Abstract

All-ceramic restorations are widely favored due to their numerous advantages. However, their limited durability often requires removal or replacement when they lose functionality. Traditional removal methods rely on rotary instruments to grind away the veneer, a process that is both labor-intensive and inconvenient. In contrast, laser-assisted techniques have emerged as a promising alternative for the removal of all-ceramic restorations. This approach offers several advantages that contribute to its growing adoption among dental professionals and increased research interest. This systematic review aims to provide a detailed analysis demonstrating the effectiveness of laser-assisted removal of all-ceramic restorations. The findings indicate that laser-based technology significantly outperforms conventional grinding methods. This technique increases efficiency by minimizing discomfort, preserving the integrity of the underlying tooth structure, and simplifying the procedure. Additionally, laser-assisted removal significantly reduces the time required to complete the process compared to traditional methods.
