Er:YAG激光去除全瓷冠1例报告

<正>全瓷材料因其优异的美学性能、良好的生物相容性及机械性能成为口腔领域常用的修复材料。但在临床中,不完善的牙体治疗,修复体的破损、折裂,以及患者对修复体颜色、美观不满意等原因,常导致需要拆除全瓷修复体^[1-2]。传统钻磨去粘接法耗时耗力,在拆除过程中,往往会造成医源性的牙体组织再损伤,一方面破坏了牙体组织的结构,降低了牙体组织的抗力,减少了再粘接面积;另一方面造成全瓷修复体完全的破损,失去了再利用的可能性,最终可能会影响再治疗的效果^[2-4]。因此,全瓷修复体去粘接的问题亟待解决。

Visualization of irrigant flow and cavitation induced by Er:YAG laser within a root canal model

Introduction

Laser-activated irrigation (LAI) has recently been introduced as an innovative method for root canal irrigation. However, there is limited information about the cleaning mechanism of an Er:YAG laser. In this study, we visualized the action of laser-induced bubbles and fluid flow in vitro to better understand the physical mechanisms underlying LAI.

Methods

An Er:YAG laser was equipped with a novel cone-shaped tip with a lateral emission rate of approximately 80%. Laser light was emitted at a pulse energy of 30, 50, or 70 mJ (output energy: 11, 18, or 26 mJ) and a repetition rate of 1 or 20 pulses per second, without air or water spray. Fluid flow dynamics in a root canal model were observed by using glass-bead tracers under a high-speed camera. Moreover, laser-induced bubble patterns were visualized in both free water and the root canal model.

Results

Tracers revealed high-speed motion of the fluid. A full cycle of expansion and implosion of vapor and secondary cavitation bubbles were clearly observed. In free water, the vapor bubble expanded for 220 microseconds, and its shape resembled that of an apple. In the root canal model, the vapor bubble expanded in a vertical direction along the canal wall, and bubble expansion continued for ≥700 microseconds. Furthermore, cavitation bubbles were created much more frequently in the canal model than in free water.

Conclusions

These results suggest that the cleaning mechanism of an Er:YAG laser within the root canal might depend on rapid fluid motion caused by expansion and implosion of laser-induced bubbles.     

Effect of Er:YAG laser treatment on the root canal walls of human teeth: an SEM study

Abstract— The purposes of the study were to observe the morphological changes on root canal walls after instrumentation and irrigation, and assess the efficacy of conventional cleansing procedures and the effectiveness of Er:YAG laser in removing debris and smear layer from the root canal walls. Thirty-six endodontically treated human mandibular incisor teeth with single root canals were bisected longitudinally and divided into three groups of 12 teeth. Group 1 (Gl) was left unlased as a control. The teeth of group 2 (G2) and group 3 (G3) were irradiated by Er:YAG laser (laser parameters were set at 1 W, 100 mJ/pulse and 10 Hz) for 3 s and 5 s. The teeth were prepared for scanning electron microscope study. Control specimens showed debris and heavy smear layer obscuring the dentinal tubules at all levels in the canals. The root canal walls irradiated by Er:YAG laser were free of debris, with an evaporated smear layer and open dentinal tubules. These results suggested that Er:YAG laser irradiation had an efficient cleaning effect on the prepared root canal walls.     

根管预备尺寸对Er:YAG激光消毒效果的影响

目的 比较Er:YAG激光在不同根管预备尺寸情况下的消毒效果。方法 368颗离体上颌单直根管前牙,随机分为8组,机用K3镍钛锉预备至以下尺寸: A1组和B1组（#25/0.06）、A2组和B2组（#30/0.06）、A3组和B3组（#35/0.06）、A4组和B4组（#40/0.06）。高压灭菌后,A组接种粪肠球菌,B组接种白念菌。每组冲洗方法均为Er:YAG激光+3% NaOCl,Er:YAG激光+17% EDTA,Er:YAG激光+生理盐水,然后收集各组处理后根管壁表面微生物样本,进行微生物培养和计数,采用GraphPad Prism 5.02软件包分析各组绝对残留菌落数及菌落相对残留率。结果 Er:YAG激光对粪肠球菌与白念菌的消毒效果在预备尺寸为#40/0.06最佳,#35/0.06次之。#40/0.06、#35/0.06的消毒效果与#30/0.06、#25/0.06相比,差异显著（P＜0.05）。结论 在#25/0.06～#40/0.06根管尺寸范围内,Er:YAG激光联合3% NaOCl、17% EDTA和生理盐水冲洗上颌前牙单直根管时,根管预备尺寸不应小于#30/0.06。     

Nd: YAG laser irradiation in root canal disinfection

Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser irradiation in disinfecting the root canal system. Seventy-five teeth were uniformly instrumented and sterilized, and their root canals were infected for 60 min with an overnight culture of Enterococcus faecalis in Tryptic Soy Broth. The teeth were divided into 6 groups: 1 - non-infected controls; 2 - infected controls; 3 - infected, laser treated; 4 - infected, laser dummy (dye only); 5 - infected, laser dummy (dye and air-water spray); 6 - infected, NaOCl-treated (reference group). After treatment, the root canals were dried and dentinal shavings removed for a post-treatment culture. Quantitative analysis of bacteria surviving the various treatments were performed, and the bacterial counts for each group were compared. SEM analysis of teeth split longitudinally was used to illustrate the effect of treatment on the smear layer and on surface bacteria. Nd:YAG laser irradiation (group 3) significantly reduced the number of bacteria while NaOCl irrigation (group 6) effectively disinfected the canals.     

Morphology, chemical structure and diffusion processes of root surface after Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser irradiation

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers on morphology, chemical structure and diffusion processes of the root surface. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 60 root samples were irradiated for 1 min each either with 60 mJ/p, 80 mJ/p and 100 mJ/p using Er:YAG laser or with 0.5W, 1.0W and 1.5W using Nd:YAG laser. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the morphology, infrared (IR) spectroscopy to assess the alterations in chemical structure and one dimensional electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (1-D EPRI) was used to estimate the diffusion coefficients in dental root samples. RESULTS: Er:YAG laser treatment resulted in deep crater formation with exposed dentin. Morphological alterations of root surface after Nd:YAG laser irradiation included cracks, crater formation, meltdown of the root mineral and resolidified porous globules formation. Er:YAG laser failed to alter the intensity of Amide peaks I, II or III. In contrast, treatment with Nd:YAG laser, using the highest power setting of 1.5W, reduced the intensity of Amide peak II and III in comparison to the control. The diffusion coefficients were increased significantly in all Er:YAG and Nd:YAG treated root samples. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that Er:YAG laser influences only on morphology and diffusion processes of root surfaces, while Nd:YAG laser also alters the chemical structure of root proteins.

Effect of Er:YAG laser and EDTAC on the adhesiveness to dentine of different sealers containing calcium hydroxide

AIM: To evaluate the effect of 15% EDTAC solution and Er:YAG laser irradiation on the adhesiveness to dentine of root canal sealers containing calcium hydroxide. METHODOLOGY: The crowns of 60 maxillary human molars were ground until dentine was exposed. The teeth were divided into three groups of 20 teeth: group I, the dentine surface received no treatment; group II, 15% EDTAC solution was applied to the dentine; group III, the dentine received Er:YAG laser application (11 mm focal distance with perpendicular incidence to dentine surface; 4 Hz frequency; 200 mJ energy; 2.25 W potency; 62 J total energy; 1 min application time). Aluminium cylinders filled with the sealers, Sealer 26, Apexit, Sealapex and CRCS, were then applied to the treated surfaces. Adhesiveness was measured with a universal testing machine, with traction results given in MegaPascals (MPa). These results were submitted to anova tests. RESULTS: Statistical analysis showed significant differences (P < 0.01) amongst adhesiveness values of the sealers and treatments tested. Thus, sealers could be ranked in decreasing adhesiveness values: Sealer 26, CRCS, Apexit, Sealapex. Er:YAG laser irradiation and EDTAC solution application increased adhesiveness values only for Sealer 26 and Apexit. Laser irradiation was superior to EDTAC application only for Sealer 26 adhesiveness values. CONCLUSIONS: Er:YAG laser is as efficient as EDTAC solution in increasing adhesiveness of root canal sealers containing calcium hydroxide to human dentine.
