Abstract

Background and objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between a composite resin and dental hard tissues, which have been previously irradiated with and Er:YAG (2.94 μm) or CO₂ (9.6 μm) laser. Materials and methods: A total of 156 bovine teeth were divided into 6 groups: Group 1 - Enamel control: acid etched enamel (Single Bond): Group 2 - Dentin control: acid etched dentin (Single Bond): Group 3 - Irradiated enamel (CO₂ laser - 3 W) followed by acid etching; Group 4 - Irradiated dentin (CO₂ laser - 3 W) followed by acid etching; Group 5 - Irradiated enamel (Er:YAG laser - 0.16 W) followed by acid etching; Group 6 - Irradiated dentin (Er:YAG laser - 0.16 W) followed by acid etching. Results: Treatment only with acid etching and also the Er:YAG laser irradiation followed by acid etching showed the highest bond strength value while the CO₂ laser irradiation followed by acid etching treatment produces the lowest bond strength values in both tissues. Conclusion: Acid etching of non-irradiated and Erbium YAG laser irradiated tissues produces better adhesion than acid etching of CO₂ laser irradiated surfaces. A figure is presented. Dentin surface after CO₂ laser irradiation (150 ml. 20 Hz. 212.2 J/cm², 3 W) followed by acid etching, the smooth melting pattern is removed and the dentin tubules are exposed with a similar aspect as the acid etching only.
