The study explored and compared the use of two high-powered erbium lasers for removing prefabricated zirconia crowns from permanent molars. Both lasers were found to be effective in crown removal, with no damage to the tooth structure observed. The Er:YAG laser showed faster removal time and lower temperature changes compared to the Er,Cr:YSGG laser.
Background. Reduced tooth structure in the pediatric and adolescent population is frequently restored with prefabricated zirconia crowns. On permanent teeth, these restorations may need to be removed and replaced with permanent restorations. Objectives. To explore and compare the use of 2 high-powered erbium lasers for removing prefabricated zirconia crowns from molar teeth as a non-invasive alternative to rotary instruments. Material and methods. Twenty-five permanent molars were prepared to dentin and prefabricated all-ceramic zirconia crowns were fitted and cemented with resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement. The teeth were randomly assigned into one of the 2 retrieval treatment groups: the erbium-doped yttrium, aluminum and garnet (Er:YAG) laser group (G1; n = 12) or the erbium, chromium-doped yttrium, scandium, gallium and garnet laser (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser group (G2; n = 13). The laser operating parameters for the Er:YAG laser were 300 mJ,15 Hz, 4.5 W, and 50-microsecond pulse duration (SSP mode); for the Er,Cr:YSGG laser, they were 4.5 W, 15 Hz, 20 water/20 air, and 5 W,15 Hz, 50 water/50 air, and 60-microsecond pulse duration (H mode). The experiment was repeated twice. The surface area and the volume of teeth and crowns were measured and the cement space was calculated. The retrieval time and temperature changes were tested and recorded. The data were analyzed with the t-test. The surfaces of the dentin and the crown from each group were further examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results. The average time for crown removal using the Er:YAG laser was 1 min 32.7 s; for the Er,Cr:YSGG laser it was 3 min 13.9 s (p < 0.0001). The mean temperature changes were 1.41 +/- 1.36 degrees C for the Er:YAG laser and 2.2 +/- 0.99 degrees C for the Er,Cr:YSGG laser (p = 0.0321). The SEM examination showed no damage or major structural changes caused by treatment with either erbium-family laser. Conclusions. Both lasers are effective, non-invasive tools to remove prefabricated zirconia crowns cemented with resin cement and should be considered as viable alternatives to rotary instrumentation.
