This study tests whether adding a diode laser to standard deep cleaning helps people with gum disease. Forty adults with periodontitis will receive either standard cleaning alone or cleaning plus laser. Researchers will measure gum pocket depth and inflammatory markers in saliva to see if the laser provides extra benefit.
