Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the effectiveness of the combined application of Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser and air abrasive applied in addition to nonsurgical periodontal treatment on clinical parameters in patients with periodontitis.

A split-mouth, randomized study included 24 systemically healthy, non-smoker, periodontitis patients. In addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment, air abrasive (erythritol-chlorhexidine powder) and Nd:YAG laser (2 W, 200mJ, 10 Hz) combined application was applied to the test group, while only non-surgical periodontal treatment was applied to the control group. Clinical periodontal records of the patients, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), were taken before the treatment and at the 1st and 3rd months after the treatment.

All clinical parameters improved significantly from baseline for both groups after treatment (p˂0.05). In the evaluation between the test and control groups, no statistically significant difference was found in the PI, GI and BOP parameters of the patients at any time (p˃0.05). While the amount of change in PD and CAL values after treatment in medium deep pockets in the study groups was compared, no significant difference was observed between the groups (p˃0.05), statistically significant improvements in PD and CAL parameters were observed in the test group compared to the control group only for deep pockets (≥7 mm) among the groups (p˂0.05).In conclusion, it has been observed that the combined application of Nd:YAG laser and air abrasive in systemically healthy, stage III and grade C periodontitis patients is in the short term on PD and CAL, especially in inaccessible areas such as deep pockets.
