ABSTRACT: Introduction: The integration of lasers in dental practice has experienced real extent thanks to the advantages and facilities they present. This technology has shown remarkable results namely in the surgery of soft tissues as well as hard tissues. In dentistry, and essentially in joint prostheses, the most lasers used are Diode laser and Erbium laser. These lasers facilitated interventions and optimizing treatment plans. Objective: The main purpose of our systematic review was to show the contribution of Erbium and Diode lasers in joint prostheses and to scientifically prove their usefulness. Materials and Methods: The collection of data from the scientific literature was carried out through a search on 2 research engines (PubMed and Science Direct), using the appropriate terms and keywords, over a period ranging from 2012 to 2022. The published articles responding to the inclusion criteria of our work were included. The writing of this systematic review followed the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analysis) and the Guide of Cochrane Diagnostic Test Accuracy Protocol and Reviews. Results: 16 articles were considered as relevant documents to our research, in which 345 patients received a total of 553 prosthetic procedures. The results were divided into 4 parameters, according to the following clinical situations: Access to the cervical limit, coronary elongations, implant surgeries (2nd surgical procedure) and removal of fixed prostheses. Discussion: This systematic review is dedicated to the discussion of the results present in the studies included in our systematic review. Then, these results are compared with each other and with other publications to make a conclusive and definitive judgment on the various factors mentioned above.
