Abstract

Background and Overview: With the rise of implantology, the number of implants placed continues to grow, and in response to this, the number of complications in the short or long term, such as peri-implantitis, also increases.

Material and Methods: Based on existing literature and clinical results, this article proposes a protocol for managing implants through the use of diode and erbium-yag lasers in a progressive manner according to the therapeutic gradient.

Results: The use of lasers in a combined protocol for laser debridement and decontamination allows for optimal bone repairs without the need for biomaterials.

Conclusions and Practical Implications: Laser technology, when used within a strict protocol that respects biology, makes it possible to facilitate peri-implantitis management protocols and achieve stable results over time.
