Overview

Brief Summary

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by mixed infections with the subgingival microbiota being organized as a biofilm that, if untreated, may result in breakdown of the periodontal tissues in susceptible individuals. Evidence from intervention studies shows that mechanical root debridement significantly improves periodontal health by halting the progression of periodontal tissue breakdown. In order to improve effectiveness and efficacy of the removal of the subgingival biofilm, Er:YAG laser therapy has recently been recommended as an alternative to conventional scaling procedures.
