Abstract

The cervical, medium and apical thirds of the roots of nine superior permanent molars, were irradiated by CO2 laser, with simple and continuous discharges of 10 watts of energy. Afterwards, the roots were dehydrated, dryed, mounted in appropriated stubs and metalized to be examinating in a scanning electron microscope, JSM-P15, Jeol. According to our results, the cervical and medium thirds presented a low groove, smooth surface, high and well delimited borders. On the other hand, when the simple discharge was used, a low depression, of round shape, circular borders and irregular adjacent area were observed. The apical thirds of the root, after CO2 laser irradiation with simple discharge, presented a round foramen deeper than in cervical and medium thirds, smooth borders and irregular adjacent area with continuous discharge. This third showed the same characteristics ofthe cervical and medium thirds. Even in cervical, medium and apical thirds presented small projections ofvcement with various diameters in its borders.

Resumo

Os terços cervical, médio e apical das raízes de 9 molares superiores permanentes foram irradiados pelo laser CO2, com disparos simples e contínuos de intensidade 10 watts. Em seguida, as raízes foram seccionadas e desidratadas. Após a secagem, foram montadas em bases apropriadas e metalizadas para serem examinadas em um microscópio eletrônico de varredura, JSM-P15 , Jeol. Após o disparo contínuo, os terços cervical e médio apresentaram um sulco raso, de superfície lisa, margens elevadas e delimitadas, e quando foi utilizado o disparo simples, uma depressão rasa, de forma esférica, de bordas circulares de superfície lisa e compacta. O terço apical da raiz, após a irradiação pelo laser CO2 com disparo simples, apresentou um forame esférico de profundidade relativamente maior que nos terços cervical e médio, margens lisas e área adjacente irregular. Com disparo contínuo, este terço mostrou as mesmas características dos terços cervical e médio. Tanto os terços cervical, médio e apical apresentaram nas margens pequenas projeções de cemento com diâmetros variados.
