OPTIMIZATION OF GENERATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE XeCl LASER PROTOTYPE FOR ABLATION TREATMENT OF DENTAL TISSUE
Abstract
The treatment of dental enamel by UV (308 nm) radiation is made and the dependence of the ablation value of the peak power density of laser radiation at a fixed number of pulses is determined. It is established that the ablation threshold of dental enamel is about 0.3 J/cm2. It is found that at an energy density of more than 0.15 J/cm2 dental calcium is removed without dental enamel ablation.
