Immediate Implant Placement Into Infected Sites: Bacterial Studies of the Hydroacoustic Effects of the YSGG Laser

Abstract: This article describes the use of an erbium laser to use photoacoustics to reduce the bacteria in osteotomy sites that were infected by apical pathology. The author shows reduced bacterial counts by performing bacterial cultures following laser treatment. Swabs were taken after the extraction of the tooth and then after the laser was placed into the osteotomy site. The results showed a noticeable reduction of bacteria and no traces of virulent bacteria.

“…Implants were placed and cases were evaluated at six-month follow-up. Using pre-and postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), data were collected [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The result reflects and confirms the hypothesis that endosteal implants can be successfully integrated in infected sites.…”

“…The difference between the control group and the group with periapical radiolucencies was not statistically significant. Kusek immediately placed 10 implants into sockets after extraction of teeth having root fractures, failed apicoectomy, incomplete root canal fill, and internal resorption. The results showed a noticeable reduction of bacteria in the extraction sites after the use, just before the implant placement, of an erbium laser to reduce the bacteria in the sockets.…”
