Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure: An Adjunct to Scaling and Root Planing in Moderate to Deep Periodontal Pockets Treatment

Introduction: In order to assess the effectiveness of a laser-assisted new attachment method (LANAP) employing a diode in treating moderate to deep periodontal pockets, a split-mouth randomized controlled trial was carried out. Methods: Ten participants, aged 18–65, with moderate to deep periodontal...

description Introduction: In order to assess the effectiveness of a laser-assisted new attachment method (LANAP) employing a diode in treating moderate to deep periodontal pockets, a split-mouth randomized controlled trial was carried out. Methods: Ten participants, aged 18–65, with moderate to deep periodontal pockets were included in the research. The subjects were split into two groups, control and test, each with ten sites. Scaling and root planing (SRP) was applied to the control sites using a universal curette, whereas SRP and a diode laser were used on the test sites. At six and twenty-four weeks, the subjects were summoned back for a post-operative assessment. The clinical parameters, including the clinical attachment level (CAL), periodontal pocket depth (PPD), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI) for both groups were noted, and the information gathered was statistically examined. Results: PPD and CAL in the test groups showed a clinically significant decline, and the values of the test and control groups at six and twenty-four weeks differed statistically significantly. Conclusion: Based on the study’s findings, moderate-to-deep periodontal pockets may benefit from LANAP treatment before scaling.
