ABSTRACT

Aim

Erbium lasers can provide effective and minimally invasive caries removal in children. The bonding phase remains a
critic step as well as the choice of material. Glass ionomers exhibits lower bonding properties in laser irradiated teeth compared to the
conventional method or to composite and resin modified glass ionomer. Laser can also provide effective decontamination and
coagulation effects in vital and non vital pulp therapy of primary teeth, improving and simplifying the cleaning and disinfecting
steps.
