Er,Cr:YSGG laser-assisted minimally invasive nonsurgical procedures to treat periodontal intrabony defects in upper molar areas

The gold standard for periodontal therapy remains nonsurgical procedures today.As the concept of "minimally invasive" is developing well,minimally invasive nonsurgical periodontal treatment has leaded to much better healing result than traditional procedures.Otherwise,the role of laser in periodontitis is getting more and more attention all over the world since laser is the tool for "minimally invasive" itself. This is a 55 y/o male without systemic disease and smoking.Er,Cr:YSGG laser-assisted minimally invasive nonsurgical procedures was performed at 26 and the bone density got improved with minimal gingival recession.
