Study Overview
This study looked at how effective two laser treatments—laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT)—are when used with traditional cleaning methods for gum disease (scaling and root planing or SRP).
Study Design
The research involved 68 patients with gum disease. They were split into three groups:
- Group 1: Received only SRP (control group).
- Group 2: Received SRP plus LANAP.
- Group 3: Received SRP plus LLLT.
Measurements were taken before treatment and again at one and three months after treatment.
Key Findings
Patients in the laser treatment groups (LANAP and LLLT) showed:
- A significant decrease in gum pocket depth and improvement in gum attachment compared to the control group.
- Group 2 (LANAP) had better bone healing compared to the control group.
- No significant differences in biochemical markers between the groups.
Conclusion
Using laser treatments alongside traditional cleaning methods can provide extra benefits for patients with deep gum pockets. LLLT also helped improve gum recession.
