ABSTRACT: Lasers play a significant role in periodontics, with applications ranging from calculus removal to soft tissue excision, incision, and ablation. They are also employed for decontaminating root and implant surfaces, promoting biostimulation, reducing bacterial load, and performing osseous surgery. Their use offers a promising alternative by enabling the simultaneous removal of diseased tissues, targeting pathogenic microorganisms, and enhancing wound healing. This review explores the integration of lasers into dental practice and periodontics, highlighting their benefits, limitations, and potential risks in the management of peri - implantitis.
