Erbium laser in the debonding of ceramics: a literature review

Background: The debonding of crowns and ceramic veneers with laser is already a reality in the clinic. It presentsbenefits comparison to traditional removal use rotating instrument; however, there still noconsolidated protocol many professionals it without necessary scientific basis. Objective: aim ofthis work was perform literature review on indirect restorations using Er:YAGand Er,Cr:YSGG lasers provide clinical community careful analysis, alsoto guiding irradiation at for such procedures. Methods: Bibliographic searches were performed inthe following databases: Pubmed, Web Science Google Scholar. According inclusion criteria adopted,twenty-seven vitro studies selected period from 2007 2021. In present work, thecomposition facets, as well types cement protocols adoptedin detailed. Conclusions: concluded that erbium debondingof proved be more selective conservative when compared witha rotary diamond instrument. Furthermore, shown efficient different typesof ceramics. However, are great variations “debonding” protocols, which emphasizes need forfurther seek standardize considering situations.KEYWORDSVeneers debonding; Debonding; laser; Er:YAG Ceramics.
