Management of intra-bony defects using nano HA+PRF over its combination with a diode laser

Patients with periodontitis frequently have intra-bony defects. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the use of a diode laser and a bone graft (nano hydroxyapatite [HA] + platelet rich fibrin [PRF]) in healing of intra-bony defects. In this split-mouth evaluation, 20 patients with bilateral intra-bony defects were divided into 2 groups as; Group I (control) - nano HA + PRF and Group II (Test group)--bone graft (nano HA + PRF)+ diode laser and treated accordingly. After six months, reductions in PI, PD, GI, GR, and RCAL were discovered. Intra-bony pockets were found to have significantly decreased in both groups.
