What is Effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation on human dentin: Polarizing microscopic, light microscopic and microradiographic observations, and FT-IR analysis about?
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation on dentin have not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation on dentin. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods After cavities were prepared using Er:YAG laser irradiation or rotary cutting instruments, histological observations of cavity‐floor dentin utilizing polarizing microscopy, microradiography and light microscopy, and analysis of composition of cavity‐floor dentin using Fourier‐transformed (FT‐IR) spectrometry were conducted. ## Results In the laser‐treated side, a deeply stained basophilic layer was observed. The number of odontoblastic processes present was obviously less in the laser‐treated side than in the bur‐treated side. FT‐IR analysis revealed that compared to the bur‐treated side, a broad background peak at around 1,600 cm^−1^ was present. ## Conclusions Er:YAG laser irradiation might have denatured the organic materials of dentin.
