Adjunct Use of Diode Laser Therapy and Omega 3 Gel in Local Drug Delivery Approach on The Treatment of Localized Aggressive Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a disease of the periodontium occurring in an otherwise healthy adolescent, which is characterized by a rapid loss of alveolar bone about more than one tooth of the permanent dentition.

The laser approach is an efficient and atraumatic technique to enhance its use for periodontal treatment. Within the limits of scientific data, treatment with diode laser and SRP showed a higher effect than SRP or laser alone.

Omega3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have well recognized anti-inflammatory properties. They decrease inflammation through multiple pathways.
