Core Tip	Faced with the increased use of lasers in dentistry, we tried to demystify, in this review, the real benefits and disadvantages of the use of the neodymium:Yttrium-aluminium-garnet and erbium:Yttrium-aluminum-garnet lasers in periodontics. Many trials showed that the use of lasers is an effective and safe method of root planing in periodontal non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis. However, due its possible side effects and less effective results when used alone, lead some authors to state that the use of lasers as a replacement of the conventional mechanical treatment is still doubtful.
