The primary goal of periodontal therapy is the removal of supra and subgingival bacterial deposits by mechanical debridement consisting in scaling and root-planing (SRP) using manual or power-driven instruments.Several factors interact in periodontal diseases, where the crucial criteria is the pathogenicity of the microorganisms, their ability to penetrate into the tissue and the individually different response of the host, depending on his immune status and his resistance.
The complete removal of bacteria and their toxins from periodontal pockets is not always achieved with conventional mechanical treatment. The use of lasers as an adjunctive therapy for periodontal disease may improve tissue healing by bactericidal and detoxification effects.Laser application can extend the range on non-surgical therapy when used in conjunction with conventional method.
