Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive application of diode laser to mechanical, non-surgical root surface debridement in patients attending periodontal office. The main question it aims to answer is:

To compare the clinical effectiveness of adjunctive application of a 940-nm diode laser with root surface debridement to the effectiveness of root surface debridement alone.

This study is a split-mouth design, where each quadrant will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups:

Control group (root surface debridement - RsD): scaling and root planing alone. Laser group (RsD + laser): scaling and root planing with adjunctive diode laser therapy Quadrants will be randomly allocated to the treatment groups

Conditions

  • Periodontal Disease
  • Periodontal Pockets
  • Periodontal Attachment Loss

Interventions

DEVICE

LASER assisted SRP

Two quadrants will be treated mechanically (ScR) with adjunctive diode laser and another two quadrants mechanically (ScR) only

DEVICE

RsD

mechanical root surface debridement with periodontal curettes
