Patients with periodontitis frequently have intra-bony defects. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the use of a diode laser and a bone graft (nano hydroxyapatite [HA] + platelet rich fibrin [PRF]) in healing of intra-bony defects. In this split-mouth evaluation, 20 patients with bilateral intra-bony defects were divided into 2 groups as; Group I (control) - nano HA + PRF and Group II (Test group)--bone graft (nano HA + PRF)+ diode laser and treated accordingly. After six months, reductions in PI, PD, GI, GR, and RCAL were discovered. Intra-bony pockets were found to have significantly decreased in both groups.

The current study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in intra-bony defect regeneration by comparing the clinical parameters between periodontitis patients with intra-bony defects treated with simplified papilla preservation flap (SPPF) alone and SPPF with the adjunctive use of LLLT. The current study is a randomized controlled clinical trial involving 64 patients/sites, 32 sites treated with SPPF - control group and 32 sites treated with SPPF and adjunctive use of LLLT (SPPF+LLLT) - test group. Clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), position of gingival margin (PGM), radiographic intra-bony defect depth (R-IBD), full mouth plaque score (FMPS), and full mouth bleeding score (FMBS) were evaluated at baseline, 6 months, and one year post-surgery.

Purpose: Approximately 19% of the global adult population is affected by periodontal diseases. Healing is a protracted process that is significantly influenced by the patient's motivation, proficiency, and cooperation. The prevalence of periodontal diseases in patients with diabetes mellitus is extremely high, and the relationship is bidirectional.

Aim: The current study evaluates the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in intra-bony defect regeneration, by comparing the clinical, radiographic and molecular parameters between periodontitis patients with intra-bony defects treated with simplified papilla preservation flap(SPPF) alone and SPPF with adjunctive use of LLLT.
Methodology: The current study is a randomized controlled clinical trial involving 64 sites, 32 sites treated with SPPF- control group and 32 sites treated with SPPF and adjunctive use of LLLT(SPPF + LLLT)- test group. Clinical parameters were evaluated at baseline, 6 months and 1 year post surgery.

Background: Reconstructive treatments of peri-implantitis are carried out with the principles of guided bone regeneration, with a non-submerged or with a submerged approach. The authors describe a new technique for the reconstruction of intra-bony vertical defects caused by peri-implantitis, which requires the removal of the prosthetic superstructure to have better access to the surgical site, in order to perform the defect debridement and the implant surface decontamination and detoxification, before placing the reconstructive biomaterials.
Methods: A 2 mm high cap screw was connected to the implant with the aim of not letting a cross-linked collagen membrane to collapse over the implant threads.
