The linear coefficient of expansion of enamel, dentin as well as selected dental working materials is estimated by means of holographic-interferometric measurements. A good correlation was found between hard dental texture and a phosphate glass envisaged for use with lasers. The possible effects of the greatly increased coefficient of expansion of tested composites is discussed.
