Er:YAG laser irradiation of sound enamel before acid challenge vs No anticaries intervention (untreated enamel)

Demineralised lesion depth · Human tooth enamel specimens, sound/intact (in vitro)

Er:YAG laser irradiation significantly reduced demineralised lesion depth versus untreated control (SMD -0.55, 95% CI -0.97 to -0.12; 3 in vitro studies, I2=62%; ungraded).
