Synchronous radiation with Er:YAG and Ho:YAG lasers for efficient ablation of hard tissues
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 laser. An ultra-high-speed camera and an infrared thermography camera were used to observe and investigate the ablation mechanisms.

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:ysgg Laser Ablation of Dental Hard Tissues
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 develop...
