## Abstract ## Background and Objective The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of subβablative Er:YAG (Ξ»β=β2.94 ΞΌm) and Er:YSGG (Ξ»β=β2.79 ΞΌm) laser radiation on the acid solubility of dental enamel. The influence of fluoride application prior to laser irradiation was addi
__Objective:__ The purpose of this study is to make use of scanning electron microscopy in order to comparatively analyze the morphological alterations to human and bovine enamel and dentin. __Earlier data:__ Many a morphological study involving Er:YAG laser can be found in the literature. Still, no
