## 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
A desktop diode pulsed laser having pulse width of 1.3 ps and wavelength of 1552 nm is utilized for precise targeted ablation of dentin, enamel, and composite material while minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue and nerve endings. A thermal imaging camera is used to measure the
