Clinical evaluation of an Er:YAG laser combined with scaling and root planing for non‐surgical periodontal treatment

In conclusion, the present results have indicated that: (i) non-surgical periodontal therapy with both an Er:YAG laser + SRP and an Er:YAG laser alone may lead to significant improvements in all clinical parameters investigated, and (ii) the combined treatment Er:YAG laser + SRP did not seem to additionally improve the outcome of the therapy compared to Er:YAG laser alone.
