The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the Scanning electron microscope (SEM) of indirect composite conditioned by Erbium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) laser, Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser.
18 indirect composite blocks (GC Gradia DA2, Japan) with 15 × 10 × 10 mm dimensions were made. The bonding surface of these blocks were polished, then the samples were divided into six groups as follow: Er:YAG laser with output power of 0.5 W and frequency of 10 Hz, Nd:YAG laser with output power of 0.25, 0.5 W and frequency of 10 Hz, CO2 laser with output power of 0.5 W and frequency of 10 Hz and 5 Hz, and no treatment. Then, the surfaces were evaluated by SEM.
Irregularities were observed in Er:YAG laser samples compared to control group that produced suitable retention for adhesion of cements. Nd:YAG and CO2 lasers showed melting areas.
Among different lasers, Er:YAG laser can be used as an alternative technique for surface treatment of indirect composites.
本研究的目的是评估和比较掺铒钇铝石榴石(Er:YAG)激光、掺钕钇铝石榴石(Nd:YAG)激光和二氧化碳(CO2)激光处理后的间接复合树脂的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)图像。
制作18个尺寸为15×10×10mm的间接复合树脂块(日本GC Gradia DA2)。将这些块体的粘结表面抛光,然后将样品分为六组如下:输出功率为0.5W、频率为10Hz的Er:YAG激光组,输出功率为0.25W、0.5W、频率为10Hz的Nd:YAG激光组,输出功率为0.5W、频率为10Hz和5Hz的CO2激光组,以及未处理组。然后,通过SEM对表面进行评估。
与对照组相比,Er:YAG激光处理的样品表面观察到不规则现象,这为粘结剂的粘结提供了合适的固位力。Nd:YAG激光和CO2激光处理的样品表面出现熔化区域。
在不同的激光中,Er:YAG激光可作为间接复合树脂表面处理的替代技术。
