Summary
This study looked at whether adding a 980nm diode laser to standard deep-cleaning treatment for gum disease improves gum health and reduces body-wide inflammation. It included 40 people with gum disease who were either generally healthy or had a heart attack in the last 6 months. Researchers measured gum pocket depth, bleeding, and inflammatory markers in blood and gum fluid before treatment, 2 weeks after, and 3 months after.
