The notion of utilizing laser technology in conservative dentistry was proposed in 1990 by Hibst and Keller, who introduced the possibility of using an Er:YAG laser as alternative to conventional instruments such as the turbine and micro-motor. In subsequent years a continuing effort has been made by clinicians, researchers and commercial companies to improve the technology. The aim of this clinical study is to demonstrate, by the description of different clinical cases, the possibilities and the advantages of using Er:YAG lasers in conservative dentistry and to show that better results may be achieved in terms of stronger adhesion, less invasiveness, reduced pain as well as greater comfort and satisfaction of patients.
1990年，希布斯特和凯勒提出了在保守牙科中应用激光技术的概念，他们介绍了使用掺铒钇铝石榴石（Er:YAG）激光替代涡轮机和微型电机等传统器械的可能性。在随后的几年里，临床医生、研究人员和商业公司不断努力改进这项技术。本临床研究的目的是通过描述不同的临床病例，证明在保守牙科中使用Er:YAG激光的可能性和优势，并表明在更强的附着力、更小的侵入性、减轻疼痛以及提高患者的舒适度和满意度方面可以取得更好的效果。
