Nd:YAG Laser Versus Diode Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (Lanap) in the Management of Stage II Periodontitis: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating LANAP surgical protocol using ND:YAG 1064 laser, LANAP surgical protocol using diode 940 laser, and 1 other intervention for Periodontitis. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aim of the study was to assess and compare the clinical and microbiological changes following Laser assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP®) using diode 940 nm versus ND:YAG 1064 nm, and to compare the outcome to conventional periodontal therapy
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A free running pulsed, 1064 nm wavelength-specific ND:YAG laser (Light walker AT)\* with an attached 320 µm diameter optical glass fiber attached to a metallic hand piece with a flexible tip, which will be set at 3:4 -watt average power, 20 HZ, and a 100-600 µs pulse duration
Diode laser (Biolase) with 940 nm wavelength, a thin flexible fiber-optic cable 300 μm was attached with a power average set at 0.5-1 watt, in continuous mode, and 20 HZ
Scaling and root planing (SRP) using ultrasonic device (Woodpecker USD-P Led Ultrasonic Scaler Ende) at moderate setting and with appropriate tips and also hand curettes will be used for root planning.
