Clinical Trial Summary

a randomized controlled single-blinded study. the hypothesis of this clinical trial is that disjunctive use of diode laser improve the clinical parameters of periodontists , and there are significant difference between the conventional treatment and diode laser as an adjunct

Description:

A total of 240 sites with deep pocket in 30 systemically healthy patients with chronic periodontitis, from subjects attending Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) Postgraduate Dental Clinic (PDC), the age range were (28-55) year, between Apr 2017 and Oct 2017. Those patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled single-blinded study. For each patient, full medical and dental history and periodontal examination were recorded. Clinical parameters such as pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were evaluated at the baseline. All Patients underwent initial periodontal therapy; SRP which was performed using a sonic device and hand instruments and the sites were divided randomly into two groups SRP alone and SRP with adjunctive diode 810 nm laser in the contralateral sites in the same jaw. The Clinical parameters have been re-evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months to test the effectiveness of (810 nm, 2 W, pulsed mode, for 20 sec) in treatment of CP. Diode laser therapy was applied to periodontal pockets in the same day of treatment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	GI index score ,PI index score	GI index score: 0 = normal gingiva (pink, scalloped margin, pin pointed papilla, thin buccal and lingual margin); = mild inflammation (slight changes in color, slight edema, no bleeding on probing); = moderate inflammation (redness, edema, bleeding on probing); = severe inflammation (marked redness, edema, ulceration, spontaneous bleeding).; PI index score: 0 = no plaque in the gingival area; = a film of plaque adhering to the gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be only recognized by running a probe across the tooth surface.; = moderate accumulation of soft debris within the gingival pocket on the gingival and/or on the tooth surface, which can be seen by naked eye.; = abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and /or on the gingival margin and adjacent tooth surface.	Change from baseline in GI and PI at 1 month, change from baseline in GI and PI at 3 month, Change from baseline in GI and PI at 6 month
Primary	Probing depth (PD) in millimeter (mm), clinical attachment loss (CAL) in millimeter (mm)	PD its the distance from gingival margin to the base of the pocket in millimeter (mm) CAL the recession is added to the PD in millimeter (mm)	Change from baseline to 1 month in PD and CAL, change from baseline to 3 month in PD and CAL ,change from baseline to 6 month in PD and CAL
