A new, highly accurate and repeatable methodology based on the principle of optical triangulation to measure ablation rates in hard dental tissues is introduced. Using this methodology, a comparison is made between the two leading laser wavelengths for hard tissue procedures in dentistry, Er:YAG (Fidelis Plus III, Fotona) and Er,Cr:YSGG (Waterlase MD, Biolase). In-vitro measurements […]
