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.

Clinical Relevance Statistical analysis of the results obtained in this study shows that Nd:YAG laser irradiation on the adhesive system has a significant influence on bond strength to dentin. Bond strength is improved by better adhesive penetration when low energy is applied; whereas, high energy densities have a deleterious effect on the procedure.

In the present study, effect of pre-oxidized (PO) CuO layer in the joining between polyethylene terephalate (PET) and copper (Cu) by using pulsed Nd:YAG laser was investigated. The experimental result for PET/PO Cu (with pre-oxidized layer) and PET/Cu (without pre-oxidized layer) were presented in this paper. The results showed the pre-oxidation surface improved the welding efficiency. The welded area and tensile shear failure load (TSFL) of PET/PO Cu joint were increased when pre-oxidized layer was introduced. This indicates that high heat was absorbed during laser irradiation of PET/PO-Cu joint compare to PET/Cu joint. On the other hand, the fracture surface of PET/PO-Cu showed the presence of Cu and Cu oxide particles in the PET side. While in case of PET/Cu, no occurrence of Cu particles can be observed. The presence of Cu oxide particles and Cu particles were believed may increase PET/PO Cu joint shear force. From the cross-sectional observation of PET/PO Cu joint interface, it was found that an oxide layer in the laser irradiation area was removed and PET seemed to have intimate contact with Cu surface.
