The effect of surface roughness on the Er:YAG laser-induced photoacoustic removal of bacteria in zero-gap periodontal/peri-implant pocket model

The effect of surface roughness on the Er:YAG laser-induced photoacoustic removal of bacteria in zero-gap periodontal/peri-implant pocket model

Effective biofilm removal from periodontal and peri-implant pockets remains a challenge due to constrained geometry and limited access. This study investigates a novel phenomenon of distant-field cleaning utilizing Er:YAG laser treatment, where removal of bacteria occurs in areas without previously...
