Abstract

Background and Objectives

The use of erbium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser has been suggested for bone ablation, however, little is known about the nature of the tissue after irradiation. This study was aimed to analyze the ultrastructure of bone tissue treated with Er:YAG laser, as compared to those treated with CO~2~ laser and bur drilling.

Study Design/Materials and Methods

Parietal bones of Wistar rats were treated and analyzed by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction analysis and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX).

Results

This study demonstrated that Er:YAG laser irradiation resulted in a very thin changed layer of ∼30 μm thickness, which consisted of two distinct sub‐layers: a superficial, greatly altered layer and a deep, less affected layer.

Conclusions

The major changes found on bone surface after Er:YAG laser irradiation consisted of micro‐cracking, disorganization, and slight recrystallization of the original apatites and reduction of surrounding organic matrix. Lasers Surg. Med. 31:322–332, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
