A review on laser-assisted veneer debonding.
Review in Lasers in medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This literature review examines the advancements in laser technology that have enhanced the veneer debonding process, offering insights into the proper implementation of these techniques in clinical practice with emphasis on laser parameters, debonding efficiency, thermal effects, and preservation of tooth structure. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed,Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library. The review was structured according to the PICO framework. The search was performed independently by two reviewers on laser-assisted debonding of ceramic veneers using Er:YAG or Er,Cr:YSGG lasers.Based on a comprehensive evaluation of existing studies, the review presents different types of prosthetic restorations, materials, and laser parameters, and how they interact with each other. The benefits of laser precision, including improved control, workflow efficiency, fewer procedural steps, and reduced tissue impact, are emphasised to help dental practitioners enhance the standard of care in veneer debonding. Across the twenty nine studies that were obtained, laser debonding facilitated removal while pulpal temperature increases remained below commonly cited critical values. Both Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG systems demonstrated effective veneer removal. Thinner veneers nedeed less irradiation time and lower energy. Limited enamel alterations occured when appropriate parameters were used. Current studies suggest that Er:YAG and Er, Cr: YSGG lasers offer clinical advantages in terms of efficiency, safety, and patient comfort. Studies demonstrate that optimized laser settings reduce debonding time and minimize the risk of thermal damage to underlying tooth structure and surrounding tissues. Debonding efficiency was influenced by veneer thickness, ceramic type, cement composition, laser power, pulse duration and cooling protocols Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers are promising tools for ceramic veneer debonding. However, results obtained in these studies cannot be directly associated to patient-centered issuses, further standardized clinical studies are required before definitive clinical recommendations can be made.
