Abstract:
20 children aged 3 years ±3 months with dental caries were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =1 0).The caries tissue was re-moved by conventional bur and Er:YAG laser respectively without the use of mouth speculum,mouth gag and binding belts.In laser group the success rate of treatment at first visit and return visit was higher(P <0.05)and children's dental anxiety grad was lower(P <0.05).The Er:YAG laser is more effective in easing children's dental anxiety and in the dental treatment.
