Dental caries can be installed by laser irradiation due to its effect on chemical,
physical and crystalline properties of the enamel. Enamel remineralization
can be induced by laser irradiation at a specific wavelength. Laser irradiation
might reinforce the enamel structure by causing physical fusion of the surface
and reducing enamel solubility by melting, sealing and re-crystallization .
Ultra-structural alterations in the enamel crystals might end in reduced
enamel solubility. These noticeable enamel alterations are: reduction of water
and carbonate content, increased amount of hydroxyl ion contents, formation
of pyrophosphates, and decomposition of proteins. Esteves-Oliveira et al.
stated that CO2 laser was capable to eliminate the enamel caries progression .
Also, it is reported that Pulsed CO2 laser irradiation caused enamel surface
fusion and inhibition of the subsurface caries-like lesions with 50% success
rate . Moreover, increased micro-hardness of enamel surface was detected by
several studies after laser application.
