Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical usefulness of Er:YAG laser for cavity preparation in children.

Background data: The conventional methods for cavity preparation instill fear and discomfort in pediatric patients. The Er:YAG laser is a new tool developed for cavity preparation; however, there are few reports of its clinical application.

Materials and methods: A clinical evaluation using an Er:YAG laser was carried out using 32 subjects (with 16 deciduous and 19 permanent teeth) with ages ranging from 2 to 12 years. All cavities were restored with light-cured composite resin following the application of bonding agent, but without acid etching or primer conditioning.

Results: During laser treatment, the pediatric patients were very cooperative and hardly complained of any pain, and no tooth showed undesirable effects during the 3-year period of observation.

Conclusion: It can be concluded from the results of this study that an Er:YAG laser would be a useful alternative method for cavity preparation for composite resin restoration in children.

Er:YAG激光在儿童空腔制备中的临床应用。

目的:探讨Er:YAG激光在儿童口腔预备术中的临床应用价值。背景资料:传统的空腔准备方法给儿科患者带来恐惧和不适。Er:YAG激光器是一种新型的空腔制备工具;然而，其临床应用的报道很少。材料与方法:采用Er:YAG激光对32例年龄2 ~ 12岁的患者(乳牙16颗，恒牙19颗)进行临床评价。采用光固化复合树脂修复所有空腔，但不进行酸蚀或底漆处理。结果:患儿在激光治疗过程中非常配合，几乎没有疼痛的抱怨，在3年的观察期间没有出现牙齿不良反应。结论:Er:YAG激光是儿童复合树脂修复体的一种有效的空腔制备方法。
