About this trial

The study involves the surgical treatment of patients with Stage I to III of periodontitis. Following completion of Steps 1 and 2 of periodontal therapy according to the EFP guidelines for the treatment of periodontitis, sites presenting with residual probing depths greater than 5 mm and non-contained periodontal defects will undergo open-flap debridement and decontamination.

In one group, debridement and decontamination will be performed using manual and ultrasonic instrumentation, whereas in the other group, the same treatment will be supplemented with laser therapy.

Treatments tested in this trial

Mechanical Open Flap debridement
Procedure/Surgery
Open-flap debridement will be performed under local anesthesia. Following incisions, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap will be elevated to provide adequate access to the periodontal defect and root surfaces. Granulation tissue will be carefully removed, and thorough root surface debridement will be performed using manual and ultrasonic devices. After instrumentation surgical site, the flap will be repositioned and stabilized with sutures to achieve appropriate wound closure.
Laser assisted open flap debridement
Procedure/Surgery
Open-flap debridement will be performed under local anesthesia. Following intrasulcular incisions, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap will be elevated to provide adequate access to the periodontal defect and root surfaces. Granulation tissue will be carefully removed, and thorough root surface debridement will be performed using manual and ultrasonic instrumentation. In the test group, laser irradiation will subsequently be performed within the periodontal pocket and on the exposed root surface as an adjunctive decontamination procedure. After instrumentation, laser treatment, and irrigation of the surgical site, the flap will be repositioned and stabilized with sutures to achieve appropriate wound closure.
