Dentine caries inhibition through CO2 laser (10.6 μm) irradiation and fluoride application, in vitro

It can be concluded that under the conditions of this study, CO2 laser irradiation (10.6 μm) with 11 J/cm2 (540 mJ and 10 Hz) of fluoride treated dentine surfaces decreases the loss of calcium and phosphorous in the demineralization process and does not cause excessive temperature increase inside the pulp chamber.
