This in vitro study aimed to investigate the potential of CO2 lasers associated with different fluoride agents in inhibiting enamel erosion. Human enamel samples were randomly divided into 9 groups (n = 12): G1-eroded enamel; G2-APF gel; G3-AmF/NaF gel; G4-AmF/SnF2 solution; G5-CO2 laser (λ = 10.6 µm)+APF gel; G6-CO2 laser+AmF/NaF gel; G7-CO2laser+AmF/SnF2solution; G8-CO2 laser; and G9-sound enamel.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on eroded dentin morphology and on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of adhesive systems to this substrate. Ninety-six extracted third molars were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 12) according to the type of surface treatment and the adhesive system: G1 = Control + Clearfil SE Bond [SE], G2 = Diamond bur [DB] + SE, G3 = Er:YAG laser (60 mJ, 2 Hz, 0.

- The study aimed to determine how different surface treatments on dentin (including control, diamond bur, and different lasers) affect dentin surface structure and bond strength.
- Sixteen dentin samples were analyzed using electron microscopy, and ninety-six third molars were divided into eight groups to test bond strength using various adhesive systems.
- Results indicated that the control group had the highest bond strength, while laser treatments led to lower bond strengths but still maintained acceptable levels when paired with self-etching adhesives.
