Pulp Effects of Neodymium Laser: A Preliminary Report.
Abstract
A total of eight teeth from two Rhesus monkeys were exposed to various amounts of Neodymium laser radiation. The pulp response was found to be much less severe than that in a study of 19 teeth previously reported for exposure to similar amounts of ruby laser radiation. If additional studies support this initial finding, it is suggested that a reevaluation of laser mediated procedures in vital teeth be initiated.
