Dederich Cert Perio Background: Traditional methods of regenerating bone in periodontal bone defects have been partially successful and have involved numerous protocols and materials. More recently, it has been proposed that Er,Cr:YSGG laser energy may also be beneficial in the treatment of periodontal pockets, particularly in the regeneration of bone lost due to periodontal disease. Case Description: The purpose of this paper is to present a case report of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser being used to conservatively treat a recalcitrant periodontal pocket in the presence of a periodontal bone defect and that resulted in successful resolution of the pocket and significant radiographic bone fill at the 1 year recall visit. Clinical Implications: This protocol using the Er,Cr:YSGG laser for the treatment of periodontal loss of attachment and periodontal bone loss may represent a less invasive alternative than traditional open-flap periodontal surgery or the intrasulcular use of other more penetrating laser wavelengths. 2 22 2013 16 19 TODENTJ-7-16 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2012-8-8 2012-10-8 2012-11-6 2013-2-22 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601307010016 1553505441 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/7/PAGE/16/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V7/TODENTJ-7-16/TODENTJ-7-16.xml J Periodontol Wang HL 76 1601 2005 Wang HL, Greenwell H, Florellini J, et al.
