The healthy status of the periodontal pocket and gingiva is mandatory for tooth survival, as well as, systemic health in general. Only 10% of the global adult population appears to be resistant to it, whereas 10-15% is highly sensitive. Due to the limitations of Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), the researches have focused to utilize additional therapies to enhance the conventional treatments in periodontitis and periimplantitis. Utilization of appropriate laser wavelengths with suitable protocols can probably improve the periodontal status for a more extended period and limit the use of antibiotics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
