The aim of this study was to evaluate the composite surface treated by different powers of Erbium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) laser in comparison with bur preparation via scanning electron microscope.
Fourteen composite resin blocks with 15× 10 × 10 mm dimensions were used in this study. The samples were divided to seven groups as follow: Group 1 (power: 1 W, Energy: 50 mJ); Group 2 (power: 2 W, Energy: 100 mJ); Group 3 (power: 3W, Energy: 150 mJ); Group 4 (power: 4 W, Energy: 200 mJ); Group 5 (power: 5W, Energy: 250 mJ); Group 6 (power: 6 W, Energy: 300 mJ); Group 7: Diamond bur. Then, the samples were prepared for SEM examination.
The surface treated by Er:YAG laser showed irregular and micro porous surface.
It seems that composite surface treatment by Er:YAG laser can be an alternative method for composite repair if suitable parameters are used.
本研究旨在通过扫描电子显微镜,评估掺铒钇铝石榴石(Er:YAG)激光不同功率处理后的复合材料表面,并与车针预备的表面进行比较。
本研究使用了14个尺寸为15×10×10毫米的复合树脂块。样本分为以下七组:第1组(功率:1瓦,能量:50毫焦);第2组(功率:2瓦,能量:100毫焦);第3组(功率:3瓦,能量:150毫焦);第4组(功率:4瓦,能量:200毫焦);第5组(功率:5瓦,能量:250毫焦);第6组(功率:6瓦,能量:300毫焦);第7组:金刚石车针。然后,对样本进行扫描电子显微镜检查的准备工作。
经Er:YAG激光处理的表面呈现出不规则和微孔状表面。
如果使用合适的参数,用Er:YAG激光处理复合材料表面似乎可以成为复合材料修复的一种替代方法。
