abstract = "Formation of dental cavity may be improved by using a laser beam. This provides nonmechanical contact, precise location of cavity, rapid processing and increased hygienity. Further examination of interaction mechanism is needed to improve the application of lasers in dentistry. This study examines the temperature rise and thermal stress development in the enamel during Nd YAG laser irradiation. It is found that the stresses developed in the enamel are not high enough to cause cracks in the enamel. A one dimensional transient heat transfer model was introduced to obtain temperature distribution inside enamel while temperature dependent stress analysis was carried out to develop stress distribution in the enamel.",
