CASE REPORT: New Treatment Protocol for Periodontal Pocket Treatment using a Combination of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG Lasers
نویسنده
چکیده
Laser therapy may constitute an efficient alternative to surgical treatment. Based on the research, data and experience of many practitioners, we can enumerate the potential advantages of laser therapy, such as bactericidal, detoxification and homeostatic effects and biostimulation. Laser treatment facilitates the eradication of bacteria and better wound healing [4,5]. It is also easy to use, provides good access to anatomically difficult areas and offers a comfortable treatment for patients.

Lasers in minimally invasive periodontal and peri-implant therapy.
Laser therapy has the potential to be an effective, minimally invasive procedure in periodontal therapy. The aim of the present review was to survey the relevant literature on the clinical application of lasers as a minimally invasive treatment for periodontitis and peri-implant disease. Currently, there are a large number of published clinical studies and case reports that evaluate the adjunct...
متن کاملAlveolar Bone Regeneration Using Nd:YAG Laser
The loss of alveolar bone, which is very often a consequence of long-lasting inflammation of dental tissue, usually results in loose teeth and eventually the loss of the affected teeth. Removing the causes of periodontal disease with periodontal treatment can stop further alveolar bone decay, however, the problem remains unsolved of how to fix an affected tooth that has more than half of its ro...
متن کاملGingival depigmentation with Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers: report of two cases
Pigmentation in the gingiva may cause aesthetic problems. In addition to medical therapy and conventional surgery, laser techniques have been used to treat this condition for many years. However, until now, there have been no reports of the application of an erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser combined with a neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser in gingival depigmentation....
متن کاملLasers in nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
This article reviews the current and potential applications of laser technology in nonsurgical therapy for the treatment of periodontal diseases. Based on its various characteristics, such as ablation or vaporization, hemostasis, and sterilization effect, laser treatment may serve as an adjunct or alternative to conventional, mechanical periodontal therapy. The Carbon dioxide (CO2) and the Neod...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of the effects of different photoablative laser irradiation protocols on the gingiva of periodontopathic patients.
OBJECTIVE We aimed at quantifying the presence of periodontopathogens in gingival biopsies from periodontitis patients treated with different photoablative lasers (diode GaAs, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, and CO(2) lasers) and histologically analyzing their effects on the gingiva. BACKGROUND DATA Substantial evidence indicates that intracellular location of periodontal bacteria in the gingival epithelium ...
