Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of pulsed Nd∶YAG laser combined with NaF solution on acid resistance of human dental enamel and dentin in vitro Methods A total of 20 enamel samples and 20 dentin samples were treated with both laser plus NaF, laser only, NaF only, or no treatment(control) Then all samples were immersed in lactic acid demineralization solution(pH 4 5) for 48 h at 37 ℃ The concentration of Ca 2+ (?10 -6 g) dissolved in the solution was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry Results In both enamel and dentin samples, the lowest mean Ca 2+ concentration was recorded in laser plus NaF treated group (62 055?5 879,137 474?4 444)?10 -6 g The control samples showed the highest mean of Ca 2+ concentration (143 760?5 443 and 182 726?16 115)?10 -6 g The mean Ca 2+ concentration in laser plus NaF - or NaF - or laser treated group decreased significantly as compared with that in the control( P
