Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy and Platelet-Rich Fibrin on the Treatment of Intra-bony Defects

摘要

Introduction: Attempts to regenerate the periodontal osseous defect, which is lost as a result of periodontal disease, require the tapping of the innate healing potential of periodontium through appropriately designed therapeutic strategies. A multitude of grafted and non-grafted approaches have been used in the management of Intra-bony defects. However, they do not provide predictable periodontal regeneration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), in site modulated intra-bony defects (decortication), which were accessed using a simplified papilla preservation flap (SPPF), on the clinical and radiographic outcomes of periodontal disease.
