Abstract

Dental lasers have numerous applications for periodontal and peri-implant disease therapy which include non-surgical treatments, such as pathogen reduction, removal of surface accretions, and photobiomodulation; along with surgical procedures of soft tissue and osseous structures. A non-surgical protocol is the first approach, but surgery may follow to alleviate unresolved problems. This manuscript will describe how lasers can be utilized in this treatment.
