Abstract: Background: Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases, for which, scaling and root planning is the main approach.
Diode laser therapy as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment has shown some beneficial effects.
Aim: The objective of this single randomized controlled clinical study was to assess the effect of a 940 nm diode laser as an adjunct to SRP therapy in the treatment of periodontal pockets.
Methods: In this study, twenty patients in need of periodontal treatment with periodontal pocket ≥ 4 mm were selected for this split-mouth clinical study.
Test group treated by diode laser 940 nm as an adjunct with SRP, control group treated by SRP in contralateral quadrants.
Clinical measurements (CAL and BOP) were performed before treatment at baseline and at 3 months.
Results: CAL and BOP were significantly reduced after 3 months in control and laser groups.
No significant differences were found between the control and laser groups in respect to CAL and BOP.
Conclusion: The use of the 940 nm diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing did not offer any superior clinical benefits over conventional scaling and root planning.
