This study evaluated the effect of CO2laser irradiation and topical fluoride therapy in the control of caries progression on primary teeth enamel. 30 fragments (3×3×2 mm) from primary canines were submitted to an initial cariogenic challenge that consisted of immersion on demineralizing solution for 3 hours and remineralizing solution for 21 hours for 5 days. Fragments were randomly assigned into three groups (n=10): L: CO2laser (λ=10.6 μm), APF: 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride, and C: no treatment (control). CO2laser was applied with 0.5 W power and 0.44 J/cm2energy density. Fluoride application was performed with 0.1 g for 1 minute. Cariogenic challenge was conducted for 5 days following protocol previously described. Subsurface Knoop microhardness was measured at 30 μm from the edge. Obtained data were subjected to analysis the variance (ANOVA) and Duncan test with significance of 5%. It was found that the L group showed greater control of deciduous enamel demineralization and were similar to those of APF group, while being statistically different from C group (P≤0.05) that showed the lowest microhardness values. It was concluded that CO2laser can be an additional resource in caries control progression on primary teeth enamel.

In this in vitro study, the compositional and structural changes of human dentin, and knoop harness of cavity floor following the removal of dental caries by Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation in primary teeth was compared with that of the conventional bur cavity. The results confirmed that laser irradiation revealed minimal thermal damage to the surrounding tissues, minimal thermal induced changes of dental hard tissue compositions, and favorable surface characteristic.

Extensive caries resulting in the need for a stainless steel crown in primary teeth may now be prepared with the use of the WaterlaseTM YSGG Laser, (Biolase®) hard and soft-tissue laser. The use of the laser eliminates the need for local anesthesia, thereby providing optimal patient comfort and compliance.

ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate four different techniques of caries excavation in primary teeth in terms of efficacy, efficiency and pain experienced during the procedure. Materials and methods Sample of 120 teeth from children aged 5 to 9 years were equally divided into 4 groups – Air rotor (group A), Carisolv (group B), Papacarie (group C) and Er:YAG laser (group D). Visual and tactile criteria along with DIAGNOdent pen value was used to evaluate efficacy. Time was recorded to determine efficiency and FLACC scale was used to assess the pain experienced. Results Air rotor and laser were more effective and efficient method whereas laser and CMCR methods were more comfortable methods. Conclusion Laser irradiation and CMCR methods are comparable to conventional methods in terms of effectiveness and are less painful methods. Clinical significance Newer techniques of CMCR and laser irradiation of dentinal caries are minimally invasive methods and are less painful and thus should be more frequently employed in pediatric dentistry.
