Comparison of Heat Deposition of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG Lasers in Hard Dental Tissues
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a comparative study of residual heat deposition of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers during ablation of hard dental tissues. Residual heat deposition was obtained from measured irradiated hard tissue temperature decay characteristics immediately following Erbium laser pulses. The measured residual heat was larger in enamel than in dentine for both Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG sources. The amount of the unwanted residual heat that remains deposited in the tooth is for the H mode Er,Cr:YSGG by a factor of more than 2, and for the S mode Er,Cr:YSGG by a factor of more than 3 larger, compared to the deposited heat with the MSP mode Er:YAG laser. These findings, in addition to wavelength, pulse duration and pulse shape considerations made in previous studies, [4] at least partially explain the observed lower ablation efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG lasers compared to Er:YAG lasers, and may lead to their reduced safety and comfort for patients.

Comparison of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers used in dentistry
Erbium-doped solid-state laser systems have become an established tool in dentistry. The two most commonly used Erbium lasers in dentistry are Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG, with a subtle but important difference in their respective laser wavelengths. There is also an important difference in the type of technology they utilize to energize the flashlamps. The conventional PFN (Pulse Forming Network) pul...

متن کاملSoft Tissue Applications of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser in Pediatric Dentistry
Soft tissue laser, such as diode and Nd:YAG lasers were initially used in soft tissue lesions because of its increased success rate. It was because of the fact that these lasers were well-absorbed by chromophores, such as hemoglobin and melanin which are found abundant in the oral mucosa. The introduction of erbium family in 1990 comprising the Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers made the hard tissue ...
متن کاملRestorative dentistry for children using a hard tissue laser.
This article will describe how a hard tissue laser is used in various restorative procedures. The erbium family of lasers (Er,Cr:YSGG and Er:YAG) are highly absorbed in water and, to a lesser extent, in tooth mineral. Because a carious lesion contains significantly more water than healthy enamel or dentin, the laser can offer some selectivity in removing the diseased material. Furthermore, thes...
