Use of Er: YAG laser and self-adhesive composite for decayed deciduous teeth treatment
The Er: YAG laser cavity preparation with self-adhesive flowable composite to conventional rotary preparation with adhesive protocols in 120 primary molars is of interest. Group A showed longer preparation time but better patient cooperation and less anesthetic use. Restoration outcomes at 12 months were comparable in retention, marginal adaptation and secondary caries. Thus, Er: YAG laser approach offers a child-friendly alternative with clinical efficacy.
