Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effects of Er,Cr:YSGG laser combined with NaF treatment on the acid resistance of human dental hard tissue.Methods:The enamel or dentin samples were randomly divided into four groups and prepared by different methods as follows: ①without treatment(control group),②laser irradiation(Laser group),③ treated with 20 g/L NaF solution(NaF group),④laser irradiation+ NaF solution treatment(Laser and NaF group).The samples of each group were respectively demineralized in 0.1 mol/L of lactic acid for 24 h and the calcium ion in the demineralization solution in each group was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.The fluoride on the surface of the samples was examined by SED-X and the ultrastructure was investigated by SEM.Results:The concentrations of Ca~(2+) dissolved from the enamel or dentin samples in NaF,laser and NaF and laser groups were significantly lower than that in the control group(P(0.05)).Only in the NaF group,the F peak appeared.SEM observation showed the lased surface showed various patterns of microirregulation with a scaly appearance,the openings of dentinal tubules were visible,but no melting or carbonization;there were lot of particles attached to the surface of NaF treated samples;the ultrastructure of the NaF and laser-treated sample surfaces was similar to that of the laser treated.Conclusion:The combined use of laser and NaF dose not have synergetic effects on acid resistance of human dental hard tissue.
