Lasers in nonsurgical periodontal therapy

Effect of Er:YAG Laser Combined With rhPDGF‐BB on Attachment of Cultured Fibroblasts to Periodontally Involved Root Surfaces

“…These alterations in lased root surfaces seemed to be responsible for reductions in fibroblast cell attachment in these specimens. This supports the findings of Aoki et al, 12 who reported that the microstructurally and thermally changed root surface produced by Er:YAG laser irradiation may influence the attachment of soft periodontal tissues. Both Benthin et al 25 and Aoki et al 12 reported that Er:YAG laser irradiation on the root surfaces may result in decreased cell attachment on treated surfaces compared to mechanically prepared surfaces.…”

However, Aoki et al 12 used intact root surfaces, whereas Benthin et al 25 used erbium‐doped:yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er:YSGG) laser irradiation.…”

Morphological and Chemical Alterations of Root Surface after Er:YAG laser, Nd:YAG Laser Irradiation: A Scanning Electron Microscopic and Infrared Spectroscopy Study

“…These morphological alterations are in line with Wilder-Smith and Arrastia’s[ 11 ] study. Specimens treated with higher energy density (1058.33 J/cm 2 ) showed both exposure of dentinal tubules in peripheral areas and closure with resolidified mineral in central area, which are in accordance with Koichi et al ’s[ 12 ] study.…”

Adjunctive Nd:YAG laser irradiation in the treatment of stage III/IV periodontitis: a 12-month, randomized, controlled trial

“…With respect to patient-reported outcomes as analysed from the questionnaires, the patients in Laser 1 group, received a signi cantly elevated number of analgesics, as compared to those in Laser 2 and FMS groups. A possible explanation lies behind the increased power output compared to Laser 2 group or to thermal damage at the surrounding tissues [43]. This observation corresponds with previous ndings [39,47] referring to a more pronounced post-operative pain in a group of patients that received combined SRP/Nd:YAG laser treatment, which according to the authors [47] was directly associated with receiving more analgesics, on day one after laser irradiation.…”
