RESUMO
This article outlines a five-year retrospective study involving a diode dental laser used on periodontally infected teeth. The present study utilized a specific protocol: scaling and root planing, light ultrasonic scaling, and the use of a diode laser. In 80% of cases, pocket depth of 3 mm or less was maintained.

The use of laser technology has helped this clinician to provide treatment with less postoperative pain and increased healing. The subperiosteal implant is a modality that has been used for several decades, although its popularity has declined in favor of endosseous dental implants. In some instances, however, it remains the treatment of choice, specifically in the atrophic mandible (where placement of endosseous implants is not possible) or when placement would increase the chances of jaw fracture. This article reports the case of a patient rehabilitated using a simplified surgical protocol involving laser surgery and stereolithography.
