The use of lasers to treat various problems in dentistry is growing as it has in medicine. One application is the use of lasers to treat periodontal disease. It has been suggested that the laser may reduce the need for surgical treatment by reducing pockets. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of laser treatment for periodontal disease. Laser therapy will be used in addition to traditional non-surgical scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). The information obtained from this study will provide an objective assessment of adjunctive laser therapy compared to conventional periodontal therapy and will attempt to show the benefits, if any, lasers can provide in the treatment of chronic periodontal disease.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Probing Pocket Depth | This is a measure from base of pocket to gingival margin. | 12 months | |
Primary | Sites That Bleed on Probing | Percentage of sites that bleed in response to probing. Bleeding observed within 30 seconds from pocket/sulcus following periodontal probe measurement. | 12 months | |
Primary | Gingival Recession | Measure of gingival recession following treatment. This is a measure of the gingival margin from the cement-enamel junction. | 12 months | |
Primary | Clinical Attachment Level | Periodontal clinical attachment level following treatment. This is a calculation (clinical attachment level = probing pocket depth + gingival recession). | 12 months | |
Secondary | Periodontal Microbiome | Assess changes in periodontal microbiome using DNA sequencing | 12 months | |
Secondary | Patient Reported Outcomes: VAS Questionnaire | Measure patient reported pain (0-100), comfort (0-100), sensitivity (0-100) and satisfaction (0-100) using VAS questionnaire, with lower values indicating better outcome for pain and sensitivity and higher values indicating better outcome for comfort and satisfaction. | 12 months |
