Abstract
The ability of diode-pumped solid-state lasers to cure dental materials or to transmit light was compared to that of a traditional instrument. Temperature profile at the apex of an additive manufactured root canal sealed with gutta-percha, light transmission through translucent quartz fiber post or through aesthetic ceramic bracket, bending properties and morphological features of light cured dental composites (Gradia Direct - GC Corporation and Venus Diamond - Heraeus Kulzer) were measured. Results showed a very high potential of diode-pumped solid-state lasers to be used in endodontics, orthodontics and restorative dentistry.File in questo prodotto:
