Int J Mol Sci 2020; 22:ijms22010353. [PMID: 33396354 PMCID: PMC7794949 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22010353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2020] [Revised: 12/26/2020] [Accepted: 12/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Cavity disinfection becomes an important step before a dental restorative procedure. The disinfection can be obtained cleaning the dental cavity with antimicrobial agents before the use of adhesive systems. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review on the effect of different cavity disinfectants on restorations’ adhesion and clinical success. A search was carried out through the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science. In vitro and in situ studies reporting results on dentin bond strength tests, and clinical studies published until August 2020, in English, Spanish and Portuguese were included. The methodological quality assessment of the clinical studies was carried out using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Chlorhexidine could preserve adhesion to dentin. EDTA and ethanol had positive results that should be further confirmed. Given the significant lack of scientific evidence, the use of lasers, fluoridated agents, sodium hypochlorite, or other products as cavity disinfectants should be avoided. Chlorhexidine is a safe option for cavity disinfection with adequate preservation of adhesion to dentin. Moreover, future researches should be focused on the efficacy of these disinfectants against cariogenic bacteria and their best application methods.

Abstract
Introduction: In non-vital tooth bleaching, dentin is in direct contact with the bleaching agent, 1 to 3-week delay is needed to eliminate free radicals from tooth structure. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of irradiation of Er: YAG laser on immediate microtensile bond strength of bleached dentin to composite. Methods: Sixty sounds human teeth were collected and randomly divided into 4 groups (n=15): no bleaching (NB), opalescence endo hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel bleaching, sodium perborate (SP) bleaching and laser bleaching with heydent gel (LB). The groups were divided into 3 subgroups (n=5): no surface treatment, Er: YAG laser irradiation and 10% sodium ascorbate (SA). All samples were restored and underwent microtensile bond strength testing. Statistical analysis was carried out using one-way and two-way ANOVA. Results: Bond strength in NB-SA group had a significant difference with the NB group (P<0.05) while no significant difference was noted between NB and NB-Er groups (P=0.55). Application of SA and Er: YAG laser after bleaching with SP did not enhance the bond strength (P=0.07). Conclusion: Application of SA and Er: YAG laser after HP gel bleaching significantly enhanced the bond strength. Application of Er: YAG laser after internal bleaching with HP gel could enhance the bond strength.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin on superficial and deep dentin after conditioning with phosphoric acid and Erbium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) laser. Methods: Thirty human molars were selected, roots were removed and crowns were bisected to provide a total of 60 half-crowns. Specimens were ground to expose superficial and deep dentin. Samples were assigned to six groups: (1) AS (acid etching of superficial dentin); (2) AD (acid etching of deep dentin); (3) LS (Er:YAG laser irradiation on superficial dentin); (4) LD (Er:YAG laser irradiation on deep dentin); (5) LAS (Er:YAG laser irradiation on superficial dentin followed by acid etching); (6) LAD (Er:YAG laser irradiation on deep dentin followed by acid etching) The adhesive protocol was performed. Samples were thermocycled and micro-shear bond strength was tested to failure. The data were submitted to statistical analysis with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey post hoc test. Results: The AS group, demonstrated the greatest amount of micro-shear bond strength. Statistical analysis showed a decrease in bond strength in laser-treated groups which was more significant for deep dentin. Conclusion: Preparation of dentin with laser did not improve bonding to superficial and deep dentin.

[PMID: 23875083 PMCID: PMC3713863 DOI: 10.5681/joddd.2013.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2012] [Accepted: 02/24/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aims. Er:YAG laser irradiation has been claimed to improve the adhesive properties of dentin; therefore, it has been proposed as an alternative to acid etching. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the shear bond strength of an etch-and-rinse adhesive system to dentin surfaces following Er:YAG laser and/or phosphoric acid etching. Materials and methods. The roots of 75 sound maxillary premolars were sectioned below the CEJ and the crowns were embedded in auto-polymerizing acrylic resin with the buccal surfaces facing up. The buccal surfaces were ground using a diamond bur and polished until the dentin was exposed; the samples were randomly divided into five groups (n=15) according to the surface treatment: (1) acid etching; (2) laser etching; (3) laser etching followed by acid etching; (4) acid etching followed by laser etching and (5) no acid etching and no laser etching (control group). Composite resin rods (Point 4, Kerr Co) were bonded to treated dentin surfaces with an etch-and-rise adhesive system (Optibond FL, Kerr Co) and light-cured.After storage for two weeks at 37°C and 100% humidity and then thermocycling, bond strength was measured with a Zwick Universal Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data was analyzed using parametric and non-parametric tests (P<0.05). Results. Mean shear bond strength for acid etching (20.1±1.8 MPa) and acid+laser (15.6±3.5 MPa) groups were significantly higher than those for laser+acid (15.6±3.5 MPa), laser etching (14.1±3.4 MPa) and control (8.1±2.1 MPa) groups. However, there were no significant differences between acid etching and acid+laser groups, and between laser+acid and laser groups. Conclusion. When the cavity is prepared by bur, it is not necessary to etch the dentin surface by Er:YAG laser following acid etching and acid etching after laser etching.

Lasers Med Sci 2010; 27:15-21. [PMID: 20809080 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-010-0830-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2010] [Accepted: 08/07/2010] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of an etch-and-rinse adhesive to enamel and dentin after treatment with Er:YAG laser using different pulse durations. Extracted human molars were flattened to obtain enamel or dentin surfaces. The enamel specimens (E) were divided into nine groups and the dentin (D) specimens were divided into seven groups according to the surface treatments (n = 6). E-C: acid was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions and used as control, E-SSP: 120 mJ, 10 Hz, SSP (50 μs), E-SSP-A: 120 mJ,10 Hz, SSP+acid, E-VSP: 120 mJ, 10 Hz, VSP (100 μs), E-VSP-A: 120 mJ, 10 Hz, VSP+acid, E-SP: 120 mJ, 10 Hz, SP (150 μs), E-SP-A:120 mJ,10 Hz, SP+acid, E-LP:120 mJ,10 Hz, LP (300 μs), E-LP-A:120 mJ,10 Hz, LP+acid; D-C: acid was applied and used as control, D-SSP: 80 mJ, 10 Hz, SSP, D-SSP-A: 80 mJ, 10 Hz, SSP+acid, D-VSP: 80 mJ, 10 Hz, VSP, D-VSP-A: 80 mJ, 10 Hz, VSP+acid, D-SP: 80 mJ, 10 Hz, SP, D-SP-A: 80 mJ, 10 Hz, SP+acid. After application of etch-and-rinse adhesive, composite built-ups were created with a nanoceramic composite. Specimens were sectioned into serial 1-mm(2) sticks, and μTBS was measured in five sticks from each tooth randomly selected (n = 30). Failure modes were determined under a stereomicroscope. μTBS test data were analyzed by Welch-ANOVA followed by Dunnett's T3 tests and failure mode distributions were analyzed by Pearson Chi-square test (p = 0.05). μTBS was higher for enamel and dentin after additional acid etching than laser irradiation alone. E-SSP-A group exhibited the highest μTBS for enamel (p < 0.05). The D-SP-A group showed the highest value but the difference was not significant in comparison to D-C (p > 0.05). The μTBS of laser-irradiated but not acid-etched groups decreased when longer pulse durations were used. Laser treatment could enhance or impair the μTBS to enamel and dentin depending on the pulse duration used and additional acid application.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess in vitro the influence of Er:YAG laser irradiation distance on the shear strength of the bond between an adhesive restorative system and primary dentin. A total of 60 crowns of primary molars were embedded in acrylic resin and mechanically ground to expose a flat dentin surface and were randomly assigned to six groups (n = 10). The control group was etched with 37% phosphoric acid. The remaining five groups were irradiated (80 mJ, 2 Hz) at different irradiation distances (11, 12, 16, 17 and 20 mm), followed by acid etching. An adhesive agent (Single Bond) was applied to the bonding sites, and resin cylinders (Filtek Z250) were prepared. The shear bond strength tests were performed in a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min). Data were submitted to statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05). The mean shear bond strengths were: 7.32 ± 3.83, 5.07 ± 2.62, 6.49 ± 1.64, 7.71 ± 0.66, 7.33 ± 0.02, and 9.65 ± 2.41 MPa in the control group and the groups irradiated at 11, 12, 16, 17, and 20 mm, respectively. The differences between the bond strengths in groups II and IV and between the bond strengths in groups II and VI were statistically significant (p<0.05). Increasing the laser irradiation distance resulted in increasing shear strength of the bond to primary dentin.

Abstract
Several studies in the literature have previously shown that the bond strength of a composite bonded to dentin is almost equivalent as when dentin is prepared by either bur or Er:YAG laser. The aim of this preliminary study is to assess the hypothesis that dentin conditioning at low fluency by means of Er:YAG laser can improve the value of adhesion of composites resin to dentin. Sixty surfaces of caries-free human third molars extracted for orthodontic purposes were randomly divided into five groups of 12 teeth. The bur group was the control, prepared using bur, group L was prepared using Er:YAG 200 mJ, SSP (50 µs), 20 Hz, 15 seconds of sweeping, for groups L80, L100, L120, they were prepared first, with the same parameters of the group L 200, and then they received a conditioning, which is, respectively, 15 s of irradiations at: 80 mJ (SSP, 10 Hz), 100 mJ (SSP, 10 Hz), and 120 mJ (SSP, 10 Hz). All samples were restored in a single-component adhesive system: Xenon (DENTSPLY), and ceramX (DENTSPLY) as the resin composite. The specimens were submitted to tensile bond strength test using a universal testing machine. Data were submitted to statistical analysis using ANOVA coupled to a Tukey-Kramer test at the 95% level. The mean values in MPa were 33.3 for group B, 36.73 for group L 200, 41.7 for group L80, 37.9 for group L100, and 39.1 for group L120. Our results showed that dentin conditioning at a low fluency of 12.58 J/cm(2) per pulse, with 80 mJ output energy and 50-µs pulse duration can significantly improve tensile bond strength of a composite bonded to Er:YAG laser-prepared dentine.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate shear bond strength (SBS) between a light-curing nano-ionomer restorative and enamel or dentin after acid etching, after erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser etching, or after combined treatment. Forty third molars were selected, the crowns were sectioned, and 80 tooth slabs were obtained. The specimens were assigned to two groups, which were divided into four subgroups(n = 10). Group 1 [enamel (e)], treated with 37% phosphoric acid (A) + Ketac nano-primer (K); group 2 [dentin (d)], (A) + (K); group 3(e), Er:YAG laser etching (L) + (A) + (K); group 4(d), (L) + (A) + (K); group 5(e), (L) + (K); group 6(d), (L) + (K); group 7(e), (K); group 8(d), (K). The SBS of the specimens was measured with a universal test machine (1 mm/min). Data were analyzed by independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a post-hoc Duncan test (p < 0.05). No difference was determined between groups 3 and 5 (p > 0.05). Group 7 exhibited higher SBS values than those of groups 3 and 5 (p < 0.05). Group 1 showed higher SBSs than those of groups 3, 5 and 7 (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between groups 4 and 6 (p > 0.05). No difference was observed between groups 2 and 4 (p > 0.05). However, group 2 presented higher SBSs than did group 6 (p < 0.05). Group 8 exhibited the highest SBS values when compared with groups 2, 4 and 6 (p < 0.05). Er:YAG laser adversely affected the adhesion of the light-curing nano-ionomer restorative to both enamel and dentin.

Abstract
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of etching time on the tensile bond strength (TBS) of a conventional adhesive bonded to dentin previously irradiated with erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) and erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) lasers. Buccal and lingual surfaces of 45 third molars were flattened until the dentin was exposed and randomly assigned to three groups (n = 30) according to the dentin treatment: control (not irradiated), irradiated with Er:YAG (1 W; 250 mJ; 4 Hz; 80.6 J/cm(2)) laser or Er,Cr:YSGG (4 W; 200 mJ; 20 Hz; 71.4 J/cm(2)) laser, and into three subgroups (n = 10) according to acid etching time (15 s, 30 s or 60 s) for each experimental group. After acid etching, the adhesive was applied, followed by the construction of an inverted cone of composite resin. The samples were immersed in distilled water (37 degrees C for 24 h) and subjected to TBS test [50 kilogram-force (kgf), 0.5 mm/min]. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey statistical tests (P < or = 0.05). Control group samples presented significant higher TBS values than those of all lased groups. Both irradiated groups exhibited similar TBS values. Samples subjected to the different etching times in each experimental group presented similar TBS. Based on the conditions of this in vitro study we concluded that Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation of the dentin weakens the bond strength of the adhesive. Moreover, increased etching time is not able to modify the bonding strength of the adhesive to irradiated dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to observe and evaluate the micro-morphology of enamel and dentin surfaces after Er:YAG laser preparation and conditioning. BACKGROUND DATA Information regarding micro-morphologic changes of tooth substance as a result of a change of Er:YAG laser parameters for cavity preparation is limited. METHODS Human enamel and dentin surfaces were irradiated with an Er:YAG laser with the following parameters : (1) energy output: 200 mJ, 250 mJ, 300 mJ, 350 mJ, and 400 mJ; (2) repetition rate: 5 Hz and 10 Hz; (3) pulse duration: 100 mus/VSP (very short pulse); (4) 5 and 10 passes over the surface at a distance of 7 mm, speed: 4 mm/s using a non-contact delivery tip; (5) water cooling: 5 mL/min. The hand piece was fixed in a power driven x-y moving table. Subsequently, half of the samples were laser-conditioned at 100 mJ, 10 Hz, 250 mus/SP (short pulse) for enamel, and 80 mJ, 10 Hz, SP for dentin at a distance of 10 mm. Surface morphology and surface alterations were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION SEM evaluation showed the characteristics of Er:YAG-lased enamel and dentin surfaces: irregular enamel surfaces with typical keyhole shaped prisms and rods, and protrusion of dentinal tubules with a cuff-like appearance. Laser conditioning rounded off the sharp edges on the enamel irregularities and dentin surface structures. First signs of vitrification were seen at 250 mJ for enamel samples and 300 mJ for dentin samples. Increase of the pulse repetition rate from 5 Hz to 10 Hz did not result in changes of surface morphology. Laser conditioning did not result in additional vitrification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the molecular and morphological changes on dentin elements after Er:YAG laser irradiation. BACKGROUND DATA Spectroscopy studies reporting the effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation as an alternative to acid etching are needed to better understand the laser's effects. METHODS The occlusal one-third of the crown of six human third molars was removed. The dentin surface was schematically divided into areas corresponding to four surface treatment groups: control (group C): 37% phosphoric acid etching; group I: Er:YAG laser 80 mJ; group II: Er:YAG laser 120 mJ; and group III: Er:YAG laser 180 mJ. The analysis was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman) before and after the treatments. Raman data were submitted to ANOVA and Bonferroni tests. RESULTS The SEM photomicrographs revealed open dentin tubules in the control group. The molars from groups I, II, and III showed partially open dentin tubules. SEM images showed that the laser-irradiated dentin surface was not favorable to the diffusion of monomers. A significant reduction of the spectra relative intensity was observed in group III specimens. CONCLUSIONS Er:YAG laser irradiation with 180 mJ could produce chemical changes in proteins, phosphate, and carbonate in dentin.

OBJECTIVE The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of Raman spectroscopy analysis as a research tool to study the effects of Er:YAG laser etching on dentin mineral and organic components. A secondary aim was to study the effects of the decontamination process and the storage procedure on dentin components. BACKGROUND DATA There are no spectroscopy reports relating the effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation as an alternative to acid etching and the manipulation process on the dentin structure. METHODS Twelve non-carious human third molars were divided in two main groups: stored in thymol solution (group A, n = 6) or autoclaved (group B, n = 6). The specimens were either etched with 37% phosphoric acid (control subgroup) or irradiated with Er:YAG laser. Irradiated samples were divided into the following subgroups: I, II, and III (80 mJ, 3 Hz, 30 sec; 120 mJ, 3 Hz, 30 sec; and 180 mJ, 3 Hz, 30 sec, respectively). Samples were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. RESULTS The mineral and organic dentin contents were more affected in autoclaved teeth than in the specimens stored in thymol. Peak area reduction in group A specimens treated with phosphoric acid and pulse energy of 80 mJ were the most conservative surface treatments regarding changes in the peak area of organic and inorganic dentin components. CONCLUSION The autoclaving process and pulse energies of 120 and 180 mJ produced greater reduction of organic and inorganic contents in dentin, associated with greater reduction in the areas of 968, 1077, 1460, and 1670 cm(1) Raman peaks.

Abstract
Although some studies claim to the increase of composite resin adhesion to Er:YAG-laser-treated dentin, there are still no reports on the adhesion of composite resin cements to the irradiated surface. This in vitro study evaluated the tensile bond strength (TBS) of a composite resin cement to dentin treated with the Er:YAG laser. Sixty human dentin samples were divided into four groups (n = 15): G1 (Control)-no treatment; G2-Er:YAG laser 60 mJ, 2 Hz, with water cooling, non-contact (19 J/cm(2)); G3-Er:YAG laser 60 mJ, 10 Hz, 50/10 fiber, contact, without water cooling (40 J/cm(2)); G4-Er:YAG laser 60 mJ, 10 Hz, 50/10 fiber, contact, with water cooling (40 J/cm(2)). After the surface treatment, each sample was submitted to bonding procedures. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey tests revealed no statistical significant difference on TBS values for groups G1 (13.73 +/- 3.05 MPa), G2 (12.60 +/- 2.09 MPa) and G4 (11.17 +/- 4.04 MPa). G4 was not statistically different from G3 (8.64 +/- 2.06 MPa). Er:YAG laser irradiation with different settings can constitute an alternative tool to the use of composite resin-luting cements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to clarify pulp reaction following cavity preparation with an Er:YAG laser and subsequent treatment with topically applied chemicals to achieve a high resin bond strength. BACKGROUND DATA The application of chemicals has been found to effectively remove or reform the denatured layer produced by Er:YAG laser irradiation and has been proposed as a new strategy for improving resin bond strength. However, very little is known about pulp reaction to chemical procedures. METHODS Class 5 dentin cavities were prepared with an Er:YAG laser in 128 teeth in nine adult dogs. The teeth were then coated with glutaraldehyde (GA group), or phosphoric acid and sodium hypochlorite (PA group) to reform or remove the denatured layer. All the cavities were then restored with composite resin. In the control group, no chemical application was carried out prior to restoration. The animals were sacrificed immediately after, and at 7 and 90 days following treatment. The treated teeth were then extracted for histopathological examination of the pulp. RESULTS Pathological evaluation of the pulp indicated a good condition in each group at each of the three observation time points. No bacterial growth was observed on the cavity walls or bacterial invasion into the dentinal tubules or pulp chambers in any of the groups at any of the observation periods. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the application of chemicals to remove or reform denatured layers is effective in obtaining better composite resin restoration with no pulp damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the influence of laser irradiation with a high pulse repetition rate on dentin bonding. BACKGROUND DATA Although resin bonding to erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laserirradiated dentin has frequently been investigated, the effects of a high pulse repetition rate have not yet been sufficiently investigated. METHODS Four groups treated under different laser conditions were evaluated in this study: 100 mJ/pulse-10 pulses per second [pps], 50 mJ/pulse-20 pps, 33 mJ/pulse-30 pps, and the unlased condition as a control. The total energy used to irradiate each group was adjusted to 1.0 W. After bovine dentin specimens were irradiated by an Er:YAG laser, acid conditioners (10% citric acid/3% ferric chloride) were applied to the lased surface. Thereafter, a PMMA rod was bonded to the lased dentin using 4- META/MMA-TBB resin, and mini-dumbbell-shaped specimens were prepared. These specimens were then tested under tensile mode and fractured surfaces were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS The bond strength of the unlased control was significantly higher than those of the three lased groups. Among the three lased groups, irradiation with higher output energy and lower pulse repetition rate tended to affect the higher bond strength. Upon SEM observation of the fractured surface, the lased groups showed the mixture of failure in the hybrid layer in almost part. There was no significant difference among the three lased groups. CONCLUSION It can be concluded from the results of this study that a higher pulse repetition rate is not effective for resin bonding to laser-irradiated dentin.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate by dispersive Raman spectroscopy the mineral and organic components of human dentin before and after laser irradiation and acid etching. The occlusal enamel of six non-carious human third molars was removed providing 6 dentin discs, which were divided in four quadrants each of them receiving a different surface treatment: etching with a 37% phosphoric acid gel (control); irradiation by Er:YAG laser (KaVo Key Laser II) with 80 mJ, 3 Hz, 30 s (group I); 120 mJ, 3 Hz, 30 s (group II); and 180 mJ, 3 Hz, 30 s (group III). The Raman spectra of normal (untreated) and treated dentin were analyzed and the mineral and the organic component were evaluated. Results were submitted to statistical analysis by ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% significance level. The minerals and organic content were less affected in the control group and group I (p>0.05). Group II presented more reduction in mineral content (p<0.01) whereas in group III the inorganic (p<0.05) and organic (p<0.01) content were more affected. Dispersive Raman spectroscopy provided valid information of dentin chemical constituents with non-chemical sampling preparation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze in vitro the influence of Er:YAG laser focal distance variation on tensile bond strength of a composite resin to dentin. Although there are several studies using the Er:YAG laser for dentin treatment, there is a lack of available literature related to the Er:YAG laser focal distance variation. Sixty vestibular and lingual dentin surfaces from extracted human third molars, kept in a 0.4% azide sodium solution, were ground and assigned to six groups. The control group was conditioned with 35% phosphoric acid (CA). In the lased groups, the dentin surface treatment was performed by irradiation with Er:YAG laser (80 mJ/2 Hz), varying the focal distance (11, 12, 14, 16, and 17 mm), followed by acid etching. The Single Bond/Filtek Z250 (3M) resinous system was used for the specimen manufacture. The tensile bond strength tests were performed in a Universal Testing Machine with 50 kgf load cell and 0.5 mm/min cross head speed. The averages in MPa were: CA: 18.03 (+/-2.09); 11 mm; 9.92 (+/-3.34); 12 mm: 9.49 (+/-2.29); 14 mm: 10.99 (+/-3.45); 16 mm: 10.56 (+/-1.93); and 17 mm: 17.05 (+/-2.31). It was concluded that the application of Er:YAG laser in a defocused mode (17 mm) associated with acid etching was similar to the treatment of acid solely. Er:YAG laser irradiation in a focused (12 mm) and a defocused (11, 14, and 16 mm) mode coupled with acid conditioning produced the lowest values of adhesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This in vitro study evaluated the influence of a flowable composite resin (FCR) on the tensile bond strength of resin to dentin treated with the Er:YAG Laser (L) and diamond bur (DB). STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety dentin surfaces obtained from 45 third molars were ground and randomly divided into six groups (n = 15): G1-DB, G2-DB+FCR, G3-L (100 mJ, 10 Hz, 37.04 J/cm2), G4-L (100 mJ, 10 Hz, 37.04 J/cm2)+FCR, G5-L (250 mJ, 2 Hz, 92.60 J/cm2), and G6-L (250 mJ, 2 Hz, 92.60 J/cm2)+FCR. After surface etching with 37% phosphoric acid and the application of an adhesive system, inverted conical specimens were prepared with a hybrid composite resin. In groups G2, G4, and G6 a FCR was placed before the hybrid composite resin. After 24 hours-storage in distilled water, the tensile test was performed in a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/minute, 500 N). RESULTS Data were submitted to Kruskal Wallis test (P = 0.01). The mean bond strength values (MPa+/-SD) were: G1-13.54 (+/-2.99), G2-14.67 (+/-2.32), G3-9.49 (+/-3.09), G4-14.60 (+/-2.76), G5-8.97 (+/-3.89), and G6-13.02 (+/-2.18). Groups G1 and G2 presented the highest bond strength values, which were statistically similar to those of G4 and G6. The groups treated with laser and without the FCR (G3 and G5) showed the lowest shear bond strength values. CONCLUSIONS FCR can increase the adhesion to dentin treated with Er:YAG laser within different parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile resistance of a flowable resin in different dentin depths, after superficial treatment with Er:YAG laser. METHODS Eighteen molars were selected and roots were removed. Crowns were bisected in half, embedded in polyester resin and ground until dentin was exposed. The bonding site was delimited and samples were randomly assigned into two groups: superficial dentin (SD--1 mm from amelodentinal junction) and deep dentin (DD--2 mm from amelodentinal junction). The samples were subdivided in three groups according to superficial treatment: non-rinsing conditioner (NRC) solely; Er:YAG laser (80 mJ/2 Hz)+NRC; Er:YAG laser solely. After conditioning, Prime and Bond NT/Dyract flow (Dentsply) was used for the manufacture of specimens. They were adapted to a metallic device, where resin cones were prepared. Samples were stored for 24 h and subjected to a bond strength test (50 kgf at 0.5 mm/min). RESULTS Means in MPa were: SD-NRC solely 12.29 (+/-4.40); laser+NRC 12.11(+/-3.23); laser solely 5.74(+/-3.01) and DD-NRC solely 9.60 (+/-3.13); laser+NRC 10.44(+/-2.23); laser solely 3.50(+/-1.70). Data were submitted to statistical analysis by ANOVA and Scheffé test (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS SD produced better results and tensile bond strength, while on DD the treatment with NRC or Laser+NRC had higher tensile bond strength. The results suggest that when Er:YAG laser for dentin treatment is used, it is mandatory to associate it to a conditioning agent.
