Effectiveness of a diode laser in addition to non-surgical periodontal therapy: study of intervention - 2015

Antonio Crispino, DDS, PhD, Michele Mario Figliuzzi, DDS, PhD, Claudio Iovane, DDS, Teresa Del Giudice, MD, Simona Lomanno, Delfina Pacifico, DDS, Leonzio Fortunato, MD, Roberto Del Giudice, DDS.

Conclusions: Considered the better clinical outcomes, diode laser can be routinely associated with SRP in the treatment of periodontal pockets of patients with moderate-to-severe periodontitis.

Conclusions: Application of DL energy can reduce bacteria in gingival crevices which may reduce bacteremia following US. The use of DL did not show additional clinical influence on gingival healing after treatment of gingivitis with US.

Mirjana Gojkov-Vukelic, Sanja Hadzic, Amira Dedic, Rijad Konjhodzic, Edina Beslagic.

Conclusions: Based on the obtained results, we concluded that diode laser irradiation reduces the number of active periodontal pathogens. We believe that the use of diode lasers, as a supplementary method in the treatment of periodontal disease, is extremely useful and efficient, and can be recommended as part of standard clinical practice.
