Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of combined Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser therapy to that of scaling and root planning with hand instruments in nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis.Twenty-five systemically healthy patients with moderate-to-advanced periodontal destruction were selected for this study. The quadrants were randomly allocated in a split-mouth design to either combined Er:YAG (160 mj/pulse, and 10 Hz) and Nd:YAG laser (100 mJ/pulse, and 20 Hz) therapy (test group) or scaling root planning using hand instruments (control group). At baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment, clinical measurements, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (%) (BOP), were performed and gingival crevicular fluid and subgingival plaque samples were taken. The gingival crevicular fluid levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Total antioxidant status (TAS)/total oxidant status (TOS) were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and a novel automatic colorimetric method. Quantitative analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), and Treponema denticola (Td) was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures. ;
