Dental Erosion and Treatment

Intact tooth enamel from humans was exposed extraorally to a superpulsed, carbon-dioxide laser at energy densities of 10 to 15 joules/cm2. When it was tested in the mouth of one of the investigators, the lased enamel proved much more resistant than unlased control enamel to the oral environmental influences generally conducive to dental caries.
