Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Dental Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition affecting the gums and supporting bone.
  • Current treatments for periodontitis include surgical interventions with varying efficacy.
  • The role of laser technology in periodontal therapy is an area of ongoing investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of laser surgery versus non-laser surgery in managing chronic periodontitis.
  • To evaluate clinical outcomes, including pocket depth and clinical attachment level, following both surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 100 participants diagnosed with chronic periodontitis.
  • Patients were divided into two groups: laser surgery (Cohort A) and non-laser surgery (Cohort B).
  • Clinical parameters (pocket depth, gingival index, clinical attachment level) were assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Both laser and non-laser surgeries resulted in significant improvements in clinical parameters.
  • Laser surgery demonstrated superior efficacy, evidenced by greater reductions in pocket depth (PD) and increases in clinical attachment level (CAL).

Conclusions:

  • Laser surgery appears to be a more effective treatment modality for periodontitis than non-laser surgery.
  • Future studies with larger cohorts and extended follow-up periods are recommended to validate these findings and assess long-term treatment sustainability.
