Abstract

Abstract: Implant-supported dentures have become the primary choice for patients with partial or complete edentulism. However, excessive occlusal loads and peri-implantitis can lead to bone resorption around implants, potentially causing implant loosening or even failure. Although the mechanism is not clear, studies suggest that excessive occlusal forces may synergistically exacerbate bone resorption in the presence of peri-implantitis. Laser therapy, known for its effective ablation, bactericidal, and bioregulatory properties, plays a significant role in the treatment of peri-implantitis. Combining occlusal adjustment with laser therapy can help control bone resorption around implants and alleviate the symptoms of peri-implantitis. This article reviews the occlusal factors that cause peri-implant bone resorption, the mechanisms through which these factors promote bone loss, and the principles of combining occlusal adjustment with laser therapy for treating peri-implant bone resorption. The aim is to provide treatment suggestions for solving the problem of peri-implant bone resorption.

Key words: Dental occlusion, Laser therapy, Peri-implantitis
