A Comparative Study on the Effect of Peri-Implant Infection Management Lasers (1064-nm Q-Switch Nd:YAG, 1064-nm Nd:YAG and 980-nm Diode) on Titanium Grade 4 Surface

Over the past 10 years, number of dental implants has grown significantly. This increase consequently led to an elevation statistics related cases peri-implantitis. Laser therapy conquered a place among therapies excellence treat However, laser device used could influence therapy’s success. The aim this comparative experimental work was highlight differences in on grade 4 titanium surfaces most commonly lights field, taking into consideration any structural damage that lasers cause implant surfaces. examined were 980 nm diode laser; 1064 Nd:YAG and new generation Q-switch nano pulsed laser. We evaluated temperature increase, pre- post-treatment two-dimensional surface appearance observed under scanning electron microscope; finally, three-dimensional topographic analysis assessed using atomic force microscopy. showed 1064-nm nanosecond appears be more suitable for preservation morphology because absence induction metal damage.
