Abstract:An 810‑nm diode laser was used to non‑surgically treat a 7‑mm pocket around an implant that had fivethreads of bone loss, BoP+, and exudate, and the patient was followed up for 5 years. Non‑surgical treatment,home care reinforcement, clinical indices records, and radiographic examination were completed in twoconsecutive 1‑h appointments within 24 h. The patient was monitored frequently for the first 3 months.Subsequently, maintenance debridement visits were scheduled at 3‑month intervals. The patient had adecreased probing pocket depth and a negative BoP index compared to initial clinical data, and the resultswere stable after 1 year. After 5 years of follow‑up visits, there appeared to be rebound of the bone levelradiographically. Within the limits of this case report, conventional non‑surgical periodontal therapy withthe adjunctive use of an 810‑nm diode laser may be a feasible alternative approach for the managementof peri‑implantitis. The 5‑year clinical and radiographic outcomes indicated maintenance of the clinicalimprovement.
