Abstract

Endo-perio lesions are complicated clinical situations that present difficult clinical problems. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the efficacy of a standard treatment protocol over diode laser for management of endo-perio lesions. A total of 40 patients with endo-perio lesions were randomly assigned to two groups; standard treatment protocol, including root canal therapy with scaling and root planing (SRP) and augmented with diode laser therapy. At baseline and six months after treatment, clinical data such as radiographic bone density using digital radiography, clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and probing depth (PPD) were collected. Bacterial decrease was evaluated by microbiological analysis. Thus, clinical results are considerably improved when diode lasers are used as an adjuvant to established treatment protocols for endo-perio lesions.
