Resumen
The use of lasers in implantology is increasingly growing, proving to be very useful in many
clinical situations, ranging from surgical and prosthetic, to the treatment of infections in periimplant tissues. Added to this, because they have an excellent bactericidal effect and
decontamination is expected that the lasers are a promising technique for treating periimplantitis. Through a literature review, we tried to achieve, a better understanding of the
possibilities of treatments with the lasers and it´s applications in implantology, besides it´s
indications and contraindications. While not completely defined, there appears to be some
advantage in making the incision of soft tissue and hard tissue with lasers, but these
techniques need to be improved, and a greater number of studies to test this hypothesis
should be performed. The use of lasers to treat peri-implantitis is considered an important
treatment method, and efficacy has been achieved in some cases, but no significant clinical
results have been demonstrated. So a larger number of randomized controlled trials are
needed, because there is very little evidence of reliable reporting of the effectiveness of this
treatment.
