title: [Examination of laser-treated tooth surfaces after exposure to acid].
abstract: In principle it is possible to homogenize the enamel surface by melting structural elements with the continuous wave CO2 laser. An experimental caries model was used for testing the acid resistance of the laser exposed tooth surfaces. Laser-treatment and measured exposure to acid produced zones of homogeneous smelting with microcracks and disintegration symptoms. Underneath the melted region the heat leakage obviously causes photo-thermic++ effects determined by increased resistance to acid.
