Routine non surgical periodontal thearpy often fails to achieve complete elimination of pathogenic microorganism. This could be attiributable to deep periodontal pockets, root concavities, furcation involvement etc. Systemic and local antimicrobials have been used adjunctively with scaling and root planning to optimize the results. They have their own draw backs namely antibiotic resistance and narrow spectrum of action over periodontal pathogens. In the last decade lasers applications have diversified occupying greater part of the periodontal treatment strategies. Photodynamic thearpy has shown conflicting results as a adjunctive thearpy. The routinely used dyes are Methyelene blue, indocyanine green and rose bengal .These dyes are difficult to procure and may not be economical . Hydrogen peroxide due to its super radicals has a local antimicrobial effect. Since hydrogen peroxide can be easily available in a clinical setting and is cost effective. It could be used for photodisinfection . From the near-infrared spectrum lasers, the Nd-YAG laser can remove periodontal pathogens because of its thermal effect. However, changes in the neighboring tissues can be attributed to these unwanted thermal effects. The diode lasers that belong to the 655-980 nm spectrum could represent a safer alternative.Because of the transmission or scattering effect on hydroxyapatite, diode lasers have no effect on calculus. Anaerobic bacterial species intermedia produce black pigments in Brucella media from blood agar. Hemoglobin in the soft periodontal tissues behaves like a chromophore, being absorbed by the diode laser. Photoactivated procedure use photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with 810nm laser. It acts as an endogenous dye, which can increase the laser effect at this level and also generate ROS stopped immediately after the laser irridation. Therefore, the diode laser stimulation of 3%hydrogen peroxide has been utilized adjuvantive to SRP to optimize clinical outcome.
