 note = {P(論文), Recently, an Er : YAG laser has been developed for dental hard tissue cutting. This laser has been usually used for cavity preparation of composite resin restorations, but not for cast metal inlays, because it is difficult to create a cavity form which ensures retention form and convenience form. An experimental chisel shaped contact tip for use in cavity preparation for cast metal inlays was developed. This tip has specified irradiation energy distribution characteristic and the usefulness of this tip in inlay cavity reparation was examined. The tooth cutting efficiency was determined in extracted human and bovine teeth, and the irradiated sites were observed with SEM. The experimental tip cuts dentin as well as conventional tips while enamel cutting is poorer than with the conventional tip. It was possible to obtain flat properly inclined dentin walls in the cavity preparation. It is suggested that inlay cavity preparation is possible using the experimental chisel shaped contact tip.},
