Peri-Implantitis Management: Are Lasers Living Up to the Hype?

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 RCTs (540 patients, 658 implants) found that non-surgical laser therapies—Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG, Nd:YAG, and diode—significantly reduced probing depth ( up to 1.23 mm ) and bleeding on probing (up to 47% ). However, they offered no clear advantage over mechanical debridement in preventing crestal bone loss. While lasers improve inflammation control, their superiority remains unproven, underscoring the need for standardized protocols and long-term outcome studies.
