Laser therapy for peri-implantitis

图片
  It is well known that the popularity of  oral implants  is increasing every year as people's living standards improve. The number of patients with peri-implantitis has increased rapidly in recent years due to the treatment conditions and the lack of awareness of patient protection at a later stage. If peri-implantitis is not treated promptly and effectively, it can lead to the loss of the implant. Peri-implant  infections have a similar etiology to periodontal infections, so is the treatment similar? Conventional treatment options for peri-implantitis without flap reversal have a poor chance of success. When we treat peri-implantitis after flap treatment, the outcome is much better. Although the flap allows better access to the implant, the sterilisation of the implant surface is much more complex than with normal subgingival scraping. The complex structure of the implant surface, although a good facilitator of bonding during implantation, is a headache trap for pe...

Applications of Low-Level laser therapy in dental practice

  Low level lasers, cold or soft lasers: These lasers do not produce thermal effects on tissues and induce photoreactions in cells through light stimulation which is called photobiostimulation. Power of these lasers is usually under 250mW. The main point differentiating low level lasers and high power ones is the activation of photochemical reactions without heat formation. The most important factor to achieve this light characteristic in lasers is not their power, but their power density for each surfa ceunit (i.e cm2). Density lower than 670mW/cm2, can induce the stimulatory effects of low level lasers without thermal effects. Low level lasers (therapeutic) used today as treatment adjunctive devices in medicine and dentistry. Numerous studies have been performed on the applications of low level lasers in patient pain reduction. Mechanisms of pain reduction with therapeutic lasers and their application are expressed, and the studies realized in this field are presented.  Some...

How do implant doctors use dental laser effectively?

  In the field of oral implantology and its surgical procedures, the   dental laser   offers numerous advantages over conventional tools. In particular, the bactericidal and cutting properties of the dental laser allow the implant surgeon to treat in a more flexible, efficient, minimally invasive, and rapid manner and to meet the patient's requirements for a rapid post-operative recovery and reduced pain. Continuous and stable soft tissue support is necessary for the long-term success of the implant. The main aim is to improve the condition of the soft tissue around the implant, which includes: labiaplasty, gingivoplasty and gingival mucosal surgery. The main advantages of the oral laser in these procedures are:     ● The precise and detailed surgical cutting     ● Intraoperative hemostasis for better visualization     ● Bacterial killing in the surgical area     ● Reduces post-operative edema and scar tissue In the t...
