The purpose of our investigation is to compare the intrapulpal temperature changes following blue LED system and halogen lamp irradiation at the enamel surface of permanent teeth. The fixation of brackets using composite resin is more comfortable and faster when using a photo-curable composite. Several light sources can be used: halogens, arc plasma, lasers, and recently blue LED systems.

Background Data: There are different results reported in the literature which relate to laser Er:YAG effects on dentin surface as a pretreatment during adhesives procedures.
Materials And Methods: Forty-two surfaces of human dentin from third upper molar were used after being extracted and kept in the refrigerator in 0.
