A recent study delved into the efficacy and practicality of employing Erbium lasers for the removal of ceramic restorations and appliances from natural teeth and dental implant abutments in clinical practice. This study was published in Plos One journal by Janina G. and colleagues.
This innovative approach aimed to assess the success rates, time efficiency, and safety of using Er,Cr:YSGG and Er:YAG lasers in diverse clinical scenarios. A retrospective analysis encompassing 29 clinical cases with a total of 52 abutments was conducted. Various factors, including prosthetic type and material, cement type, laser settings, retrieval time, and success, were meticulously evaluated.
