Summary: The study investigated the tensile bond strength, surface morphology, and wettability of reinforced glass-ceramic etched with high power lasers at different protocols and luted to human dentin. Results showed that Er:YAG laser surface etching demonstrated promising results for lithium disilicate, with higher bond strength compared to other tested groups.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different powers of Er:YAG laser on the shear bond strength of repaired CAD/CAM resin-based composite materials. The results showed that increasing laser power can improve the bond strength, with the 3 W laser treatment leading to adhesive failure. Additionally, the 3 W laser treatment resulted in smoother surfaces compared to other laser treatments.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength of resin composite and porcelain laminate veneers in the indirect repair and direct repair methods for porcelain veneer fracture cases of zirconia-based fixed dental prostheses. The results showed that the bond strength of the indirect repairs made with laminate material was higher than that of the direct repairs made with composite. The adhesive failure was mostly seen in the groups repaired with the composite.

Summary: The study suggests that zirconia repair could be a feasible alternative to total replacement in fractured zirconia restorations. Sandblasting zirconia and repairing with FGC powder resulted in the highest bond strength, outperforming other surface treatments. Testing different materials, sandblasting zirconia with FGC powder showed the best performance.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of erbium: yttrium: aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser on enamel re-bonding properties, showing that laser treatment can provide stronger re-bonding strength compared to traditional grinding methods. Enamel re-bonding strength was higher after acid-etching, especially significantly stronger after 5 Hz Er:YAG laser irradiation. Er:YAG laser therapy could be considered as an alternative to conventional grinding in clinical enamel re-bonding therapy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combined treatment with Er:YAG and long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers compared to Er:YAG laser alone for the treatment of recalcitrant warts after one session. The results showed that the clearance rate was significantly higher in the combined laser treatment group compared to the Er:YAG laser group.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate the influence of different Er:YAG laser energies on dentin surface morphology and dentin-resin bond strength. It was found that laser conditioning effectively removes the smear layer and improves bond strength, but further acid etching is required to enhance the bond strength.

Summary: This study evaluated the microshear bond strength of a resin cement to Y-TZP after incorporating TiO2 nanotubes using different methods. Application of nTiO(2) mixed with isopropyl alcohol under high-pressure vacuum produced comparable bond strengths to conventional methods like air abrasion and silicatization without the need for sandblasting.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of ceramic discs luted to differently etched enamel and dentin surfaces. It found that double etching of dentin with Er:YAG laser can improve adhesion. Laser etching appears to be a viable alternative to acid etching on both enamel and dentin surfaces.

Summary: The study found that Er:YAG laser treatment on titanium and zirconia implant surfaces did not significantly impact surface roughness, elemental material weight, or early biofilm formation in the oral cavity. Despite visual surface alterations, there were no significant differences in biofilm formation between laser-treated and untreated groups of both titanium and zirconia discs.
