Labunet A, Tonea A, Kui A, Sava S. The Use of Laser Energy for Etching Enamel Surfaces in Dentistry-A Scoping Review. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15061988. [PMID: 35329440 PMCID: PMC8949169 DOI: 10.3390/ma15061988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In dental practice, different situations require etching the enamel layer. Acid etching, the present golden standard, may be replaced by other methods, such as laser etching. The main focus of our scoping review is to assess the existent literature regarding the effectiveness of different types of lasers, to identify the main aspects studied so far, and to understand where new search strategies are needed. METHODS The search was conducted in several databases focusing on the laser etching of human definitive enamel. We included English language articles published between January 2000 and December 2021. RESULTS The 34 articles reviewed showed that hard lasers, Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YAG, may represent an alternative etching method on enamel surfaces. They create a fractured, irregular surface and open dentin tubules, highly suitable for adhesion but with a lower risk of cavity formation. Nd:YAG, CO2, and Diode lasers do not help in creating sufficient shear bond strength. There is, however, evidence suggesting that microcracks in the enamel layer may appear after thermomechanical ablation using laser energy. CONCLUSIONS While the use of acid etching is still successfully used for enamel conditioning, some researchers have emphasized the role played by saliva in the enamel-remineralization process a few days after the procedure. In this context, laser energy can be used, especially for bonding ceramic brackets in the case of orthodontic treatments. However, as thermomechanical ablation can generate microcracks, further research is required in order to establish clear findings concerning the use of laser energy on enamel etching.

Saudi Dent J 2021; 33:474-480. [PMID: 34803289 PMCID: PMC8589615 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2020.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 10/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The most used product for surface acid conditioning for enamel is 37-40% phosphoric acid, which promotes greater mechanical retention. Aim The objective of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets bonded to bovine enamel with different acid conditioning protocols and to analyze the surface morphology. Materials and methods 169 teeth (n = 13) were divided into 4 groups: control group without conditioning (G1), Dental Gel 37% phosphoric acid (Dentsply) (G2), Ultra Etch 35% (Ultradent) (G3) and Attaque gel 37% (Biodinâmica) (G4). Groups G2, G3 and G4 were subdivided according to the conditioning time into: 10 s (a), 15 s (b), 30 s (c) and 60 s (d). The superficial enamel morphology (n = 3) was analyzed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze the depth of the microporosities. The samples were submitted to the shear test (SBS) with the aid of a universal testing machine (INSTRON) with a speed of 1 mm/min. The enamel after debonding was analyzed to determine the adhesive remnant index (ARI) in a stereoscopic magnifying glass. Statistical analysis used The SBS data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. ARI data were analyzed using generalized linear models and SEM measurements were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests. The 95% significance level was used. Results The SBS within G2, G3 and G4 ranged from 11.11 to 12.66 MPa. ARI score 3 was observed in 35% of the samples. The samples analyzed in the SEM showed microporosity depth rangingfrom 1.28 to 2.48 μm. Conclusions There was no difference between the acids and times evaluated for SBS. The ARI analysis showed that the studied acids provide protection to the enamel surface, keeping the adhesive attached to the buccal surface after debonding. The increase in conditioning time is directly proportional to the deterioration of the prismatic and interprismatic content.

Use of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser for removing remnant adhesive from the enamel surface in rebonding of orthodontic brackets. Odontology 2019; 108:271-279. [PMID: 31452004 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-019-00448-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 07/23/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the use of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser with the use of adhesive-removing pliers for removing remnant adhesive from the enamel surface. A total of 54 sound premolars were divided into two groups of 27. Each group was assigned one of two adhesive removal systems: the Er,Cr:YSGG laser, and adhesive-removing pliers. Shear bond strength was measured 24 h after bracket bonding, with the bracket bonding/debonding and residual adhesive removal procedures repeated twice after the first adhesive removal. Before the first bonding and after each adhesive removal procedure, the average surface roughness (Ra) of each tooth was measured. Additionally, 14 of the premolars were examined under a scanning electron microscope. There were no significant differences in the shear bond strength between the two removal systems or between the three debonding sequences. There were significant differences in the enamel surface roughness after each removal sequence between the adhesive removal systems, and a significant increase in the enamel surface roughness was noted in each group with successive removal sequences. The scanning electron microscope images revealed evaporation of the primer and adhesive on the enamel surface and laser etching of enamel in the laser removal group, and the remnants of primer and adhesive on the enamel surface after each removal sequence in the plier removal group. The Er,Cr:YSGG laser was useful for removing remnant adhesive from the enamel surface for bracket rebonding.

Abstract
Orthodontic treatment is widely used to correct irregular teeth and/or jaw discrepancies to improve oral function and facial aesthetics. However, it is frequently associated with enamel damage that include chipping, demineralisation, and white spot formation. So far, current bonding systems that can maintain shear bond strengths (SBS) suitable for clinical performance are unable to limit enamel demineralisation, adhesive remnants and damage caused on removal of brackets after treatment. This study reports a novel "safe enamel etch" clinically viable procedure that was accomplished via application of novel etchant pastes developed with β-tricalcium phosphate and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate powders mixed with citric acid (5 M) or phosphoric acid (37% PA) to yield BCA and BPA etchants respectively. Although enamel etched with clinically used PA gel yielded higher SBS than the BCA/BPA etchants, it exhibited greater adhesive remnants with evidence of enamel damage. In contrast, the experimental etchants resulted in unblemished enamel surfaces with zero or minimal adhesive residue and clinically acceptable SBS. Furthermore, the BPA etchant caused lower enamel decalcification with extensive calcium-phosphate precipitation. The study conclusively showed that BPA facilitated in vitro enamel adhesion without detrimental effects of the aggressive PA gel with potential for remineralisation and saving time at the post-debonding step.

Abstract
Background. Bracket base design is a factor influencing shear bond strength. High shear bond strength leads to enamel crack formation during debonding. The aim of this study was to compare enamel damage variations, including the number and length of enamel cracks after debonding of two different base designs. Methods. Eighty-eight extracted human premolars were randomly divided into2 groups (n=44). The teeth in each group were bonded by two types of brackets with different base designs: 80-gauge mesh design versus anchor pylon design with pylons for adhesive retention. The number and length of enamel cracks before bonding and after debonding were evaluated under an optical stereomicroscope ×40 in both groups. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the number of cracks between the two groups. ANCOVA was used for comparison of crack lengths after and before debonding in each group and between the two groups. Results. There was a significant increase in enamel crack length and numbers in each group after debonding. There was no significant difference in enamel crack numbers after debonding between the two groups, whereas the length of enamel cracks was significantly greater in anchor pylon base design after debonding. Conclusion. Bracket bases with pylon design for adhesive retention caused more iatrogenic debonding damage to enamel surface.

Abstract
Background. Failure of orthodontic bracket bonds is a common occurrence during orthodontic treatment. Different techniques have been suggested in the literature to remove resin residues from the bracket bases and enamel surfaces to prepare the surfaces again after debonding. This study attempted to compare multiple rebond shear strengths (SBS) of debonded brackets following preparation with sandblasting and CO2 laser. Methods. The brackets were bonded on 30 human and bovine maxillary central incisors using self-curing composite resin. SBS was measured using Hounsfield testing machine. The brackets were rebonded for two other times after composite resin residues on their surfaces were removed, either with air abrasion or CO2 laser. The debonded brackets and enamel surfaces were also evaluated after each debonding procedure under a stereomicroscope in order to determine adhesive remnant index (ARI). SBS of debonded brackets after each step were compared between sandblast and CO2 laser groups. Results. We observed significant differences in SBS values between pre-recycling and first (P = 0.04), second (P = 0.007) and third recycling (P = 0.007) with laser. Recycling with sandblasting resulted in a decrease in SBS after the first and second recycling procedure; however, the SBS increased after the third recycling procedure, with no significant differences. Conclusion. SBS of brackets after recycling with sandblasting and laser beams was not significantly different, and both were at a favorable level. However, repeating the recycling procedure with sandblasting resulted in more favorable SBS compared to laser.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the conventional etching and primer method (CEP) and the self-etching primer method (SEP) in rebonding brackets. METHODS Forty human maxillary second premolars extracted for orthodontic purpose were randomly divided into 4 equal groups. Group 1 and Group 2 were bonded using the CEP method; Group 3 and Group 4 using the SEP method. All the brackets were debonded and 40 new brackets were rebonded with four different protocols after surface cleaning: Group 1: CEP + adhesive; Group 2: CEP without etch step + adhesive; Group 3: SEP + adhesive; Group 4: non-acidic primer + adhesive. Then, the shear bond strength (SBS) of each group was tested and the measurements of adhesive remnant index scores (ARI) and SEM examination were performed. RESULTS The mean SBSs for Group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 14.18, 6.57, 11.90, 5.91 MPa, respectively. Statistical differences of the SBS existed between Group 1 and 2 (P < 0.05) and between Group 3 and 4 (P < 0.05). No difference was found between Group 1 and 3, or Group 2 and 4. CONCLUSION Omission of the acid-etching step in rebonding orthodontic brackets may be adequate for the clinical requirement. No differences in SBS and ARI of the rebonded brackets were showed between CEP and SEP methods.
