“…Romanos et al tested the 980 nm diode laser for its ability to remove periodontal pocket epithelium in vitro [38]. The objective of another in vitro study performed by Gutknecht et al was to assess the bactericidal effect of the 980 nm wavelength on bovine teeth [39].…”

“…Thanks to curettage effect, the laser eliminates the sulcular epithelium infected in a total and complete way than conventional methods of treatment with manual tools (30), without any kind of damage to the underlying connective tissue and reducing the bacterial load of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis (31), which easily penetrate within the sulcular epithelium. Furthermore there is a scientific evidence on the direct antimicrobial effect of diode laser against levels of Targeted Periodontal Pathogens (32).…”

SummaryBackground. Chronic periodontitis affects 47% of adult population over the age of 30. The first phase of periodontal treatment is always represented by scaling and root planning (SRP), that is a causal, non-surgical therapy that recognizes as primary aims the control of bacterial infection and the reduction of periodontal plaque-associated inflammation. Yet, another innovative causal therapy is represented by the irradiation of periodontal pockets with laser. Aim. To evaluate the effect of a 940-nm diode laser as an adjunct to SRP in patients affected by periodontitis. Materials and methods. Sixty-eight adult patients with moderate-to-severe periodontitis were sequentially enrolled and undergone to periodontal examination (V1) in order to detect gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI) and probing depth (PD). The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the first (n=34) received SRP treatment alone, the control group (n=34) received SRP and 940-nm diode laser therapy. Results. Data were analyzed by Student's t-test, with two tails; for all clinical parameters, both groups reported statistically significant differences compared to basal values (p<0.0001). Both procedures were effective in improving GI, PI and PD, but the use of diode laser was associated with more evident results.

“…10 Recently, a new laser of the diode family was introduced to the field of oral applications, the 980-nm diode. [11][12][13] The wavelength of this laser gives it a high power of penetration into the tissue with a high absorption peak in melanin and hemoglobin, and low interaction with water and hydroxyapatite. This characteristic allows its energy to overtake intra and intercellular water (low coefficient of absorption) and produces a deep haemostatic and necrotic thermal effects in tissues with dark pigmentation, in comparison with Er:YAG laser.…”
