The Erbium laser may offer a possible alternative to
the acid etching technique. With the support of laser is possible
to achieve a significant micro-porosity on the enamel that avoids
the use of conventional etching acids (such as orthophosphoric
acid, etc).
Such micro-porosity and slight roughness of the tooth surface is
produced by the effect of the micro-explosions during the
ablation phase. It consequently increases the micromechanical
retention and bonding of the composite.
