PG - 265-8 LID - 10.3881/j.issn.1000-503X.2010.03.005 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of combination of pulsed CO2 laser irradiation and diammine silver fluoride treatment on the ultrastructure of dentine. METHODS: Each extracted molars was made into four identical dentinal specimens, which were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the treatment methods: A, control group; B, pulsed CO2 laser irradiation; C, coated with 38%Ag(NH3)2F; and D, laser irradiation plus fluoride. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was performed. RESULTS: As shown by SEM, group A showed clear dentinal tubuli, group B showed melted surface without dentinal tubule openings, group C showed thicker melted layer without dentinal tubule openings, and group D showed the thickest melted and recrystallized layer on dentine surface. CONCLUSIONS: Both pulsed CO2 laser irradiation and 38%Ag(NH3)2F treatment can seal dentinal tubule. The combination of these two techniques can form a synergistic effect.
