Popis: | Objective: The aim of this study was to screen CO2 laser (10.6 μm) parameters to increase enamel resistance to a continuous-flow erosive challenge. Background data: A new clinical CO2 laser providing pulses of hundreds of microseconds, a range known to increase tooth acid-resistance, has been introduced in the market. Methods: Different laser parameters were tested in 12 groups (n=20) with varying fluences from 0.1 to 0.9 J/cm2, pulse durations from 80 to 400 μs and repetition rates from 180 to 700 Hz. Non-lased samples (n=30) served as controls. All samples were eroded by exposure to hydrochloric acid (pH 2.6) under continuous acid flow (60 μL/min). Calcium and phosphate release into acid was monitored colorimetrically at 30 sec intervals up to 5 min and at 1 min intervals up to a total erosion time of 15 min. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis was performed in lased samples (n=3). Data were statistically analysed by one-way ANOVA (p |
