Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation of the supportive tissues of the teeth with the progressive attachment loss and bone loss. Thus, an essential component of therapy is to eliminate the etiological pathogens. This has been traditionally accomplished through mechanical means (SRP) scaling and root planing in non-surgical treatment modality for chronic periodontitis. AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the efficacy of soft tissue diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing following non-surgical treatment modality in the clinical parameters of adult patients with chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: A total 30 systemically healthy subjects diagnosed with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned in two groups; GROUP I (SRP): SRP alone done GROUP II (SRPL): Lasers was used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. Baseline data, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD) and relative clinical attachment level (rCAL) were recorded before the treatment and 1st,3rd and 6th months after the treatment. RESULTS: The results were similar for both group in terms of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI). The laser group showed only significant probing pocket depth and clinical attachment gain after the treatment. CONCLUSION: ◆ The results of this study show significant difference in PPD between GROUP I (SRP) and GROUP II (SRPL) at 6months interval from baseline. ◆ The results of this study show significant difference in CAL between GROUP I (SRP) and GROUP II (SRPL) at 6months interval from baseline. ◆ There was significant difference in PI and GI in both the groups from baseline to 6 months follow up. ◆ However, there was no significant difference in PI and GI between both groups I and II at 6 months interval.
