WHAT TO EXPECT
Sessions
Composite removal is effectively completed in a single procedure for optimal results.
Recovery
Patients can usually return to their normal activities right away. Any minor sensitivity typically resolves within a day or two.
Results
Following the procedure, the tooth is cleaned and ready for a new filling or restoration.
Composite Material Removal
This video showcases the precise ablation of composite material using Fotona® laser energy.
Dive into the Tech
Fotona® Er:YAG laser has a high affinity for water, which is a key component of composite resins. This allows it to precisely remove composite materials without damaging the surrounding tooth structure. It operates effectively in the mid-infrared spectrum (2.94 microns), which is well-suited for soft and hard tissue applications, including composite material removal.

Cavity Preparation in Permanent Teeth
Cavity preparation with lasers reduces pain and provides comfort during treatments by reducing noise and vibrations, when compared to rotary instruments, and they cut more precisely without removing healthy tooth tissue…
CASE REPORT: The Use of 2940 nm Er:YAG Laser in Cavity Preparation
The pulsed Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) has been recognized as the first choice for ablation of human hard tissues with minimal side effects. This is due to the properties of the Er:YAG laser wavelength, which provide the strongest absorption in water. The water content in enamel is lower than in dentin, which is why we use higher energy and frequency settings to remove carious enamel. Laser energy is absorbed by water molecules, rapidly heating a small volume…
