablation process, protection exerted by the plasma shielding and structural factors, which are indispensable in dental tissues cavity preparation related to restorative technique, are subordinated to optical modifications caused by the interaction of the energy dissipated by these laser light emission systems in the targeted tissue substrate. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Differences in the action of infrared Erbium laser system in regard to the nature of the ablation process and variations on the morphological aspects observed in the superficial structure of the target tissue irradiated, may be correlated to the structural optical modifications of the substrate produced by an interaction of the energy propagated by laser systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse microleakage in Class V cavity preparation with Er;Cr:YSGG at different parameters using a self-etching adhesive system. BACKGROUND Several studies reported microleakage around composite restorations when cavity preparation is done or treated by Er;Cr:YSGG laser. We want to compare different energy densities in order to obtain the best parameters, when using a self-etching adhesive system. METHODS A class V preparations was performed in 120 samples of human teeth were divided in 3 groups: (1) Preparation using the burr. (2) Er;Cr:YSGG laser preparation with high energy 4W, 30 Hz, 50% Water 50% Air and (3) Er;Cr:YSGG laser preparation lower energy 1.5 W, 30 Hz, 30% Water 30% Air. All the samples were restored with self-etching adhesive system and hybrid composite. Thermocycling (5000 cycles) and immersed in 0.5% fuchsin. The restorations were sectioned and evaluated the microleakage with a stereomicroscope. RESULTS Lower energy laser used for preparation showed significant differences in enamel and dentin. To group 3, the microleakage in the enamel was less, whilst the group 1, treated with the turbine, showed less microleakage at dentin level. Group 2 showed the highest microleakage at dentin/cement level. CONCLUSION Burr preparation gives the lowest microleakage at cement/dentin level, whilst Er;Cr:YSGG laser at lower power has the low energy obtains lowest microleakage at enamel. On the contrary high-energy settings produce inferior results in terms of microleakage.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation and conventional dental bur cavity preparation on in vitro microleakage of class V cavities restored with different adhesive restorative materials and two types of self-etching adhesives in primary teeth. Standard class V cavities were prepared on 80 extracted primary, and the teeth were randomly divided into eight subgroups prepared either by dental bur or Er:YAG laser irradiation and then restored with self-cured glass ionomer (GI), resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), resin composite and Clearfil SE Bond (two-step self-etching adhesive), and resin composite and Clearfil S3 Bond (one-step self-etching adhesive). Restorations were finished and stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h and then subjected to thermocycling. All the teeth were sealed with nail varnish, placed in a silver nitrate solution, and then vertically cut in a buccolingually direction. Subsequently, the specimens were evaluated for gingival and occlusal microleakage using a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney test. Wilcoxon test was used for comparing occlusal microleakage with gingival microleakage at p < 0.05. A higher degree of occlusal and gingival microleakage values for the teeth restored with GI or RMGI was obtained by both preparation methods compared with that of resin composites and the two self-etching primers. Er:YAG laser irradiation resulted in a significantly higher degree of microleakage only at the gingival margins for teeth restored with GI or RMGI, or composite and Clearfil S3 Bond compared with the bur preparation. The Er:YAG laser-prepared teeth restored with composite and Clearfil SE Bond demonstrated a better marginal seal on occlusal and gingival margins compared with that of bur-prepared cavities. The degree of microleakage in class V cavities was affected by the type of adhesive restorative materials, type of self-etching adhesive, cavity margin location, and tooth preparation method either by Er:YAG laser or dental bur.

Abstract
One of the most challenging issues following restoration is microleakage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Er,Cr:YSGG laser with and without acid etching on microleakage of class V composite restorations. A total of 68 human intact premolars were selected, disinfected, and randomly allocated to four experimental groups (n = 16) as well as positive and negative controls (n = 2 each). Dimensionally, similar class V cavities were prepared on buccal surface of each tooth under the following conditions: group 1, bur cavity preparation and chemical etching (BE); group 2, bur cavity preparation and Er,Cr:YSGG laser conditioning (BLc); group 3, Er,Cr:YSGG laser cavity preparation and chemical etching (LE); and group 4, Er,Cr:YSGG laser cavity preparation and Er,Cr:YSGG laser conditioning (LLc). All samples were restored with composite. The teeth were sealed and immersed in 1 % methylene blue for 48 h before being sectioned. The microleakage evaluation was done under a stereomicroscope (×20). The leakage scores were recorded and Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used for statistical evaluations. The highest microleakage score was seen in gingival margins of group 4 (LLc) and the lowest in occlusal margins of group 3 (LE). The overall difference in leakage scores among the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001) with gingival margins showing a significantly higher score than its occlusal counterparts (p < 0.001). It was noted that less microleakage could be achieved when cavities were prepared by laser compared to bur. In addition, less microleakage was seen in acid-etched cavities than laser-conditioned counterparts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the microleakage of direct composite veneer restorations prepared by a conventional dental bur or Er,Cr:YSGG (erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet) laser and etched with different procedures. METHODS Fifty maxillary incisor teeth prepared for direct veneers with gingival margins in dentin and incisal margins in enamel were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10): group 1 (control), prepared with diamond bur and etched with phosphoric acid; group 2, prepared with diamond bur and etched with Er,Cr:YSGG laser (Waterlase MD/Biolase); group 3, prepared with laser and not etched; group 4, prepared with laser and etched with phosphoric acid; and group 5, prepared and etched with laser. After the application of the etch and rinse adhesive system (Prime & Bond NT/Dentsply), teeth were restored with the nano ceramic restorative material (Ceram X Duo/Dentsply), subjected to thermocycling and immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsin dye for 24 h. The teeth were sectioned longitudinally and dye penetration was evaluated by a binocular stereomicroscope equipped with a measuring device. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon signed ranks tests. The level of significance was set at p = 0.05. RESULTS Significant differences were observed in enamel of the five groups (p < 0.05). Minimal microleakage was observed in groups 1 and 3. The highest microleakage was evaluated in group 5 (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found among the five groups in dentin (p > 0.05). No differences were recorded between the microleakage values in enamel and dentin within each group and this was valid for all groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results confirmed that enamel and dentin surfaces prepared with Er,Cr:YSGG laser for direct composite veneer restorations may provide comparable sealing.

BACKGROUND DATA Information on this topic with regard to preparing class V cavities with different parameters of Er:YAG laser irradiation and adhesive systems is scarce. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred class V cavities were assigned to ten groups (n = 20 each): group 1: Er:YAG laser (5 Hz, 600 mJ) + phosphoric acid (PA) + Adper Single Bond 2 (ASB2); group 2: Er:YAG laser (10 Hz, 300 mJ) + PA + ASB2; group 3: Er:YAG laser (15 Hz, 200 mJ) + PA + ASB2; group 4: Er:YAG laser (20 Hz, 150 mJ) + PA + ASB2; group 5: diamond instrument + PA + ASB2; group 6: Er:YAG laser (5 Hz, 600 mJ) + Adper Prompt L-Pop (APLP); group 7: Er:YAG laser (10 Hz, 300 mJ) + APLP; group 8: Er:YAG laser (15 Hz, 200 mJ) + APLP; group 9: Er:YAG laser (20 Hz, 150 mJ) + APLP; and group 10: diamond instrument + APLP. Cavities were restored with a nanofill composite (Filtek Supreme XT Body). After thermocycling, the specimens were stained with 0.5% aqueous basic fuchsin dye and sectioned bucco-lingually. Dye penetration was then scored. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests with Bonferroni correction. The Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used to compare occlusal and gingival scores. RESULTS Leakage was seen in all groups at both the occlusal and gingival margins. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed statistically significant differences among the 10 groups (p < 0.001). The gingival margins had more microleakage than the occlusal margins (p < 0.001). Pairwise analysis by the Mann-Whitney U test showed that statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in microleakage were found between groups 3 and 5 (3 > 5), 5 and 7 (7 > 5), and 7 and 8 (7 > 8) at the gingival margin, and between groups 3 and 6 (6 > 3), 3 and 7 (7 > 3), 4 and 6 (6 > 4), and 4 and 7 (7 > 4) at the occlusal margin. CONCLUSION We concluded that for all groups, microleakage values were higher at the gingival margins. The use of the Er:YAG laser for cavity preparation with different parameters and different dentine adhesive systems influenced the marginal sealing of composite resin restorations.

Abstract
This study compared the thickness of the hybrid layer formed using Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus, Single Bond 2, Prime & Bond 2.1 and Xeno III on a dentin surface prepared with a diamond bur in a high speed handpiece or prepared with an Er:YAG laser used with two parameters of pulse energy (200 and 400 mJ) and two parameters of frequency (4 and 6 Hz). Flat dentin surfaces obtained from 20 human third molars were treated with the two methods and were then prepared with the dentin adhesive systems according to the manufacturers' instructions. After a layer of composite was applied, the specimens were sectioned, flattened, polished and prepared for Scanning Electronic Microscopy observation. Five different measurements of the hybrid layer thickness were obtained along the bonded surface in each specimen. The results were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Student-Newman-Keuls tests (p < or = 0.05). When analyzing the hybrid layer thickness and comparing the cavity preparation method, four groups were formed: Group I (diamond bur) > Group II (Laser 200 mJ/4 Hz) = Group III (Laser 200 mJ/6 Hz) > Group IV (Laser 400 mJ/4 Hz) > Group V (Laser 400 mJ/6 Hz). When comparing the dentin adhesive systems, there were no statistically significant differences. These results showed that the four tested dentin adhesive systems produced a 2.90 +/- 1.71 microm hybrid layer in dentin prepared with a diamond bur. This hybrid layer was regular and routinely found. In the laser groups, the dentin adhesive systems produced hybrid layers ranging from 0.41 +/- 1.00 microm to 2.06 +/- 2.49 microm, which were very irregular and not routinely found. It was also concluded that the Er:YAG laser, with the parameters used in this experiment, has a negative influence on the formation of a hybrid layer and cavity preparation methods influence formation of the hybrid layer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of using plasma arc curing lights with their shorter curing times in the management of children are potentially great, provided there are no adverse effects. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether the microleakage of a resin-based sealant is influenced by polymerization with either a conventional quartz tungsten halogen or a plasma arc curing light. DESIGN This study took the form of an in vitro randomized control trial. Seventy extracted human first and second permanent premolars and molars were randomly allocated into two groups. Their occlusal surfaces were sealed with a light-cured fissure sealant using either a quartz tungsten halogen curing light or a plasma arc curing light. The teeth were then sectioned, resulting in four surfaces per tooth, which were examined for microleakage under x 15 magnification with a light microscope. The principal unit of analysis was the tooth (worst section score) and not the section microleakage score. RESULTS No statistical significant difference in microleakage scoring between the two groups was demonstrated. CONCLUSION This study found no difference in the degree of microleakage of fissure sealants polymerized by either light source.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effects of Er:YAG laser pretreatment procedures in fissure sealing. The fissures of 90 third molars were prepared in the mesial halves with Er:YAG laser (lambda = 2,940 nm, 250 mJ/pulse, 4 Hz, fluence 32 J/cm(2)) and acid etched. They were randomly assigned to three groups, and the fissures in the distal halves were prepared differently according to the group: acid etching alone, bur and etching or Er:YAG laser alone. The fissures were sealed using Clinpro sealant (3M). The extent of microleakage was measured with a digital-image analyzer. The sealants prepared with Er:YAG laser alone displayed greater microleakage than the others (p < 0.05). Er:YAG laser irradiation does not eliminate the need for etching the enamel surface before sealing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess microleakage on class V cavities prepared by Er:YAG laser with varying surface treatment. BACKGROUND DATA There has been little reported research on microleakage at cavities prepared and treated with Er:YAG laser. METHODS Fifty preparations using Er:YAG laser or a highspeed handpiece were developed. The surface treatment was performed as follows: Er:YAG laser (group 1); 35% phosphoric acid (group 2); laser + acid (group 3); finishing with low-speed + laser + acid (group 4); conventional preparation developed with a high-speed handpiece + acid (group 5--control). The samples were restored with Single Bond/Z250, thermocycled, isolated, and immersed in a 50% AgNO(3) solution. The restorations were sectioned, and the microleakage was measured in milimeters using a specific computer software. Data were analyzed employing ANOVAand Tukey test. RESULTS Statistical analysis showed that group 5 (G5) obtained the lowest results of microleakage (22.05%), and it was statistically similar (p > 0.05) to G1 (37.7%) and different (p < 0.05) from the other groups (G2 = 50.4%; G3 = 43%; G4 = 44.2%). The occlusal margins (22.62%) demonstrated less microleakage (p < 0.05) than the cervical margins (56.32%). CONCLUSION The use of Er:YAG laser for cavity preparation and surface treatment negatively influenced the marginal sealing of composite resin restorations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the extent of microleakage in cavities prepared with bur and Er:YAG laser, hybridized with different bonding systems. STUDY DESIGN Sixty bovine teeth were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10): (G1) Diamond bur + Single Bond; (G2) Diamond bur + AdheSE; (G3) Diamond bur + Clearfil SE Bond; (G4) Er:YAG (250 mJ, 4 Hz, 80.6 J/cm(2)) + Single Bond; (G5)Er:YAG + AdheSE, and (G6) Er:YAG + Clearfil. Cavities were restored with a micro-hybrid composite resin. After thermocycling, the specimens were stained with 2% methylene blue solution and sectioned in the mesiodistal direction. Dye penetration was scored based upon the extent of the dye using a light stereoscope. RESULTS The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test revealed no statistically significant differences between the method of preparation (diamond bur and laser). However, statistical differences were found between the adhesives tested. CONCLUSION Based on the results of this study, Er:YAG laser confirmed to be as effective as the conventional methods for preparing adhesive restorations.

Abstract
Erbium hard tissue lasers have the capability to prepare enamel, dentin, caries, cementum, and bone in addition to cutting soft tissue. The ability of hard tissue lasers to reduce or eliminate vibrations, the audible whine of drills, microfractures, and some of the discomfort that many patients fear and commonly associate with high-speed handpieces is impressive. In addition, these lasers can be used with a reduced amount of local anesthetic for many procedures. Today, these instruments have evolved from their initial use for all classes of cavity preparations to their ability for removing soft tissue, their usefulness in the disinfection of bacteria within endodontic canals, and most recently, as an alternative to the high speed handpiece for the removal of bone in oral and maxillofacial surgery. In addition, recent research has centered on the value of the erbium family of laser wavelengths in periodontics, including the removal of calculus.

Abstract
We compared Erbium (Er):YAG laser with a surgical bur for removal of partially erupted lower third molars. Patients were randomised to be treated by either laser or bur. A total of 42 patients (laser = 22; bur = 20) were treated. A greater reduction in the range of mouth opening was found after laser than after bur treatment. Postoperative pain was more common after bur treatment. The duration of operation was considerably longer with laser than with bur. No persistent complications were encountered.

Abstract
This study assessed in vitro marginal leakage of class V cavities prepared by turbine and Er:YAG laser and restored with different materials. Sixty cavities with enamel and dentine margins were prepared and assigned to six groups: I, II, III by turbine and IV, V, VI by Er:YAG laser. The following restorative systems were used: groups I and IV: Bond 1 + Alert; II and V: Fuji II LC; III and VI: SBMP + Dispersalloy. After finishing, specimens were thermocycled for 8 h and 45 min (500 cycles), isolated, immersed in a 0.2% Rhodamine B solution, sectioned oro-facially and analysed for leakage. The dye penetration means (%) were: occlusal I: 10.09 (+/- 21.28), II: 3.25 (+/- 10.27), III: 0, IV: 41.77 (+/- 42.48), V: 23.37 (+/- 33.79), VI: 12.66 (+/- 24.06); cervical I: 16.49 (+/- 26.67), II: 4.34 (+/- 13.71), III: 0, IV: 37.71 (+/- 30.47), V: 39.56 (+/- 43.35) and VI: 72.53 (+/- 37.79). The use of Er:YAG laser for cavity preparation yielded higher degree of marginal leakage, as compared with the use of conventional air-turbine. The enamel interface provided better marginal sealing, comparing with dentine/cementum margin. As to the cavity preparation device (i.e. laser or bur), the analysis of the results showed that bonded amalgam and Fuji II LC provided less infiltration, than Alert. On the other hand, for lased cavities, Alert provided the best results, similar to those of Fuji II LC and superior to those reached by bonded amalgam.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study had the aim of evaluating the influence of different frequencies of the Er:YAG laser on adhesive resistance of enamel and one restorative system. BACKGROUND DATA There have been no reports of studies assessing the influence of the pulse frequency variation of the Er:YAG laser on adhesive resistance of the enamel/resin interface. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty surfaces of enamel from extracted human third molars were planed and divided into five groups at random. Enamel surface treatment was realized by the Er:YAG laser at 80-mJ power and 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-Hz pulse frequencies, followed by etching. For the control group, only acid conditioning with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 sec was used. The Single Bond/Filtek Z250 system was chosen for the fabrication of the specimens, which were stored in 100% relative humidity for 24 h, at 37 degrees C. The specimens were submitted to tensile resistance tests using a Universal Testing Machine (50 Kgf and 0.5 mm/min). RESULTS The mean values in MPa were 1 Hz, 25.58 (+/-6.16); 2 Hz, 25.58 (+/-3.79); 3 Hz, 21.34 (+/-3.78); 4 Hz, 21.17 (+/-3.13); and phosphoric acid only, 22.44 (+/-7.0). Data were submitted to statistical analysis using ANOVA, and there was no significant difference in tensile resistance between the studied groups. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the Er:YAG laser, with 80-mJ power associated with acid conditioning at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-Hz frequencies, did not present significant improvement in tensile bonding of enamel, as compared to acid conditioning only.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of erbium:yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser on bond strength to dentin of a self-etching primer (Clearfil Liner Bond 2V, CL2V) and two single-bottle agents (Excite, EX; Gluma One Bond, GB). STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty human molars were selected, roots were removed and crowns were bisected, providing 60 halves. Specimens were included and ground to expose dentin. Bonding site was limited and samples were assigned to three groups: I, CL2V; II, EX; III, GB. Dentin was either conventionally treated or submitted to laser conditioning + conventional treatment. The adhesive protocol was performed, samples were stored for 24 hours and bond strength was tested to failure (0.5 mm/min). RESULTS Statistical analysis showed a decrease in bond strength for lased subgroups and this drop was more evident for EX. CL2V provided the best overall results, regardless of the surface treatment. CONCLUSIONS Er:YAG laser may adversely affect bond strength in higher or lesser degree, depending on the adhesive system used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to compare the surfaces of cavities prepared using laser with those prepared conventionally, and to measure the degree of leakage through both enamel and cementum. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prepared 135 class V cavities and divided them randomly into three groups: laser-treated (group A), laser-treated, and acid-etched (group B) and rotary instrumented (group C). RESULTS On analyzing the tooth enamel, the amount of leakage was found to be similar in groups A and B, whilst the samples in the group C were more prone to leakage. On analyzing the cementum, the group C samples appeared to display surfaces that were more conducive to the adhesion of the materials used in obturation (although this difference was not strictly significant), and this might have provoked the relatively low levels of leakage. CONCLUSION The use of acid etching in conjunction with both conventional and laser cavity preparation improves the adhesion of the materials used in obturation to enamel surfaces.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the performance of three bonding agents in preventing microleakage of class V cavities prepared and treated by Er:YAG laser associating with acid etching. BACKGROUND DATA There has been very little research comparing the efficiency of single-component and self-etching adhesive systems in preventing microleakage of cavities prepared and conditioned with Er:YAG laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty cavities - with occlusal margin in enamel and cervical in dentin/cementum - were prepared in sound human third molars using a short pulsed Er:YAG laser (500 mJ/5 Hz) The enamel and dentin surfaces were conditioned for 30 sec using lower dosimetries (120 mJ/4 Hz), and the samples were randomly assigned into three groups, according to the adhesive system: (I) Bond-1; (II) Prime & Bond NT; and (III) Etch & Prime 3.0. Groups I and II were acid-etched for 15 sec, and group III did not receive any acid treatment once a self-etching system was employed. Cavities were restored with a light-cured composite resin (JEK-Z250 Filtek-250), and after finishing, the samples were thermocycled, isolated with epoxy resin and nail varnish, immersed in a 0.2% Rhodamine B solution for 24 h, and sectioned longitudinally. The sections obtained were analyzed for leakage using an optical microscope connected to a computer and a video camera. We digitized the images using a special software program that allowed a quantitative evaluation of microleakage in millimeters. RESULTS Statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test showed statistically significant difference between both margins, and the occlusal region presented better marginal sealing. Comparing the three resin bonding systems, Prime & Bond NT entirely sealed both margins, while Etch & Prime 3.0 provided the poorest overall results, showing a statistically significant difference (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION It may be concluded that, for all the tested materials, microleakage values were higher in cervical (dentin/cementum) margins. Additionally, Prime & Bond NT provided a complete elimination of marginal infiltration at both margins, after treating the dental surface with laser irradiation associated with a sequent acid-etching.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of three Erbium:YAG pulse energies (200 mJ, 240 mJ, and 300 mJ with a 100 mJ dentine finish) on the microleakage of Class V compomer restorations (Compoglass). DESIGN In vitro study. SAMPLE AND METHODS Sixty-one extracted human premolar teeth were randomly allocated to three groups (according to pulse energy). Each tooth hosted one test cavity prepared with one of the three Er:YAG pulse energies using a pulse repetition rate of 5 Hz and a pulse duration of 250 microseconds, and one control cavity prepared with a conventional diamond bur in a high-speed hand piece. Both cavities were placed at the cervical margin of the tooth and were restored and finished according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each tooth was then stored in 0.12% thymol solution at 37 degrees C for three months, before being thermocycled through water baths between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C for 240 cycles. Microleakage was assessed using a methylene blue dye penetration technique and was quantified using a score 0 (none) to 4 (to and into the axial wall). The data was analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests. RESULTS Leakage was seen in all groups at both the dentine and enamel margins. There were no statistically significant differences in leakage (P < 0.05) at either the enamel or dentine margins, except for the 240 mJ lased enamel margins. This group performed significantly better than the enamel margins prepared with 200 mJ (P = 0.03) and the 300/100 mJ (P = 0.01) laser energies as well as the conventionally prepared enamel margins (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Cavity preparation with this Erbium:YAG laser did not influence the microleakage of Compoglass restorations adversely. Different pulse energies were required for optimum cavity sealing at the enamel and dentine margins and for different materials.
