Effects of Nd:YAG laser irradiation at different energy densities on dentin bond durability under simulated pulpal pressure

ConclusionsUnder simulated pulp pressure, Nd:YAG laser pretreatment altered the chemical composition of dentin and improved the immediate and long-term bond strength.Clinical relevanceThis study investigated the optimal parameters for Nd:YAG laser pretreatment of dentin, which has potential as a clinical method to strengthen bonding.
