| Abstract | ||
| The recent decades, considerable attention has focused on using of different types of laser irradiation in treatment of periodontal diseases. The aim of the present study was the assessment of efficacy of low-level and high-level diode laser treatment in combination with scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontitis. The total sample of the present study consisted of twelve patients had moderate to severe chronic periodontitis in at least (3) vital single-rooted teeth in different quadrants of each patient. These teeth of the twelve patients were allocated into three groups according to the type of the received treatment (12 teeth from 12 patients for each group). 1- Group A (GA) treated with scaling & root planing ( SRP). 2- Group B (GB) (SRP + low-level laser). 3- Group C (GC) (SRP + high-level laser). Clinical measurements were performed by a single well trained and calibrated examiner, and they included, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing pocket depth (PPD). The results of the present study were positive and predictable in both lasers irradiation modes. The differences between the changes of the SRP group (GA), and two lasers low and high density lasers combined with SRP groups (GB & GC) at baseline were not significant. All of the clinical parameters that were investigated in this study have showed a significant improvement at 6 months from the baseline for the three groups of the study. These findings reported that low & high-level diode laser can have a beneficial effect in treatment of chronic periodontitis in combination with traditional mechanical treatment. | ||
