Combined laser, guided bone regeneration and probiotics approach in the treatment of periimplantitis: a case report

Biological complications which involve osseointegrated implants created up today a great interest in dentistry, and several kinds of treatments were proposed in these last years to avoid the loss of the implant due to the bone reabsorption. The aim of this case report was to show an original approach to treat periimplantitis by combining the use of Er:YAG and bone guide regeneration during the intervention, followed by a probiotics therapy in the immediate follow-up.
