Aging is inevitable, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to slow it down. And the easier the intervention, the better.

Retrieval of cement-retained zirconia implant-supported crowns with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser
ConclusionsRetrieval of cement-retained zirconia implant-supported crowns with an Er,Cr:YSGG
laser is safe and efficient. Crowns luted with zinc oxide dental cement were retrieved
significantly faster while maintaining a significantly lower average temperature than
those luted with resin cement. Laser irradiation for decementation did not cause structural
changes to zirconia implant-supported crowns. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
