Background: Acid etching enamel improves resin-enamel adhesion and adhesive characteristics, but has pros and cons. The effects of laser etching on the bonding of orthodontic brackets vary depending on the wavelength, power output, exposure duration, and energy delivered.
Materials And Methods: This study used a new 1064-nm diode laser to irradiate 30 freshly extracted human premolars.
