A phantom-head model was used to quantify post-treatment residual dye coverage after erythritol air-flowing, sodium bicarbonate air-polishing, or nickel-titanium brush instrumentation in two peri-implant defect configurations. All protocols left residual dye. Erythritol left greater implant-level residual coverage than the other two protocols in both Class 1A and Class 1B defects.

Mechanical Debridement of Dental Implant Surfaces: Residual Dye Coverage and Qualitative Surface Morphology in a Phantom-Head In Vitro Model

Mechanical debridement of implant surfaces is limited by implant geometry and defect-related access restrictions. This study evaluated post-treatment ...

This protocol describes a standardized in vitro method for evaluating thermal and surface effects on titanium during Er,Cr:YSGG, and diode laser irradiation using manufacturer-recommended soft-tissue cutting settings. Direct contact thermometry and multimodal surface analysis provide a reproducible workflow for characterizing wavelength-dependent laser titanium interactions.

In Vitro Method for Assessing Laser Titanium Interactions Using Er,Cr:YSGG and Diode Lasers

This study presents a standardized in vitro protocol to evaluate the thermal response and surface alterations of titanium during Er,Cr:YSGG and diode ...

In this study, Er,Cr:YSGG and diode lasers applied separately to the flat surface of a total of 96 specially designed titanium cylinders. A thermocouple placed on the other surface and the temperature was measured. Surface roughness analyzed by profilometer, SEM and AFM.
