Impact of Diode Laser as an Adjunct to Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) in Patients With Periodontitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study will utilize diode laser to determine its effects on improving periodontal parameters and inflammatory biomarkers, comparing with conventional treatment alone, and evaluate its effectiveness in improving periodontal disease's clinical parameters. Several studies have compared the effects of lasers and conventional periodontal treatment, comparing only its microbiological and clinical parameter levels and therapy to determine their effectiveness in key periodontal pathogens eradication and their effects on improving the clinical parameters of periodontal disease, in this study, salivary biomarkers will be collected and assessed to do a comparison between two treatment modalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the effect of diode lasers on salivary biomarker levels.

Treatments
Experimental: Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal + Laser
The patients will be treated in accordance with treatment guidelines for Stage III periodontitis issued by the European Federation of Periodontology. At baseline, oral hygiene instructions were given together with supra- and subgingival professional mechanical plaque removal (PMPR) using a combination of the ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments plus diode laser, according to the clinical situation. After completing treatment, patients will be asked to return at 1 month for review and again at 3 months to repeat the measurement of clinical parameters and collection of the saliva samples.
