Article Synopsis
- The umbrella review summarizes how effective erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) lasers are when used alongside traditional non-surgical periodontal treatments, based on existing systematic reviews.
- An extensive literature search was conducted, resulting in the identification of 472 studies, but only four met the quality criteria for inclusion after evaluating with the AMSTAR 2 guidelines.
- Although the studies suggest some potential benefits of using the Er: YAG laser, the overall evidence for its effectiveness in periodontal treatment appears weak, and further clinical benefits are not clearly established.
