Characterization of Titanium Implant Surfaces after Nd:YAG Laser Treatment

Abstract

Current literature lacks sufficient evidence of the potential effects lasers can have on dental implant surface topography. The purpose of this in vitro study is to analyze the surface roughness (Ra) alterations to titanium disks following exposure to a neodymium doped: yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Nd:YAG) laser at clinically relevant angles (0, 10, 20 and 30) and energy values (90 J).
