Diode laser for treatment of peri-implantitis
Introduction: Prosthetic implant rehabilitations for partial or complete edentulous patients are increasing, sometimes followed by failure due to peri-implantitis, irreversible disease characterized by tissue inflammation, bleeding, probing pocket depth ≥4 mm, bone loss, with/out purulent exudate. Therefore, there are many clinical studies about treatment possibilities. Decontamination of peri-implantitis pockets is one of diode laser applications in dentistry.
