Summary

Objective: The purpose of this research is to estimate the effectiveness of non-laser surgery and laser surgery in the management of periodontitis. Methods: One hundred participants with a chronic periodontitis diagnosis participated in a randomized controlled experiment. Two cohorts of patients were created: Cohort B underwent non-laser surgery and Cohort A underwent laser surgery. Pre- and postoperative assessments were conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months for clinical criteria such as "pocket depth (PD), gingival index (GI), and clinical attachment level (CAL)". Results: There was a noticeable improvement in clinical parameters following both laser and non-laser operations. However, laser surgery showed superior results in terms of decreased PD and raised CAL. Conclusion: In conclusion, compared to non-laser surgery, laser surgery seems to be a more successful treatment option for periodontitis. Larger sample sizes and longstanding follow-up are required for future research in order to validate these results and evaluate the longstanding sustainability of the treatment effects.
