The carbon dioxide laser is used in the oral cavity for a variety of procedures. Although the procedures may not involve the teeth directly, precaution should be exercised to preserve their integrity. The results of this study indicate that the most limiting parameter for oral use of the CO, laser is damage to the enamel surface, which could be inflicted with as little as 5 W for 0.2 second and a 1 mm beam.
