## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Lasers are used for several procedures involving hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. A potential future application is the use of the CO~2~ laser to alter the surface structure of tooth enamel to render it more resistant to caries. A new 9.6 μm wavele
## Background and Objective: The pulsed CO 2 laser has received attention because of its successful application to dermatologic surgery and burn debridement surgery. Despite impressive results, tissue removal using pulsed CO 2 laser irradiation has not been optimized. We examined the ablation proc
Background: The objective was to evaluate the morphology of enamel and dentin irradiated with Er:YAG (2.94 μm) and CO~2~ (9.6 μm) lasers. Methods: Six groups were evaluated: G1 – CO~2~ irradiated enamel (3 W); G2 – CO~2~ irradiated dentin (3 W); G3 – CO~2~ irradiated enamel (7 W); G4 – CO~2~ irradia
