Resin bond strength to Er:YAG laser irradiated dentin has been reported to be lower than that of unlased dentin. The reasons have been much discussed, but not clarified. One hypothetical cause has been discussed that lased dentin is acid resistant, therefore, the etching effect of acid conditions decreases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acid resistance of laser-irradiated dentin and compare it with the dissolved mineral of Er:YAG laser irradiated dentin and unlased dentin. This experiment was a pilot study to assess the etching effect of pre-conditioner for resin bonding to lased dentin. Bovine dentin was irradiated by Er:YAG laser and immersed in 0.1 M lactic buffer solution (pH 4.0). The dissolved Ca and P in the solution were then both measured. Dissolved Ca from lased dentin was not significantly different from that coming from unlased dentin (p &gt; 0.05). The molar ratio of Ca/P did not differ significantly between lased and unlased dentin, either (p &gt; 0.05). Under FE-SEM view before immersion, the dentin surface was covered with a smear layer in unlased dentin, but this layer was not clearly observed in lased dentin. These results suggested that the lased dentin had little or no resistance to lactic buffer solution.
