Composite resin bond strength to primary dentin prepared with Er, Cr:YSSG laser

J Clin Pediatr Dent. 2005 Fall;30(1):45-9. doi: 10.17796/jcpd.30.1.el385u211tnu2574.

Abstract

This in vitro study evaluated the shear bond strength of a hybrid composite resin bonded to primary dentin prepared with an Er, Cr:YSGG hydrokinetic laser compared to conventional bur prepared primary dentin. The results suggest that primary dentin surfaces treated with the Er, Cr:YSGG laser, with or without etching, may provide comparable or increased composite resin bond strengths depending upon bonding agent used.
