Clinical Trial: Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) Laser vs Conventional Ceramic Bracket Debonding: A Split-Mouth Clinical Trial

U.S., April 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07517601) titled 'Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) Laser vs Conventional Ceramic Bracket Debonding: A Split-Mouth Clinical Trial' on Feb. 24.

Brief Summary: This randomized split-mouth clinical trial evaluates enamel surface preservation, pulpal temperature variation, and patient-reported discomfort during ceramic orthodontic bracket removal using two Erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser parameter settings compared to conventional mechanical debonding. Pulpal temperature is monitored in real time using a thermocouple device. Enamel integrity is assessed using the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) under 40x magnification. The st...
