EVALUATION OF THE TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS OF THE GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS INITIAL STAGE WITH ER: YAG LASER

Abstract

Purpose - to evaluate the treatment effectiveness of the initial stage of the generalizedperiodontitis with Er: YAG laser.Material and methods. 35 patients with an initial stage of generalized periodontitis wereobserved. I group consisted of patients who received standard periodontal treatment.Patients in the 2nd group received standard treatment with additional Laser Therapywith Er: YAG Laser and chlorogexidine-bigliuconate irrigation.Results. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that treatment with laser radiationis effective in the acute flow of inflammation in periodontal tissues - under the influence ofthe rays of Yag Lasers, swelling and bleeding decreases, pain disappears. Therapy is themost effective with small values of density and intermittent light effects on the focal pointof the lesion.The analysis of the results of the study have shown that the combined use of standardtreatment and Yag Lasers in the complex treatment of the initial stage of generalizedperiodontitis leads to a faster elimination of inflammatory events, stimulates regenerativeprocesses, shortens the treatment time for patients in 1,5-2 times. This indicates the higheffectiveness of radiation Yag Lasers in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in theperiodontal disease. The results of the combined use of laser light with irrigation of theoral cavity with 0,2% aqueous solution of chlorhexidine deserves particular attention.The development and introduction of new methods for the treatment of periodontaldisease with the use of effective pharmacological agents in combination with lasertherapy is an important and topical task of modern dentistry.
