Hazards Of Lasers: A Periodontal Insight

Abstract

Traditional management of periodontal disease primarily involves mechanical debridement, such as scaling and root planing (SRP), coupled with oral hygiene education and, in some cases, adjunctive antibiotic therapy. While these methods are effective in managing mild to moderate cases, they have limitations. Deep periodontal pockets can be challenging to clean thoroughly with mechanical methods, and systemic conditions like diabetes may impair wound healing and response to treatment.
