Studies of Pulsed Free-Running
Nd:YAG Laser Sulcular Debridement 
The use of pulsed free-running Nd:YAG laser energy for cutting and coagulating intraoral soft tissue, including marginal and interdental gingiva, was reported in a randomized, prospective clinical trial in 1991 and published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine.5
Pulsed Nd:YAG laser energy for the removal of pocket lining epithelium was studied in 1994 and published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.2
Pulsed Nd:YAG laser therapy following scaling and root planing was studied in 1997 in a university based, double-blind, randomized, clinical trial and published in Practical Periodontics and Aesthetic Dentistry.3
Pulsed Nd:YAG laser therapy following scaling was reviewed in a 5-year retrospective study published in 1999 in Dentistry Today.4
