Abstract:
Periodontitis is treated by non-surgical, antimicrobial and surgical therapies. Recently, Lasers having bactericidal effect have proved one of the promising new modality for treatment of periodontitis. Laser Assisted New Attachment procedure is minimally invasive surgical therapy, wherein laser is used for removal of diseased epithelium to induce new attachment without any side effects on the host tissue. This study was planned to evaluate clinical effects of LANAP during the early healing period of three weeks on the periodontal tissues. Results of this study would be crucial in the establishment of LANAP as the treatment of choice for Chronic Moderate Periodontitis.
