Diode Laser With Periodontal Flap Surgery in Periodontitis

18 participantsStarted 2013-01

Plain-language summary

The authors theorize that periodontal flap surgery therapy with adjunctive DL therapy might bring favourable therapy results (clinical and bacterial parameters) in patients with stage 3-grade C periodontitis. Therefore, the goal of this split-mouth randomized clinical trial was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the treatment results for DL assisted modified Widman Flap (MWF) surgery (test site) with MWF surgery alone (control site) in periodontitis patients with stage 3-grade C by determining the changes in clinical parameters and bacterial load of pathogens (P.g., T.d., Camplyobacter rectus (C.r.), Prevotella intermedia (P.i.), T.f., A.a.) at preoperative and following MWF surgery at 6th week, 3rd and 6th months
