Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) has been used extensively for chemical
characterization of mineralized tissues in the past few decades. FTIR is an ideal technique to …

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze the effects of
different concentrations and exposure times of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on dentin …

Human dentin, as an important calcified tissue in the body, plays significant roles in
withstanding masticatory forces and has a complex hierarchical organization …

Abstract Background and Objectives: The Nd: YAG laser can be used in Dentistry to remove
soft tissue, disinfect canals in endodontic procedures and prevent caries. However, there is …

The present work aimed at assessing chemical, topographical, and morphological changes
induced by Nd: YAG laser treatment of dental enamels by means of energy dispersive X-ray …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG)
laser irradiation pretreatment on the long-term bond strength of an etch-and-rinse adhesive …

We studied the absorption spectrum of intact human tooth enamel and dentine in the range
of 0.26–10 μm. We present the infrared absorption spectra of destruction products of human …

Objectives The present study examined (1) the chemical interaction between three self-
etching adhesives and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-deproteinised dentine, and (2) the …

This work evaluated the influence of ionizing and non-ionizing irradiations on the chemical
structure of hard tissues using the mid-infrared spectroscopy. Enamel, dentin and bone …

The surface morphology, structure and composition of human dentin treated with a
femtosecond infrared laser (pulse duration 500 fs, wavelength 1030 nm, fluences ranging …
