No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Participants with periodontitis and presence of bilateral intrabony defect will be randomised to have one side of the mouth undergo root surface debridement using hand instruments and ultrasonic scaler alone, while the contralateral side will receive the same treatment, with the addition of the Er:YAG laser. Outcomes studies will be periodontal clinical parameters at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after treatment, radiographic parameters at 12 months, patient-reported parameters and laboratory analyses.

Conditions

  • Periodontitis

Interventions

DEVICE

Er:YAG laser (Waterlase)

The WaterLase iPlus tissue cutting system is a unique device with diverse, hard- and soft-tissue dental applications. It utilizes advanced laser and water atomization technologies to safely and effectively cut, shave, contour, roughen, etch, and resect oral hard-tissue, and direct laser energy to perform oral soft-tissue removal, incision, excision, ablation and coagulation.

PROCEDURE

root surface dbridement

root surface debridement under local anaesthesia
