Implant Surface Temperature Changes during Er:YAG Laser Irradiation with Different Cooling Systems.

Peri-implantitis is one of the most common reasons for implant failure. Decontamination of infected implant surfaces can be achieved effectively by laser irradiation; although the associated thermal rise may cause irreversible bone damage and lead to implant loss. Temperature increments of over 10ºC...
