Abstract Background. In orthodontics, erbium (Er: YAG) lasers can be used for bracket
debonding. Objectives. To assess the changes in temperature of pulp and enamel during …

Objective: To evaluate the effects of bracket removal using an erbium laser on the pulp
temperature and enamel surface. Background: Removal of orthodontic brackets with …

Debonding of ceramic brackets can cause problems such as bracket fracture and enamel
damage due to high bond strength and low fracture toughness. Laser irradiation, aiming to …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the temperature changes in the pulp
chamber while using a newly introduced application of Er: YAG laser to debond ceramic …

Objectives Conventional methods for orthodontic metal brackets debonding produce forces
that are high enough to cause enamel scratches, fracture, and patient's discomfort. The aim …

Introduction: Ceramic brackets debonding is considered a clinical challenge due to their low
fracture toughness and high shear bond strength. The shear bond strength must be reduced …

This study was done to determine the amount of lasing time required to remove ceramic
brackets safely without causing intrapulpal damage by using Er: YAG laser with the …

Background. Deboning of ceramic brackets using a Er: YAG laser has become an
acceptable method to facilitate the removal of such type of brackets. Therefore, research has …

Lasers are effective in debonding ceramic brackets. Unfortunately, while reducing the
adhesive bond strength, lasers are also reported to increase pulpal temperature. The aim of …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop an effective method for debonding
ceramic orthodontic brackets with a high-peak power Nd: YAG laser. Methods: Two types of …
