Tensile Bond Strength and Adaptability of One-bottle One-step Bonding Systems to Dental Hard Tissues Irradiated by Er:YAG Laser

Abstract

: Various studies have revealed that the Er:YAG laser is effective in endodontic, periodontal and surgical treat-ments, and it is used in actual clinical practice. In particular, the Er:YAG laser shows excellent clinical effects when cutting hard tooth tissue, and there have been many studies on adhesive restoration involving teeth irradiated with Er:YAG laser. In this study, focusing on the one-bottle one-step bonding system, we performed tensile bond and marginal leakage tests to evalu-ate its adhesive properties to enamel and dentin irradiated with Er:YAG laser.
