“…Clinical efficacy: The clinical efficacy in patients was assessed at 8 weeks after treatment with reference to the efficacy criteria in the study conducted by Ezber et al 8) : marked response: There was a reduction of ≥50% in gingival index, a reduction of ≥2 mm in periodontal pocket depth (PD) and disappearance of clinical symptoms, moderate response: There was a reduction of ≥1 mm in PD, and alleviation or improvement of clinical symptoms, and no response: None of the above criteria were met.…”

To assess the effect of subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP)-assisted occlusal adjustment scheme on periodontitis. A total of 90 patients with periodontitis treated from October 2021 to October 2022 were enrolled and assigned into an observation group (n=45) and a control group (n=45) using a random number table. The control and observations group were treated with SRP and SRP combined with occlusal adjustment scheme for 8 consecutive weeks, respectively. Comparisons were performed on clinical efficacy, periodontal indicators [periodontal pocket depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), and bleeding index (BI)] at different time points (4 and 8 weeks after treatment), and inflammatory indicators [transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in the gingival crevicular fluid before and 8 weeks after treatment. Compared with before treatment, PD, AL, and BI of traumatic teeth decreased 4 and 8 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The observation group had lower PD, AL, and BI 4 weeks after treatment, and lower PD 8 weeks after treatment than those of the control group (P<0.05). The occlusal force and occlusal holding time were smaller and shorter in both groups 4 and 8 weeks after treatment in comparison with those before treatment (P<0.05). The TGF-β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels reduced in both groups 8 weeks after treatment compared with those before treatment, and such levels were lower in the observation group 8 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The SRP-assisted occlusal adjustment scheme can effectively improve the degree and duration of occlusion of patients with periodontitis.

“…Laser therapy is increasingly used in dentistry due to the advantages it offers. Among them are its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action; therefore, nowadays it is frequently employed as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

Effects of Laser Therapy on Periodontal Status in Adult Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment

et al. 2022

Orthodontic treatment with fixed devices should only be indicated in case of a stable, non-active periodontal disease status. Throughout orthodontic treatment, a careful assessment of the periodontal status is advised. Due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, laser therapy is frequently used as an adjunct to classic periodontal therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the advantages and limitations of the use of laser therapy on periodontal status during orthodontic treatment. Throughout the 9 months during which this placebo-controlled, single-blind clinical trial was conducted, 32 patients were included in the study, divided into two groups: microscope “+” (patients who observed the bacteria within the dental plaque-sample examination on the screen of a dark-field microscope in real time) and microscope “−” (patients who did not see the oral pathogens using a dark-field microscope). For all patients, using the split-mouth study design, laser therapy was applied to one hemiarch (HL), whereas the other hemiarch received treatment without active light (HC). After one month, by analyzing the main indicators of periodontal health status, we found that the plaque index (PI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) values were significantly decreased after receiving treatment (for PI: HL-p = 0.0005, HC-p = 0.0297; for BOP: HL-p = 0.0121, HC-p = 0.0236), whereas the probing-depth (PD) values remained almost the same as before treatment (HL-p = 1.5143; HC-p = 1.4762). Conclusions: The use of the dark-field microscope proved to be beneficial in sensitizing patients to the presence of bacteria in the oral cavity and motivated them to strictly follow the rules of oral hygiene. Laser treatment can be a valuable aid in periodontal therapy, but only in adjunction with mechanical therapy.
