Abstract. A preliminary investigation into the effects of ruby laser radiation from 4 to 40 joule dosages on the incisor teeth, the dorsal surface of the tongue and the auricular skin was carried out on 20 rats. A unique articulating arm was utilized to direct the energy conveniently to the exposed target. A crater was produced in the labial surface of the incisor, and adjacent to the crater the normal appearing enamel was replaced by a glass-like substance. Severe changes also occupied in the dental pulps, the tongues and the auricular skin. Although the possibility of the clinical application of laser in dentistry is considered to be premature for the time being, data both relevant and interesting enough to encourage further study were obtained.
