Combined Er:YAG And Nd:YAG Laser Protocol For Treatment Of Peri-Implantitis

An Evaluation Of Effectiveness Of A Combined Er:YAG And Nd:YAG Laser Protocol For Treatment Of Peri-Implantitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A laser treatment for periimplantitis using two different wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) will be compared to standard treatment in a randomized clinical trial.

The general aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of the treatment of peri-implantitis using a combination of a Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser protocol or using a conventional mechanical treatment in patients with a diagnosis of peri-implantitis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• at least one implant with peri-implantitis
• no serious mobility of the implants
• written informed consent of the voluntary participant in the study
• availability of participant for control visits for a follow-up of at least 12 months without interruptions

Exclusion Criteria:
