Microbiologic Results After Non‐Surgical Erbium‐Doped:Yttrium, Aluminum, and Garnet Laser or Air‐Abrasive Treatment of Peri‐Implantitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract

At 1 month, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and S. anaerobius were reduced in the air-abrasive group, and Fusobacterium spp. were reduced in the laser group. Six-month data demonstrated that both methods failed to reduce bacterial counts. Clinical improvements were limited.
