As we know that from past studies, laser treatment over SRP has the superior ability to kill the bacterial, reduced recolonization, and 1.2-2.2 mm greater long-term closure despite SRP's established 2.5-3.5 mm gain. Thus, in this study we have decided to compare & assess the pocket depth reduction post-operatively with Nd:YAG as group1, Er,Cr:YSGG as group 2 and SRP as group 3 in total of 15 patients. They were further equally divided in each group and were recalled after 1 week, 1 month, 6 month and 1 year respectively. We have found that, both lasers demonstrated superior reductions versus SRP (Nd:YAG: 4.6±0.4 mm; Er,Cr:YSGG: 4.4±0.3 mm; SRP: 3.4±0.6 mm at 1 year; p<0.001), achieving final pockets of 1.4-1.6 mm versus 2.6 mm. Laser superiority was evident from week 1 (p=0.02-0.04), with no significant differences between laser group respectively. Therefore, we have come to conclude that, Nd:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers provide significantly enhanced long-term pocket closure compared to conventional SRP in moderate periodontitis.
