Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine dentin surface changes of extracted sound third molar specimens which were etched with 10% maleic acid and irradiated at $7-140J/cm^2$ with $CO_2$ and at $156-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser. The results were as follows. 1. Dentin surfaces etched with 10% maleic acid and then irradiated at below of $42J/cm^2$ with $CO_2$ laser showed the retentive morphology for resin restoration. 2. Dentin surfaces irradiated at below of $42J/cm^2$ with $CO_2$ laser showed the increased acid-resistance. 3. Dentin surfaces irradiated at $218-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser showed the retentive morphology. 4. Dentin surfaces irradiated at $218-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser and etched 10% maleic acid and then $218-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser showed the increased acid-resistance.
