Efficacy of adjunctive Er,Cr:YSGG laser application following scaling and root planing in periodontally diseased patients

Scientific rationale for study The literature about lasers in the field of periodontology is contradictory. The present study aimed at evaluating benefits of Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation following deep scaling compared to scaling alone in a randomized controlled clinical trial based on an appropri...

Justificació de l´estudi La literatura sobre l´ús de làser en el camp de la periodòncia és contradictori. Aquest estudi té com objectiu evaluar els beneficits de la irradiació amb làser d´Er,Cr:YSGG després de realitzar un raspat de les arrels comparat amb el raspat sense aplicar làser en un estudi clínic randomitzat amb un tamany mostral adequat. Resultats principals Aquest estudi ha demostrat que la irradiació de láser Er,Cr:YSGG combinada amb el tractament convencional de raspat I allisat radicular no millora les variables clíniques en la disminució de la profunditat de bossa i del augment del nivell d´inserció clínica. Implicacions pràctiques Tenint en compte que els aparells de làsers son costosos i que els resultats obtinguts no son superiors al tractament convencional, la recomanació d´aplicació clínica és a data d´avui encara qüestionable.
