| Abstract: |
The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of the Sirolaser Blue laser (445nm) in combination with subgingival curettage in the treatment of periodontal pockets by using clinical parameters: plaque index (PI) and periodontal pocket probing depth (PPD). Materials and methods: The patients with chronic periodontitis were included in this study, and about 230 periodontal pockets were sampled. Patients were divided into two groups: the first group of respondents was treated with a combination of subgingival curettage and irradiation with a SirolaserBlue (445nm) and the second group of respondents was treated only with subgingival curettage. We measured the values before treatment, and evaluation of treatment results was conducted one month after by determining clinical parameters PI and PPD. Results: The PI value before the treatment in group 1 was 1.74±0.05, whereas after the treatment this value has dropped considerably to 0.52±0.06 (p<0.001). The PI value before the treatment in group 2 was 1.29±0.08, whereas after the treatment, it has dropped considerably to 0.84±0.07 (p<0.001). Also, the PPD value before the treatment in group 1 was 4.62±0.09, whereas after the treatment this value has dropped considerably to 3.21±0.08 (p <0.001). The value of PI before the treatment in group 2 was 4.10±0.08, and after the treatment it has dropped considerably to 3.45±0.07 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results of the study support the improvement of clinical parameters (PI, PPD) after one month, where both clinical parameters showed a greater reduction in the group where, in addition to subgingival curettage, irradiation with Sirolaser Blue (445nm) was performed. Taking into account all of the above considerations, we can conclude that the blue beam (445nm) has proved to be effective in the treatment of chronic periodontitis challenging us to future task of examining its effectiveness in the treatment of other periodontal diseases.
