First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning works as well as the standard manual scraping plus ultrasonic cleaning for treating advanced gum disease. About 174 adults with severe periodontitis will receive one of the two treatments on different sides of their mouth. The goal is to see if the laser method is less painful and equally effective at reducing gum pocket depth.
