Known as a hard tissue laser- Er,Cr:YSGG laser can be used both for hard and soft tissue applications with a great benefit of non-thermal cut which leads to temperature controlled treatment outcomes on hard tissues and a scar-free healing on soft tissues. Due to the absorbance spectrum, one of the best target structure for Er,Cr:YSGG laser is water where its concentration in human cementum, bone and gingiva is high. Er,Cr:YSGG laser gives us the opportunity to perform many difficult conventional surgeries including treatment of peri-implatitis, gingivectomies, apicoectomies, closed flap crown lengthening, removal of epulis or similar lesions, frenectomies or gingival depigmentation in an easier and a better way. In this lecture, there will be almost all the possible treatments that can be done with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser with appropriate settings and techniques.
