“…Four-year follow-up results showed significantly reduced BOP, plaque index, and attachment loss among implants in the control group compared to the Er:YAG laser-treated group (Schwarz et al, 2013). One explanation for this discrepancy may be that the use of laser equipment is technique-sensitive and influenced by the operator’s level of experience (Lustosa-Pereira et al, 2011).…”

We reviewed the indexed literature regarding the efficacy of laser therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis (PI). Databases were searched using combinations of the following keywords: peri-implantitis, bone loss, photodynamic therapy, laser, and light-activated disinfection. Titles and abstracts of publications from these search results were screened to determine which studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Full texts of relevant studies were read and independently assessed against the eligibility criteria. The resulting 28 studies described the role of lasers in the treatment of PI. The erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser can be used to sterilize implant surfaces without damaging them. Likewise, the carbon dioxide laser can disinfect implant surfaces and enhance the bone-to-implant contact around previously infected sites. Photodynamic therapy exhibits high target specificity and can destroy pathogens associated with the etiology of PI. Laser therapy can significantly reduce levels of clinical markers of peri-implant tissue inflammation (i.e., bleeding upon probing and clinical attachment loss) without jeopardizing the integrity of the implant or alveolar bone. In conclusion, laser therapy as an adjunct to conventional mechanical debridement therapy can be used effectively for the treatment of PI.

“…Some authors find no difference in permeability between roots resected with burs or lasers. Different power modes 6 , especially higher 400 mJ 8,9 , lead to different dentin sealing ability, different methylene blue permeability, irrespective of retrograde cavity materials like mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), super ethoxy benzoic acid (SuperEBA), intermediate restorative material (IRM). Results are better, compared to retrograde cavities prepared with ultrasonic tips.…”

“…It leads to lower clinical survival. 1 Lasers may enhance periapical surgery 2,3 and periodontal therapy 4 , by requiring less tools, 5 less time, providing surgical field disinfection, sealing of tubules 1,[6][7][8][9][10] , enhanced bone healing, and a shorter recovery period. [11][12][13] We present a case with a periapical cyst and multiple infarossal defects simultaneously treated with erbium doped yttrium aluminium garnet-Er:YAG laser.…”

Periodontally affected teeth with periapical lesion indicated for periapical surgery have a poor prognosis. Using Er:YAG lasers to perform simultaneous surgery on both defects may increase their survival rate. Preparing a retrograde cavity on affected teeth and obturating it is still a matter of debate among clinicians. The purpose of this case report was to describe the simultaneous use of Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet Er:YAG (2,940 nm) laser in the treatment of periapical granuloma and infraossal defect and the achieved results. The Er:YAG laser was used to perform flap dissection, granulation tissue removal, osteotomy and root-end resection except for initial flap incision and reflection. The cystic cavity was filled with Bio-Oss Collagen® xenograft. Results were followed up for 18 months with the help of radiographic orthopantomographic images. The outcome of this clinical case indicates that the use of Er:YAG laser could be considered a suitable method to perform simultaneous periodontal and endodontic surgery.

Background:Root-end resection followed by retrofilling is one of the prime requisites to avoid apical microleakage.Aim:It comparatively evaluated the microleakage after root-end resection by erbium, chromium:yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet laser and carbide bur with or without placement of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).Materials and Methods:In this study, 60 maxillary central incisors were decoronated and biomechanically prepared. Out of 60 samples, 48 were included in the experimental group while the rest 12 were in the control group. The samples in the experimental group were obturated, whereas the samples in the control group were not obturated. The experimental group samples were divided into two: one group resected with the laser and the other half resected with carbide bur. These groups were further subdivided into two – one group retrofilled with MTA and the other half without MTA. The control group had both laser- and carbide bur-resected samples with positive and negative controls. All the samples were dyed, decalcified, and cleared. Digital photograph of each sample was taken, and the area of dye penetration was measured with the help of ImageJ software.Statistical Analysis:Analysis of variance and Tukey's test were done.Results:The highest microleakage was seen in carbide without MTA and the least was seen with laser with MTA.Conclusion:Laser-resected MTA-retrofilled samples showed minimum leakage.
