Effectiveness of an erbium-doped: yttrium aluminum and garnet laser for treatment of peri-implant disease: Clinical microbiological and biochemical marker analyses

摘要

BackgroundThe effectiveness of an erbium-doped: yttrium, aluminum and garnet (Er: YAG) laser (EYL) for the treatment of peri-implant disease (PID) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare non-surgical EYL therapy for PID with locally delivered minocycline hydrochloride (MC) ointment therapy by evaluating clinical, microbiological, and biochemical markers.
