Abstract
Background
Laser application for the treatment of peri‑implantitis provides a variety of advantages; however, depending on the laser type and parameters, it may also have adverse effects on the implant surface qualities. This study’s objective is to assess the effects of laser type and parameters on the surface properties of two different titanium-based implant materials: titanium Grade 4 (Ti-Grade 4) and titanium zirconium (Ti-Zr) discs with sand-blasted and acid-etched (SLA) surfaces under in vitro conditions.
