Abstract:
Current evidence indicates that use of diode lasers in the treatment of periodontitis--either as a monotherapy or adjunctive to traditional therapy--offers minimal benefit. Further, subgingival application of the diode laser during nonsurgical periodontal therapy can result in undesired outcomes, even when using manufacturer-recommended parameters.
