Clinical Relevance The thickness of the residual dentin is a critical factor in the reducing thermal transfer to pulp, and this transfer varies with the curing unit used.

Objective. Nd:YAP laser has several potentialities of clinical applications in endodontics. The aim of our study is to determine the safety range of irradiation parameters during endodontic application of Nd:YAP laser that can be used without damaging and overheating the periodontal tissue.Material and Methods. Twenty-seven caries-free single-rooted extracted human teeth were used. Crowns were sectioned to obtain 11 mm root canal length. Temperature increases at root surfaces were measured by a thermocouple during Nd:YAP laser irradiation of root canals at different energy densities. Canal irradiation was accomplished with a circular and retrograde movement from the apex until the cervical part of the canal during 10 seconds with an axial speed of 1 mm/s. Each irradiation was done in a canal irrigated continuously with 2.25% NaOCl solution.Results. Periodontal temperature increase depends on the value of energy density. Means and standard deviations of temperature increases at root surfaces were below 10°C (safe threshold level) when the average energy densities delivered per second were equal to or below 4981 J/cm2and 9554 J/cm2, respectively, for irradiations using a fiber diameter of 320 μm and 200 μm.Conclusions. Within the limitations of this study and under specific irradiation conditions, Nd:YAP laser beam may be considered harmless for periodontal tissues during endodontic applications.

The use of lasers has been suggested for orthodontists to fabricate or repair orthodontic appliances by welding metals directly in the mouth. This work aimed to evaluate the temperature changes in the pulp chamber during welding of an orthodontic wire to an orthodontic molar band using Nd : YAG laserin vitro. A freshly extracted human third molar with eliminated pulpal tissues was used. J-type thermocouple wire was positioned in the pulp chamber. A conductor gel was used in the transferring of outside temperature changes to the thermocouple wire. An orthodontic band was applied to the molar tooth and bonded using light cured orthodontic cement. Twenty five mm length of 0.6 mm diameter orthodontic stainless steel wires was welded to the orthodontic band using Nd : YAG laser operated at 9.4 watt. Temperature variation was determined as the change from baseline temperature to the highest temperature was recorded during welding. The recorded temperature changes were between 1.8 and 6.8°C (mean: 3.3 ± 1.1°C). The reported critical 5.5°C level was exceeded in only one sample. The results of this study suggest that intraoral use of lasers holds great potential for the future of orthodontics and does not present a thermal risk. Further studies with larger samples and structural analysis are required.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Proximal stripping of enamel is a routine clinical procedure employed in orthodontics to create space or for balancing tooth size discrepancies. This procedure may result in heat transfer to the pulp, predisposing it to histopathological changes and necrosis of the pulp tissue. Objective: To measure the temperature changes in the pulp chamber during different stripping procedures. Methods: 80 proximal surfaces of 40 extracted human premolar teeth were stripped using four techniques: diamond burs in air-rotor handpiece with air-water spray; diamond burs in micromotor handpiece, with and without a coolant spray; and hand-held diamond strips. A J-type thermocouple connected to a digital thermometer was inserted into the pulp chamber for evaluation of temperature during the stripping procedure. Results: An increase in the pulpal temperature was observed for all stripping method. Diamond burs in micromotor handpiece without coolant resulted in the higher increase in temperature (3.5oC), followed by hand-held diamond strips (2.8oC), diamond burs in air-rotor with air-water spray (1.9oC); and the smallest increase was seen with diamond burs in micromotor handpiece with coolant (1.65oC). None of the techniques resulted in temperature increase above the critical level of 5.5oC. Conclusion: Frictional heat produced with different stripping techniques results in increase in the pulpal temperature, therefore, caution is advised during this procedure. A coolant spray can limit the increase in temperature of the pulp.

Interference with live tooth tissue during dental treatment affects the temperature within the pulp. The pulp is sensitive to temperature changes, which can cause its inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics of pulp chamber temperature changes in response to the enamel cleaning procedure after orthodontic treatment. In the presented in vitro studies, by using a thermal imaging camera, the change in the temperature of the vestibular wall of the pulp chamber of the incisors and premolars was assessed as a function of time under the influence of polishing the enamel with the silicone rubber and aluminum oxides used during the debonding procedure after completion of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. The relationship between dentin density and enamel from changing the chamber temperature was evaluated by using Micro computed tomography, microtomography (micro-CT). The maximum achieved tooth surface temperature during polishing was 52.34 °C without water cooling and 43.15 °C using water cooling. The time after which a safe pulp temperature of 40 °C was obtained without water cooling was 29.4 s, while the time with water cooling was 34.6 s. The correlation between the maximum and average temperature achieved and the density of the teeth was analyzed based on micro-CT scans. No correlation between enamel or dentin density and rise in temperature was found.
