Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of the 980-nm diode laser for dentinal tubule occlusion, measure the intrapulpal temperature, and investigate the dental pulp response. MATERIALS AND METHODS The dentinal samples were randomly divided into G1-G7 groups: control; 980-nm laser irradiation (0.5 W, 10 s; 0.5 W, 10 s × 2; 0.8 W, 10 s; 0.8 W, 10 s × 2; 1.0 W, 10 s; 1.0 W, 10 s × 2). The dentin discs were applied for laser irradiation and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The intrapulpal temperature was measured on the 1.0-mm and 2.0-mm thickness samples, and then divided into G2-G7 groups according to laser irradiation. Moreover, forty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into the laser-irradiated group (euthanized at 1, 7, and 14 days after irradiation) and the control group (non-irradiated). qRT-PCR, histomorphology, and immunohistochemistry analysis were employed to evaluate the response of dental pulp. RESULTS SEM indicated the occluding ratio of dentinal tubules in the G5 (0.8 W, 10 s × 2) and G7 (1.0 W, 10 s × 2) were significantly higher than the other groups (p < 0.05). The maximum intrapulpal temperature rises in the G5 were lower than the standard line (5.5 ℃). qRT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression level of TNF-α and HSP-70 upregulated significantly at 1 day (p < 0.05). Histomorphology and immunohistochemistry analysis showed that, compared with the control group, the inflammatory reaction was slightly higher at the 1 and 7 days (p < 0.05) and decreased to the normal levels at 14 days (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A 980-nm laser at a power of 0.8 W with 10 s × 2 defines the best treatment for dentin hypersensitivity in terms of compromise between the efficacy of the treatment and the safety of the pulp. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The 980-nm laser is an effective option for treating dentin sensitivity. However, we need to ensure the safety of the pulp during laser irradiation.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser with a tungsten carbide bur in orthodontic finishing on the enamel surface roughness and the heat generated in the pulp chamber. Methods: Before bonding, of 125 intact extracted premolar teeth, 15 teeth were randomly assigned to the control group. Of the remaining 110 bonded teeth, 50 were used to determine the laser parameters, and 60 were included in the main in vitro study. After debonding, the teeth were randomly distributed among four study groups (n = 15) for finishing with laser beams (Er,Cr:YSGG, Waterlase) with and without polishing with Sof-Lex discs, and finishing with a bur (tungsten carbide, Reliance) with and without polishing with Sof-Lex discs. The thermal changes were measured during finishing using a thermo-controller-coupled thermocouple placed in the pulp chamber. Enamel surface roughness was evaluated qualitatively under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and quantitatively under an atomic force microscope (AFM). Results: The thermal changes of the bur group were significantly higher than those in the laser group (p = 0.0001). Quantitatively, the surface roughness values of all the study groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05), with no significant difference between the study groups (p > 0.05). SEM analysis confirmed the AFM measurements. Conclusions: Er,Cr:YSGG can be recommended as an alternative for a carbide bur for adhesive agent removal after orthodontic debonding, considering its mild thermal effect on the pulp. Polishing with Sof-Lex discs did not significantly reduce the surface roughness, regardless of the finishing procedure.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a controlled pulp damage repair model in miniature pigs by using a diode laser. Background: Laser is a novel kind of controllable energy, and it is widely used in dentistry. Methods: The premolars of four 24- to 28-month-old miniature pigs were divided into three laser groups, according to the output powers of a diode laser, and the nonirradiated first molars acted as controls. The teeth in laser groups were irradiated under three parameters (output powers 1.5, 2.5, 4 W, continuous wave, frequency 50 Hz for 60 sec). The dental and gingival morphology was observed at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days after laser irradiation. The animals were sacrificed for qualitative and quantitative pulp histopathological analysis. Results: The three laser groups present no seriously irreversible dental and gingival damage. In the 1.5-W group, dental pulp exhibited angiectasis and hyperemia with no inflammation, and did not significantly differ with the control groups at 21 days (p > 0.05). In the 2.5-W group, pulpal inflammation was highest at 7 days and then decreased significantly at 21 days, and the tissue repair appeared at 14 days (p < 0.05). In the 4-W group, pulpal inflammation was significantly highest at 7 days, with an increase in the degree of tissue repair (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The output power of 1.5 W developed a reversible pulpitis model; the output powers of 2.5 and 4 W within 7 days led to the development of irreversible pulpitis models, which proceeded as chronic pulpitis with obvious tissue repair.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of EDTA-treated dentin on the differentiation of mouse induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Dentin discs were prepared from bovine incisors and treated with 17% EDTA. Embryoid bodies (EBs) formed from mouse iPS cells were seeded on the dentin discs for the experiment. The roughness of the EDTA-treated dentin surface, Sa and Sdr, was higher and collagen fibrillike structures were observed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in vitro. In RT-PCR, the mRNA levels of the osteoblast markers Bsp and Ocn were significantly higher in the experimental group. Expression of the DMP1, DSP, and BSP proteins were more notable in the experimental group by immunofluorescence (ICF) study. In vivo study, cartilage and bone-like tissue were observed adjacent to the EDTA-treated dentin. The study demonstrates that the dentin treated with 17% EDTA induces mouse iPS cells to differentiate into the osteo/odontogenesis.

Abstract
This report shows the healing process of an exposed pulp carbonised by CO2 laser irradiation prior to the application of a capping material. Six intact teeth from four volunteers were irradiated by CO2 laser and randomly capped with either an adhesive resin (SE bond) (n = 3) or calcium hydroxide-based cement (Dycal) (n = 3). The laser was operated in super-pulsed mode (power output, 0.5 W) for an irradiation time of 30 s. All cavities were restored with composite resin. Each tooth was extracted at approximately 30, 50 or 260 days post treatment and prepared for histological evaluation. CO2 laser irradiation controlled exudate and bleeding from each exposed pulp. Histological images revealed Dycal promoted complete dentine bridge formation at the carbonised pulp surface, and laser energy affected not only the pulp surface but also the deeper part of the pulp chamber.
