Comparison of Er:yag and Er:ysgg Laser Ablation of Dental Hard Tissues
نویسندگان
چکیده
To compare ablation quality of Er:YAG and Er:YSGG laser the surface quality, crater shape, mass loss, and temperature development were determined using the same fibre transmission system and handpiece. Similar crater depths for both lasers but greater diameters for the Er:YAG laser were measured. Also mass loss per pulse of the Er:YAG laser exceeds that of the Er:YSGG laser. Temperature development while ablation of dentin is more pronounced for the Er:YSGG laser. The observed minor ablation quality of the Er:YSGG laser can be explained by the lower absorption coefficient of dental hard substances compared to the Er:YAG laser.

Comparison of Heat Deposition of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG Lasers in Hard Dental Tissues
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. ...
متن کاملComparison 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...

Background and Objectives: The most recent technological breakthroughs incorporated in the latest generation of Variable Square Pulse (VSP) Er:YAG dental lasers involve two additional features: SSP (Super Short Pulse) mode for extremely fine and minimally invasive laser ablation; and MAX mode for maximum optical drilling speeds. The objective of this study was to make a comparison between the t...
متن کاملSynchronous radiation with Er:YAG and Ho:YAG lasers for efficient ablation of hard tissues
Er:YAG and Ho:YAG laser beams were combined to irradiate hard tissues to achieve highly efficient ablation with low laser power. The delay time between pulses of the two lasers was controlled to irradiate alumina ceramic balls used as hard tissue models. With optimized delay time, the combined laser beam perforated the sample 40% deeper than independent radiation by either an Er:YAG or Ho:YAG l...
متن کاملA Pilot Study of Skin Resurfacing Using the 2,790-nm Erbium:YSGG Laser System
BACKGROUND The erbium:yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er:YSGG) laser differs from other laser techniques by having a faster and higher cure rate. Since the Er:YSGG laser causes an appropriate proportion of ablation and coagulation, it has advantages over the conventional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and the erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, including heating tendencies and exp...
