Successful Use of the Er,Cr:YSGG Laser for Gingival Depigmentation. [PDF]
The color of the gingiva is determined by the degree of vascularization, epithelial thickness, and the number of melanin pigments within the epithelium. Melanin pigmentation is caused by abnormal or increased deposition of melanin by active melanocytes located mainly in the basal and supra-basal cell layers of the oral epithelium.

The effect of Nd:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers on the microhardness of human dentin [PDF]
The current investigation determined the microhardness of dentin tissue irradiated with erbium, chromium-doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) and neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers. Thirty non-carious human molars were used in this study. Dentin disks were prepared by horizontal sectioning of one third of the occlusal

Adhesion in dentin prepared with Er,Cr:YSGG laser: Systematic review
In dentistry, cavities prepared with Erbium lasers present more advantages, compared to traditional methods, but there is still a lack of investigation about the adhesion in dentin surfaces prepared with Erbium lasers, especially with Erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser.The purpose of this systematic review was to find ...
