Recent studies have demonstrated that near-infrared (IR) imaging can be used to acquire high-contrast images of root caries and calculus on the root surfaces of extracted teeth at wavelengths longer than 1450 nm. The purpose of this study was to determine if image-guided laser ablation can be used to selectively remove calculus from tooth surfaces with minimal damage to the underlying sound cementum and dentin. In this study, sequential near-IR images at 1500–1700 nm were used to guide a diode-pumped (DPSS) Er:YAG laser for the removal of calculus from the root surfaces of 10 extracted teeth. The selectivity of removal was assessed using digital microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and surface profilometry. Calculus was removed rapidly with minimal damage to the underlying sound cementum and dentin. Image-guided ablation achieved high-selectivity, the mean volume of calculus removal was more than 27 times higher than the mean loss of cementum. We have demonstrated that near-IR image-guided laser ablation can be used for the selective removal of calculus from root surfaces ex vivo. Additionally, we have demonstrated that a diode-pumped solid-state Er:YAG laser is well suited for selective removal.
