Background: It remains uncertain as to whether or not CO 2 laser is able to hinder demineralization of enamel. The possibility to use bovine instead of human teeth on anticariogenic studies with laser has not yet been determined. Purpose: To compare the ability of CO 2 laser and fluoride to inhibit

## Abstract ## Background: Depending on the distance of laser tip to dental surface a specific morphological pattern should be expected. However, there have been limited reports that correlate the Er:YAG irradiation distance with dental morphology. ## Purpose: To assess the influence of Er:YAG l
