Abstract:

All ceramic restorations are widely used in dental clinical practice, especially in implant repair. However, it is difficult to remove the cement-retained implant crowns in clinical treatment. Traditional removal methods such as grinding and knocking not only increase the time and cost of clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also bring fear and anxiety to patients. In recent years, some scholars have begun to study the use of Er:YAG laser as a new method to replace the traditional mechanical removal of implant all-ceramic restorations. But various factors, such as the material and thickness of the all-ceramic restoration, the type of cement, and the setting of laser parameters, have influence on the removal results. This article reviews the application and research progress of Er:YAG laser in removing implant all-ceramic crown restorations and provides relevant reference for doctors’ clinical operation.

Key words: Er:YAG laser, removal, implant, all-ceramic restoration, cement
