Description
Teodora Tene and co-authors combine laser therapy with deep cleaning for gum disease in this 2024 case report. Periodontitis destroys the tissue and bone holding teeth. Scaling and root planing, the standard deep clean, sometimes needs help.
Their patient, a 32-year-old man, received full-mouth disinfection plus diode laser treatment. Six months later, bleeding on probing fell from twenty to five percent. Pocket depths and attachment levels improved modestly, and X-rays showed bone loss had stabilized. Four of five diseased sites improved markedly. The authors pair the case with a review of similar reports. Lasers may earn a place beside the scraper.
