| Abstrakt: | Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a 445 nm diode laser in enhancing enamel resistance to acid-induced demineralization and to investigate the associated compositional and structural modifications using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) crystallographic analysis. Methods: A total of 126 extracted human teeth were used. A total of 135 (n = 135) enamel discs (4 × 4 mm) from 90 teeth were assigned to either a laser-irradiated group or an untreated control group for SEM, ESCA, and XRD analyses. Additionally, 24 mono-rooted teeth were used to measure pulp temperature changes during laser application. Laser irradiation was performed using a 445 nm diode laser with a pulse width of 200 ms, a repetition rate of 1 Hz, power of 1.25 W, an energy density of 800 J/cm2, a power density of 3980 W/cm2, and a 200 µm activated fiber. Following acid etching, SEM was conducted to assess microstructural and ionic alterations. The ESCA was used to evaluate the Ca/P ratio, and XRD analyses were performed on enamel powders to determine changes in phase composition and crystal lattice parameters. Results: The laser protocol demonstrated thermal safety, with minimal pulp chamber temperature elevation (0.05667 ± 0.04131 °C). SEM showed that laser-treated enamel had a smoother surface morphology and reduced acid-induced erosion compared with controls. Results of the ESCA revealed no significant difference in the Ca/P ratio between groups. XRD confirmed the presence of hydroxyapatite structure in laser-treated enamel and detected an additional diffraction peak corresponding to a pyrophosphate phase, potentially enhancing acid resistance. Results of the spectral analysis showed the absence of α-TCP and β-TCP phases and a reduction in the carbonate content in the laser group. Furthermore, a significant decrease in the a-axis lattice parameter suggested lattice compaction in laser-treated enamel. Conclusions: Irradiation with a 445 nm diode laser effectively enhances enamel resistance to acid demineralization. This improvement may be attributed to chemical modifications, particularly pyrophosphate phase formation, and structural changes including prism-less enamel formation, surface fusion, and decreased permeability. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms of laser-induced enhancement of acid resistance in enamel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
