Combined use of erbium (Er: YAG) and neodymium (Nd: YAG) lasers at the surgical stage of chronic periodontitis treatment

Abstract

Use of various types of lasers, allowing for creation of the best conditions for postoperative wound healing and improvement of conditions for bone regeneration. The aim of the study is to increase effectiveness of complex treatment of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis by using lasers (Er: YAG (erbium) with wavelength of 2940 nm and Nd: YAG (neodymium) with wavelength of 1064 nm) at the surgical stage. The results of our own observations have shown that the developed method of surgical treatment of generalized periodontitis with the use of Er: YAG (erbium with wavelength of 2940 nm) and Nd: YAG (neodymium with wavelength of 1064 nm) was effective.
