  abstract: Dental research involving lasers began in 1964 with the
  abstract: application of the ruby laser on hard dental tissue. Since
  abstract: then, various lasers have been studied as possible
  abstract: alternatives to the conventional drill in selected
  abstract: procedures. However, the most success with dental lasers
  abstract: has occurred in the soft tissue area. Several soft tissue
  abstract: lasers currently have Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  abstract: approval for clinical use. Dental hard tissue applications
  abstract: have not had the success originally expected after the onset
  abstract: of the ruby laser experiments. This study shows the
  abstract: feasibility of drilling tooth enamel with a unique
  abstract: combination of a dye and a laser (alexandrite) in the
  abstract: visible to near IR range. The dye acts as a photoabsorber,
  abstract: enhancing the absorptive characteristics of tooth enamel at
  abstract: the wavelength of the chosen alexandrite laser. Mechanical
  abstract: and physical properties were used as a measure of
  abstract: feasibility. The data indicate that this "optical drilling"
  abstract: with the laser-dye combination is definitely feasible, with
  abstract: results similar to that of the conventional dental drill.
  abstract: The results from this study indicate that future testing of
  abstract: this dye-laser combination for tooth drilling is both
  abstract: necessary and important in the development of a dye-laser
  abstract: handpiece for the clinician's office.
