Applications of Cu-HyBrID laser (copper laser with Hydrogen Bromide In Discharge) in Dentistry and AFM (atomic force microscopy) evaluations of dental tissues irradiated by laser are seldom reported in the literature. This work presents an AFM investigation of the cross-section of a cavity generated in human dental enamel by laser thermal evaporation using the Cu-HyBrID laser. The results exposed the structural and morphological differences between the fused and non-fused dental enamel, provide qualitative information about the susceptibility of these tissues to abrasive polishing, and revealed the extension of the thermal damage. Quantitative information concerning the wall thickness and the dimensions of the cross-section of non-fused enamel rod were also obtained.
