A clinico-microbiologic study comparing the efficacy of locally delivered chlorhexidine chip and diode LASER as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy

ConclusionThe additional use of LASER and chlorhexidine chip assures anti-inflammatory effect and anti-microbial effect that allows reduction in bacterial counts and promotes healing. The use of adjuncts have been found to be efficacious in controlling disease and promoting periodontal health and thereby reducing the need for surgical procedures to be undertaken.
