|---|---|---|---|
Laser enamel preparation alone (Er,Cr:YSGG or CO2 laser) vs Acid-etching (phosphoric acid) Incidence of dental caries · Caries-free children to young adults with premolars/molars requiring pit-and-fissure sealants · 24 months The clinical effects of laser preparation of tooth surfaces for fissure sealants placement: a systematic… (2019) | Karaman 2013 (Er,Cr:YSGG laser vs acid-etching): incidence of caries was 0% in both groups; not meta-analyzed. | 1 study · 16 participants | Ungraded |
Er:YAG laser preparation combined with acid-etching vs Acid-etching (phosphoric acid) alone Incidence of dental caries · Children (high caries risk) with permanent molars requiring pit-and-fissure sealants · 18 months The clinical effects of laser preparation of tooth surfaces for fissure sealants placement: a systematic… (2019) | Durmus 2017 (Er:YAG laser+acid vs acid-etching): caries incidence 10% (n=8) in the laser-plus-acid group vs 22% (n=18) in the acid-etching group at 18 months; difference not statistically significant (P > 0.05). | 1 study · 51 participants | Ungraded |
