  • Title: Combined effect of carbon-dioxide laser and neutral 2% NaF on acid resistance of human tooth enamel.
    Author: Kakade A, Damle SG, Bhavsar JP, Chatterjee V, Deb P.
    Journal: J Indian Soc Pedod Prev Dent; 1996 Mar; 14(1):26-30. PubMed ID: 9522752.
    Abstract:
    Specimens of human enamel were treated topically with 2% sodium fluoride solution before and after laser irradiation. The samples were examined using wet chemical analysis and SEM. The results showed that samples treated with neutral 2% NaF after irradiation caused a remarkable increase in acid resistance of the enamel, while samples treated with neutral 2% NaF before irradiation showed a lesser effect. The results were consistent with observations made by using wet chemical analysis and SEM findings.
