Abstract
Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers, among various dental lasers, have been widely used in various dental treatments, including tooth cutting. Our department researched the application of various dental lasers in restoration from approximately 20 years ago and recently identified the Er,Cr:YSGG laser, which can efficiently cut teeth. Additionally, we have studied the improvement in tooth surface adhesion prepared using this laser, correlation between irradiation condition and efficacy of cutting, dental pulp response to tooth cutting, and so on. In this review, I primarily discuss the dental pulp response to tooth cutting with dental lasers as well as the response to laser irradiation of the exposed pulp.
