Abstract:
Results of comparative use of different type lasers for surgical treatment of patients with medium severity level of periodontitis were presented: group 1--erbium laser "Waterlaser Millennium" (41 people); group 2--diode laser "LS-0,97 - IRE-Polyus" (25 people); group 3--carbon dioxide laser "СО2-laser LST - 20/01 Lantset" (21 people). Patients of the comparative group undergone a traditional surgical curettage (30 people). A PCR-diagnostic was made to all patients that were sent to ambulatory surgical treatment. It revealed carriage of 1 to 4 types of periodontium pathogenic bacteria that present ed threat from the point of view of infectious complications development in the postoperative period. After using laser technologies an increase of periodontium pathogenic species eradication frequency was registered (А. actinomycetemcomitans, T. forsithia, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, T. denticola): up to 60, 58 and 60%--for erbium, diode and carbon dioxide correspondingly.

Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...
