Abstract
The aim
The present study aims to conduct a descriptive analysis by reviewing in vivo and in vitro studies concerned with the antibacterial effect of Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) and their effects on implant surfaces at different parameters for peri-implantitis treatment.
Materials and methods
The PubMed and Google Scholar had been used to search for articles focused on the antibacterial effect of Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) in the treatment of peri-implantitis and their effects on implant surfaces. This literature search was limited to 10 years (January 2007–March 2017).
Results
The safe settings of Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) which may be used as an antibacterial effect without surface alteration or increase of temperature in the treatment of peri-implantitis are 100 mJ/pulse, 1 W, 10 Hz, and 12.74 J/cm2 for 60 s.
Conclusion
A consideration should be taken when Er:YAG laser 2940 nm wavelength is used to avoid a negative thermal and characteristic effect on the implant surfaces, where the favorable settings which can be used in the treatment of peri-implantitis are 100 mJ/pulse, 1 W, 10 Hz, and 12.74 J/cm2 for 60 s.
