## Abstract ## Background and Objective High intensity infrared light from the pulsed Nd:YAG dental laser is absorbed by carious enamel and not absorbed by healthy enamel. Consequently, this system has potential for selective removal of surface enamel caries. Safety and efficacy of the clinical pr
Application and development of new methods in caries prevention is of paramount importance to reduce the incidence of chronic cases of the caries disease and to preserve dental structure. In this work, we tested nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser on enamel surface examining the changes laser-induced by
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Conventional methods of residual composite removal after the debonding of orthodontic brackets involve the use of abrasives that damage the underlying enamel. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that 355‐nm laser pulses with a pulse width of 10 ns
