Er:YAG laser debonding of porcelain veneers

Read Abstract +

The removal of porcelain veneers using Er:YAG lasers has not been previously described in the scientific literature. This study was designed to systematically investigate the efficacy of an Er:YAG laser on veneer debonding without damaging the underlying tooth structure, as well as preserving a new or misplaced veneer. Initially, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used on flat porcelain veneer samples (IPS Empress Esthetic; Ivoclar Vivadent, Amherst, NY) to assess which infrared laser wavelengths are transmitted through the veneer. Additionally, FTIR spectra from a veneer bonding cement (RelyX Veneer Cement A1; 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN) were obtained. While the veneer material showed no characteristic water absorption bands in the FTIR, the bonding cement has a broad H2O/OH absorption band coinciding with the ER:YAG laser emission wavelength. Consequently Er:YAG laser energy transmission through different veneer thicknesses was measured. The porcelain veneers transmitted 11 - 18 % of the incident Er:YAG laser energy depending on their thicknesses (Er:YAG laser: LiteTouch by Syneron; wavelength 2,940 nm, 10 Hz repetition rate, pulse duration 100 μs at 133 mJ/pulse; straight sapphire tip 1,100 μm diameter; Syneron, Yokneam, Israel). Initial signs of cement ablation occurred at approximately 1.8 - 4.0 J/cm². This can be achieved by irradiating through the veneer with the fiber tip positioned at a distance of 3-6 mm from the veneer surface, and operating the Er:YAG laser with 133 mJ output energy. All eleven veneers bonded on extracted anterior incisor teeth were easily removed using the Er:YAG laser. The removal occurred without damaging underlying tooth structure as verified by light microscopic investigation (Incident Light Microscope Olympus B 50, Micropublisher RTV 3.3 MP, Image Pro software, Olympus). The debonding mainly occurred at the cement/veneer interface. When the samples were stored in saline solution for 5 days and/or an air-waterspray was used during irradiation, there was a high chance that the veneer would fractured during debonding. However if samples were not stored in water and only air spray was used, 75% of the veneers could be removed without any fracture. The use of an Er:YAG laser can be effective in not only debonding porcelain veneers and preserving tooth structure, but also in maintaining veneer integrity.

While earlier periodontal investigations have proved the frequency doubled Alexandrite laser to eliminate efficiently and selectively dental calculus as well as bacteria the aim of this study was to demonstrate the safety of this laser for removal of dental calculus with respect to the dental pulp. Four adult Labrador dogs were treated with a frequency doubled Alexandrite laser (laboratory prototype, q-switched, fiber guided, wavelength 377 nm, pulse duration 1 microsecond, pulse repetition rate 70 Hz, water cooling) to remove dental calculus. After performing a modified Widman flap procedure the buccal surface of nine teeth in the lower and upper right jaw were irradiated for four minutes per tooth. Three different laser fluences up to four times higher than the fluence required for calculus removal were used (1.5, 3 and 6 J/cm²). At three other sites of the right jaw deep cavities were prepared with a dental drill and filled with compomere material (Dyract^R, Dentsply, Germany) to serve as a positive control with regard to possible pulpal reactions. The corresponding teeth of the lower and upper left jaw served as controls. Animals were sacrificed one day, one week, four weeks and six weeks after treatment. Teeth were separated, fixed in formalin and decalcified. After embedding and sectioning the histological sections were stained and investigated by a totally blinded investigator (P.A.R). Histological investigations revealed that irradiation with the frequency doubled Alexandrite laser for periodontal treatment with fluences of 1.5 J/cm² -- those fluences necessary for the selective removal of dental calculus and microbial plaque -- had no adverse side effects to the pulpal tissues. Moreover this pulpal safety study demonstrated that even applying fluences two or four times higher than those suggested for calculus removal do not lead to observable changes or alterations in the odontoblast cell layer or the pulpal tissues. No inflammatory reactions and no differences between irradiated and control teeth occurred, while the positive controls showed reactions in the odontoblast cell layer and the connective pulpal tissue.

The aim of the study was to describe the effects of a caries selective laser system applied on human dentin. Ablation efficiencies of laser pulses emitted from a frequency doubled, gain-switched Alexandrite-laser (wavelength 377 nm) were determined for carious as well as for healthy dentin. Laser pulsed of different pulse duration, 100 ns and 1.6 microsecond(s) , were investigated in comparison. In spite of the different peak power- due to the different pulse durations-the ablation thresholds and ablation efficiencies were found to be about the same for 100 ns as for 1.6 microsecond(s) laser pulses. In healthy dentin two ablation efficiencies (0.03 and 0.12 mm³J^-1), according to the two different ablation regimes, could be described. An overall ablation efficiency of carious lesions from 34 different teeth was determined to be about 0.3 mm³J^-1. Fluences used for morphological and histological assessment were chosen with respect to the previously described ablation thresholds of healthy dentin. With respect to operating speed, the '99% selectivity mode' for fast caries ablation with fluences within the first ablation regime of healthy dentin (2.6 +/- 0.3 Jcm^-2) were used. The effects of different surrounding media-water and air-were studied in comparison. Light- and scanning electron microscopic investigations were performed. If during irradiation the tooth was submerged in water, craters in healthy dentin were small and uncolored. Crater walls demonstrated only a few microns of surface roughness. Ablation debris remains associated to the crater wall. Irradiation in air results in an early carbonization accompanied with melting and cracking of the irradiated dentin. As long as water cooling is provided the histological findings reveal that engaging a frequency-doubled Alexandrite-laser caries selective ablation is possible without too much damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. Nevertheless an active flow of cooling water is desirable in order to remove hot ablation debris out of the crater.
