✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Background and Objectives
The investigation of adhesion between an Er:YAG laser‐irradiated surface and composite resin is very important to ensure the best clinical results. The purpose of this investigation is to determine if the application of various treatments on Er:YAG laser‐irradiated dentin surface affects the tensile bond strength between dentin and composite resins.
Study Design/Materials and Methods
In this investigation, the application of phosphoric acid, ultrasonic scaler, air‐scaler, and air‐powder polisher were tested as techniques to increase the bond strength of composite resins to Er:YAG laser‐irradiated dentin surface.
Results
The tensile bond strength of the air‐powder polished group was highest, at 18.45 ± 3.72 MPa, and the lowest value was that of the only laser‐irradiated group, at 12.56 ± 4.38 MPa.
Conclusions
The bond strengths in treated with air‐powder polished group and phosphric acid etched group were significantly higher than that of the group in laser irradiation alone. Lasers Surg. Med. 30:267–272, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
