Aim: This investigation was performed to evaluate clinically and radiodensitometrically the role of Low Energy Laser in the management of periodontal condition in Smoker Patients. Patients and Methods: The study was performed on twentyfour medically free patients having chronic periodontitis. Radiographic bone density evaluation and periodontal parameters were recorded after the first phase of plaque control then; the patients were instructed to perform oral hygiene measures. Patients were distributed into 2 main groups, the first group received Laser therapy, while the second group served as control group. At baseline, three and six months, bone density and alveolar bone level were radiographically recorded using CBCT. Results: The statistical analysis of the collected clinical and radiographic data revealed an overall clinical as well as Radiometric and Densitometric measurements improvement by time for laser group in comparison to control group at baseline, three and six months. Conclusions: The use of Low Energy Laser can enhance bone level and density as well as tissue healing in periodontally affected teeth. In addition, the use of CBCT is considered as an effective method for evaluation of preoperative and postoperative alveolar bone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
