Soft-tissue lasers add no clinical value to the treatment of periodontal disease beyond what can be achieved using scaling, planing and conventional surgical procedures, according to a literature review in the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association. But other research, and the evolving perception that periodontal disease is caused not by oral bacteria but by inflammatory cells that overreact to the presence of the bacteria,

A tooth implant is positioned on the metal piece, otherwise called an
abutment and dental implant procedure is completed.
