Abstract :

Periodontal therapy focuses on removal of the periodontal microbial biofilm and stop further progression of the destruction thereby restoring the biological function of periodontally diseased root surfaces. Our study aims to compares and evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser with Scaling and root planing and Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 mouthrinses along with scaling and root planing in treatment of chronic periodontitis. A total of 30 patients having pocket probing depth ≥ 5mm were randomly assigned to the group I- (Laser with scaling and root planing) and group II- (H2O2 with scaling and root planing)- 15 each. In the result, it was observed that the clinical parameters from baseline to 3 months between group I and group II showed significant difference with better improvement in the group I. Thus, it was concluded that the adjunctive used of diode laser along with mechanical deidement have additional benefit in the clinical as well as microbacterial management of chronic periodontitis patients.
