Lasers have been used for many years in oral surgery and implant dentistry. In some indications, laser treatment has become state of the art as compared to conventional techniques. This article is a comprehensive review of new laser applications in oral surgery and implant dentistry. One of the most interesting developments over the last years was the introduction of the 9.6-μm CO2 laser. It has been shown in the recent literature that the use of this new device can preserve tissue with almost…

Uses of Laser in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Because of their many advantages, lasers have become indispensable in OMS as a modality for soft tissue surgery, and the advent of new wavelengths will undoubtedly lead to new procedures that can be performed with them.

The erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser has emerged as a possible alternative to conventional methods of bone ablation because of its wavelength of 2.94 μm, which coincides with the…

Using of Diode Laser (940 nm) in Orofacial Region

Diode laser (940 nm) can be used in oral and facial soft tissue surgery because of easy application, better coagulation, no need for suturing, less swelling and pain, as well as for its capability for treatment of physiologic gingival pigmentation.

In vitro biological outcome of laser application for modification or processing of titanium dental implants

It seems that laser radiation plays a vital role in cell response to dental implants; however, it is necessary to accomplish more studies using different laser types and parameters on various cells to offer a more conclusive result.

Different laser wavelengths comparison in the second-stage implant surgery: an ex vivo study

This ex vivo study showed that laser utilization with the recommended parameters gives no risks of dangerous thermal elevation to the tissues and implants.

DIODE LASER APPLICATION IN SOFT TISSUE ORAL SURGERY (CASE REPORT)

The diode laser can be used as a modality for oral soft tissue surgery and provides relatively bloodless surgical and post surgical courses with minimal swelling and scarring.

Diode laser application in soft tissue oral surgery.

The diode laser can be used as a modality for oral soft tissue surgery and provides relatively bloodless surgical and post surgical courses with minimal swelling and scarring.

The application of diode laser in the treatment of oral soft tissues lesions. A literature review

The diode laser can be used with very good results for the removal of lesions in soft tissues, being used in small exophytic lesions due to their easy application, adequate coagulation, no need to suture and the slightest inflammation and pain.

The diode laser as an electrosurgery replacement

In 2008, Dr. Gordon Christensen wrote an article in JADA comparing the soft tissue cutting abilities of diode lasers to those of electrosurgery (radiosurgery) units, and found that both dental lasers and the less expensive electrosURgery units have advantages and disadvantages.

Low energy KTP laser in oral soft tissues surgery: A 52 patients clinical study

KTP laser with low parameters permits to perform oral surgery with good pain control and good wound healing and a greater number of clinical cases are however necessary to confirm the result obtained.

Peri-implant care of ailing implants with the carbon dioxide laser.

The hypothesis that peri-implant defects can be treated successfully by laser decontamination without damaging the surrounding tissues in the dog model is supported and further investigations will be required to determine the clinical efficacy of the treatment.

[Tissue damage and regeneration after laser surgery using different scanning systems].

Compared to the defocused laser ablation, both scanning systems seem to have benefits within these parameters, but the Silktouch scanner clinically showed a homogeneous ablation rate with less carbonization than the Swiftlase scanner.

Surface properties of endosseous dental implants after NdYAG and CO2 laser treatment at various energies.

Effects of diode and Nd:YAG laser irradiation on titanium discs: a scanning electron microscope examination.

It was concluded that the diode laser (980 nm) does not damage titanium surfaces, which should be of value when uncovering submerged implants and treating peri-implantitis.

Clinical evaluation of an Er:YAG laser for nonsurgical treatment of peri-implantitis: a pilot study.

It was concluded that at 6 months following treatment both therapies led to significant improvements of the investigated clinical parameters, and ERL resulted in a statistically significant higher reduction of BOP than C.

Conventional Versus Laser‐Assisted Therapy of Periimplantitis: A Five‐Year Comparative Study

It is thought that integrating diode laser light decontamination in the approved treatment schemes for periimplantitis and parodontitis contributes considerably to the success of this therapy.

Lethal photosensitization, autogenous bone, and e-PTFE membrane for the treatment of peri-implantitis: preliminary results.

The short-term results of this study corroborate the efficacy of the applied treatment method in prolonging the service time of dental implants involved with peri-implantitis.

Influence of different treatment approaches on non-submerged and submerged healing of ligature induced peri-implantitis lesions: an experimental study in dogs.

It was concluded that (i) OS improved the outcome of treatment in comparison with CNS and (ii) ERL seemed to be more suitable to promote re-osseointegration than PCM and VUS.
