Background and Objective: The recently introduced Er:YAG laser seems to be a promising alternative in periodontal treatment due to its thermo-mechanical ablation mechanism. The present study attempted to compare the effects of an Er:YAG laser on periodontally involved root surfaces at different powe
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vivo effects of an Er:YAG laser (ERL), an ultrasonic system and scaling and root planing (SRP) on the biocompatibility of periodontally diseased root surfaces in cultures of human periodontal ligament f
