Laser Therapy as an Effective Method for Implant Surface Decontamination: A Histomorphometric Study in Rats

Abstract

Group aPDT showed more favorable results in parameter area of reactive tissue than the other methods after day 7, but over longer time periods all methods produced outcomes equivalent to sterile implants.

A Randomized Clinical Trial of an Adjunct Diode Laser Application for the Nonsurgical Treatment of Peri-Implantitis

“…5 In addition to conventional scaling, many adjuvant methods have also been introduced, including citric acid application, 6 air flow, 7 and laser irradiation. 8 Lasers can effortlessly irradiate the entire surface, especially in irregular and rough areas where mechanical instruments cannot easily reach. They not only eliminate bacteria but also inactivate bacterial diffused toxins.…”

Cureent Treatment Modalities for Peri-Implant Diseases.

“…The results of this histomorphometric study were then followed longitudinally, while photodynamic therapy showed some improved early (7days) results; over longer time periods (>14 days), all methods produced similar results. 9 Schwarz et al 2006 compared the efficacy of Er YAG laser with plastic currett and irrigation with 0.2% chlorhexidine Er YAG Laser. He found that both therapies-improved clinical parameters (BOP, PD CAL) at 3, 6, 12 months and Laser shows higher reduction in BOP at 12 months.…”

“…Em seguida foi aplicado o laser (TheraLase -DMC -São Carlos) com as seguintes especificações, baseadas no trabalho de Salmeron et al (2013): vermelho, 660nm, 30mW, 45J/cm², modo contínuo, aplicação por varredura por 30s.…”
