Adjunctive Diode Laser Therapy in Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Periodontal Disease, Periodontal Pockets, Periodontal Attachment Loss
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive application of diode laser to mechanical, non-surgical root surface debridement in patients attending periodontal office. The main question it aims to answer is: To compare the clinical effectiveness of adjunctive application of a 940-nm diode laser with root surface debridement to the effectiveness of root surface debridement alone. This study is a split-mouth design, where each quadrant will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups: Control group (root surface debridement - RsD): scaling and root planing alone. Laser group (RsD + laser): scaling and root planing with adjunctive diode laser therapy Quadrants will be randomly allocated to the treatment groups
