Recently, the needs and seeds for laser application in periodontal therapy have been increasing. Due to various advantageous characteristics such as ablation or vaporization, hemostasis, and bactericidal effect, lasers are effective for the treatment of periodontitis, which is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection. Previous laser systems had limited potential for use in soft tissue surgery. However, recent development of the Er: YAG laser has increased the application of lasers in periodontal therapy. As it is applicable to both soft and hard tissues with extremely low thermal side effects, the Er: YAG laser has become a promising laser in periodontics and laser treatment provides an alternative or adjunctive therapy to conventional mechanical instrumentation in periodontal therapy. In this paper, the application of Er: YAG laser for periodontal therapy such as gingival tissue management including esthetic treatment, periodontal pocket treatment including calculus removal, periodontal surgery, and implant therapy are discussed, based on scientific evidence from currently available basic and clinical studies.
