They documented that early surgical treatment with the use of Er:YAG laser associated with LLLT laser therapy, bisphosphonates therapy in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) is more successful, compared to the conventional therapy.5 Lasers are also sucessfully used in surgical crown lenghening. Stages of these procedure include: – Performing an incision in order to create a flap. In these cases Er:YAG LightWalker (Fotona) laser was used, with the handle H14 with Varian tip (in Case 1) and sapphire tip (in Case 2). The energy of 55 mJ, 20 Hz, power of 1.10 W with Varian tip, and 40 mJ, 10 Hz, 0.4 W using the tip intended for cutting soft tissues (contact mode). laser 1 2017 35
