Abstract

Dynamics of human tooth enamel removal efficiency by TEM00 radiation of YAG: Er laser is investigated. The spatial−power parameters of single mode radiation of free−running YAG: Er laser able to form craters in a tooth with aspect ratio higher than 10:1 are experimentally determined.

Keywords: laser, mode structure, removal efficiency, enamel, human tooth, aspect ratio.
