  ABSTRACT: The indications of lasers in dentistry are numerous. The aim of this review is to compare the adhesion to cavities prepared with Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers with conventional techniques (rotary bur) and consequently highlight the most appropriate adhesion protocol(s) to cavities prepared by either technique. A literature search was conducted in three databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. For outcomes, the morphological changes of the dental surfaces following laser irradiation are multiple: absence of dentinal sludge, open dentinal tubules, abundant peri-tubular dentin and exposed enamel crystals. Bonding to this dental substrate can be achieved using various adhesive systems. The chemical treatment of laser-prepared dental surfaces is a subject that still requires more precise and further studies are needed to establish universal protocols and recommendations of good practice.
