| Summary: | Introduction Very soon after it was discovered, laser was introduced in dental medicine due to its' outstanding properties. Periodontists started to implement laser assisted therapies in the mid-eighties and since then the protocols are continuing to improve. Material and methods The current research included a batch of 20 patients who needed orthodontic treatment but also had moderate periodontal disease. The sample population was randomly divided into two groups A and B. Patients included in group A received conventional periodontal treatment and patients included in group B received supplementary laser assisted therapy. Results Patients from group B had better reduction of inflammation, less swelling, less bleeding and a higher degree of comfort both intraoperative and postoperative. Conclusions Diode laser assisted therapy proved to be a reliable option for the periodontal rehabilitation of the potential orthodontic patient. |
