    Author: Liu H, Yan MM, Zhao EY, Chen L, Liu HW.
    Journal: Chin J Dent Res; 2000 Dec; 3(4):63-5. PubMed ID: 11314092.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Nd: YAG laser irradiation on the canine tooth pulps. METHODS: The crown pulp of dog was exposed and excised by ND: YAG laser irradiation. Histopathological examination was used to check changes of the tissues in root canal and periodontium. RESULTS: The pulp of the crown could be successfully excised by Nd: YAG laser without harmful changes in either root canal or periodontal tissues. CONCLUSION: This study may provide an experimental basis for the clinical possibility of crown pulp excision by using Nd: YAG laser irradiation.
