| Abstract | ||
| Besides having a modest penetration depth, a carbon dioxide laser operating at 10,600 nm has a strong absorption affinity for water. It's useful for coagulation of bleeding and soft-tissue surgery. Also, its absorption properties are consistent with hydroxyapatite, a mineral found in tooth enamel and dentin. This article examines the current research on the impacts of 10,600 nm Carbon Dioxide Laser on enamel surfaces. When compiling this review's data, we restricted our attention to articles that were made available online. For this study, we utilized the following search terms on \"Google Scholar\" and \"PubMed\" websites: CO2 Laser (10,600 nm), Demineralized enamel, Microhardness, enamel erosion, remineralization, fluoride. Only publications written in English from 2005 through June 2023 were included in this review. Priority was given to original articles and clinical research. Conclusion: The 10,600 nm CO2 laser is widely accepted in caries prevention. CO2 lasers have been the subject of much research but have yet to be used in therapeutic settings. Effective laser energy transmission to enamel allows for the transformation of carbonated hydroxyapatite into the purer hydroxyapatite of enamel. The laser enhances fluorides and other caries-preventive ingredients' effectiveness. As a result, resin bonds better to tooth enamel. | ||
