Dental Treatment
Background & Aim: Since the high prevalence, worldwide, of
periodontitis and peri-implantitis, both proven to contribute and/
or exacerbate systemic diseases by their inflammatory response,
they are becoming a major concern in general health care. The
search for finding a cost-effective and repeatable treatment for
the majority of the population, without causing detrimental side
effects, are a necessity and has been a question mark for many
years. Since traditional treatment protocols cannot meet to all
our expectations and have some contraindications, the rational
of one stage full mouth disinfection (OFMD) has been the new
paradigm in treatment strategy. However, a number of important
details can be optimized. Lasers have taken an eminent place in
periodontal care in the last two decades. The use of free running
pulsed (FRP) lasers in particular, might solve some shortcomings
in the traditional approach. The reason behind this is the way FRP
lasers, by their very short bursts of energy, cannot only take care
of bacterial and viral components of the periodontal infection,
in hard as well as in soft tissue, but also by dissipation of that
energy, have the capability to contribute to repair and at certain
level regeneration. This can contribute to preservation of soft and
hard tissue, in a cost-effective way.
Materials & Methods: Fifty-three patients having dpsi3+ or 4,
undergoing all the same protocol of a true OFMD of scaling with
adjunct of FRP laser treatment, with or without antibacterial
support as indicated along microbiological assessment.
Periodontal parameters were compared to baseline, at 2, 8 up
to 14 months, without retreatment. Clinical outcome of the
parameters for all cases were statistically significant improved to
baseline.
