Introduction: Dentistry is undergoing a gentle revolution that will consign drill and fill to
history. In order to increase the acceptance of dental treatment, efforts are directed toward …

Dental caries is a disease of dental hard tissues, considered the most common non-
communicable disease worldwide. Conventional treatments for caries removal are often …

A number of concepts and devices have been proposed for caries removal. Among these,
the Er: YAG laser is a potential alternative to conventional mechanical treatment. This study …

During 40 years of laser research, a variety of systems have been tested for caries removal
and cavity preparation, but up to now only Erbium lasers have achieved clinical importance …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a new method
(Carisolv™) for chemo–mechanical removal of caries. At four centres, 137 consecutive …

Chemo-mechanical caries removal involves the chemical softening of carious dentine
followed by its removal by gentle excavation. The reagent involved is generated by mixing …

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the different surface characteristics of dentin
cavity walls created after preparation with five different caries removal techniques: hand …

Objective: We evaluated the applicability of a novel Er: YAG laser under clinical conditions.
Background Data: The Er: YAG laser has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective …

This research analyzed the influence of bur and erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-
gallium-garnet (Er, Cr: YSGG) laser caries removal on cavity characteristics and marginal …

Operative intervention should be avoided, whenever possible, by adopting a preventive
approach. Timely management of early caries can lead to arrest and possibly …
