“…The first commercially available lasers were suitable for soft tissue treatments, especially in periodontics. 7 However, when these lasers were applied to dental hard tissues, the result was major thermal damage, rendering these lasers unsuitable for hard tissue treatments. The development of the erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser and, more recently, the erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser permit ablation in both soft and hard tissues without any thermal side effects.…”

Objective: To test the shear bond strength, surface characteristics, and fracture mode of brackets that are bonded to enamel etched with an erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser operated at different power outputs: 0.5 W, 1 W, and 2 W. Materials and Methods: Human premolars that had been extracted for orthodontic purposes were used. Enamel was etched with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser system operated at one of three power outputs or with orthophosphoric acid. Results: The shear bond strength associated with the 0.5-W laser irradiation was significantly less than the strengths obtained with the other irradiations. Both the 1-W and 2-W laser irradiations were capable of etching enamel in the same manner. This finding was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy examination. The evaluation of adhesive-remnant-index scores demonstrated no statistically significant difference in bond failure site among the groups, except for the 0.5-W laser-etched group. Generally, more adhesive was left on the enamel surface with laser irradiation than with acid etching. Conclusion:The mean shear bond strength and enamel surface etching obtained with an Er,Cr: YSGG laser (operated at 1 W or 2 W for 15 seconds) is comparable to that obtained with acid etching.

“…13 In recent decades, considerable attention has focused on the use of lasers (diode, erbium:yttriumaluminum-garnet, neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet, carbon dioxide, and erbium,chromium-doped yttriumscandium-gallium-garnet lasers of varying wavelengths) as adjunct management approaches to enhance nonsurgical periodontal treatment, as they offer a less invasive surgical approach. [14][15][16][17][18][19] The diode laser has been used for gingivectomy procedures and involved the removal of gingival soft tissues only. Evidence of the effectiveness of lasers as an adjunct measure to nonsurgical periodontal treatment in the management of gingival enlargement among patients receiving FOAT remains uncertain.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser gingivectomy as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal treatment in the management of periodontal health among patients receiving fixed orthodontic appliance therapy (FOAT). Materials and Methods: Thirty patients undergoing FOAT with gingival enlargement were block randomized into two treatment groups. The test group received diode laser gingivectomy (940-nm diode laser, ezlase, Biolase Technology Inc) as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal treatment. The control group received nonsurgical periodontal treatment only. For both groups, five periodontal parameters were assessed at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months: Plaque Index, Gingival Index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and Gingival Overgrowth Index. Intra- and intergroup variations in the periodontal parameters were determined over time. Results: Both groups showed statistically significant improvements in periodontal health over the study period (P < .05). However, significant improvements in periodontal health were evident earlier among the test group subjects (P < .05). The magnitude of improvement in periodontal health compared to baseline was greater in the test group than in the control group for Gingival Overgrowth Index at 1 month (P < .001) and 3 months (P < .05), Gingival Index at 3 months (P < .05) and 6 months (P < .05), and probing pocket depth at 1 month (P < .05). Conclusions: Nonsurgical periodontal management with or without the adjunct use of lasers can be effective in the management of gingival health problems among patients receiving FOAT. The adjunctive use of lasers can produce an earlier and greater improvement in gingival health.

“…Daha sonra geliştirilen laserlerle bu sorun aşıldı. Başlangıçta ortaya çıkan sorunlar çözümlendikten sonra hastaya diğer enstrümanlara oranla daha az rahatsızlık verir bir hale getirildi, üstelik mikroorganizmalar üzerinde konvansiyonel yöntemler-den daha fazla etkili olduğu da gösterildi 21,22 . Son zamanlarda erbium katkılı itriyum alümin-yum garnet laser (Er:YAG) ile çok daha olumlu sonuçlar alınmıştır.…”

“…Son zamanlarda erbium katkılı itriyum alümin-yum garnet laser (Er:YAG) ile çok daha olumlu sonuçlar alınmıştır. Subgingival diştaşları ablete edilerek uzaklaştırılmakta, periopatojen bakteriler elimine edilmekte, hatta sement yüzeyindeki lipopolisakkarit yapısındaki endotoksinler de inaktive edilmektedir [22][23][24][25][26] . El aletleriyle ve laser ile yapılan SRP işlemleri karşılaştı-rıldığında; laserin kök yüzeyini daha fazla pürüzlen-dirdiği, geride hiç smear tabakası bırakılmadığı, kan komponentlerinin ve fibroblastların yüzeye adezyonunu kolaylaştırdığı ve böylece rejeneratif tedaviyi kolaylaştırdığı gösterilmiştir [24][25] .…”
