This study was conducted to determine the effect of Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser energy dose to human enamel caries. The specifications of Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser as followed: wavelength of 1064?nm and 6?ns pulse width. Caries enamel samples taken from human teeth molars of 17-35 ages and the type of m...
