AB  - Peri-implantitis is a state defined as an inflammatory reaction around osseointegrated implants.
Various treatment methods are suggested in the treatment of peri-implantitis and clinicians have to choose a
method over a large number of treatment protocols. Lasers have shown promising therapeutic effect in treatment
of peri-implantitis. The use of different lasers has also been proposed for the treatment of periodontal
and peri-implant infections. Preliminary results from both basic studies and controlled clinical trials have
pointed to a high potential of the Er:YAG laser. Irradiation with this specific wavelength seems to provide a
bactericidal effect against periodontopathic bacteria, a reduction of lipopolysaccharides and a high ability of
bacterial biofilm and calculus removal. Therefore, we aimed to review the current literature over the past 10 year
for the use of lasers in treatment of peri-implantitis and evaluate, based on the currently available evidence, the
use of an Er:YAG laser for treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis and to indicate its potential as a new
treatment modality.
