A total of eight teeth from two rhesus monkeys were exposed to various amounts of neodymium laser radiation. The pulp response was found to be much less severe than that in a study of nineteen teeth previously reported for exposure to similar amounts of ruby laser radiation. If additional studies support this initial finding, it is suggested that a re-evaluation of neodymium laser-mediated procedures in vital teeth be initiated.
