Severe periodontal defects and peri-implant defects can be challenging to manage. Treatment may include surgical and nonsurgical approaches, either individually or combined.

I will review the possible utilisation of photodynamic therapy and/or Er:YAG lasers in the management of such cases.
Learning Objectives:
1. Recognize, assess, and develop treatment and preventative strategies for severe periodontal and peri-implant defects.
2. Understand the basic principles of photodynamic therapy and Er:YAG lasers
3. Have a better understanding of the advantages of laser therapy in the treatment of advanced defects.
