[Impact of Er, Cr: YSGG-laser on the tooth root cement in the treatment of chronic periodontal disease (the results of electron microscopic studies)].
Ten teeth removed because of periodontal disease were irradiated by Er, Cr: YSGG laser (power 1W and 1,5W). Scanning electron microscopy showed the 10-second exposure of the laser beam to remove the tartar from the surface of the tooth root, as well as "smear" layer and infected cement, exposing the dentine tubules and influencing the collagen fibers, forming a rough surface of the tooth root. These data suggest the effectiveness of Er, Cr: YSGG-laser in the treatment of tooth root cement surface by periodontal disease. Er, Cr: YSGG-laser with a power of 1 and 1,5 W can be used as an adjunctive treatment mode by periodontal therapy.
