In dentistry, which is a constantly renewing and growing discipline, many new developments can be applied in order to increase the success of treatment and patient comfort. For this purpose, low-level laser (LLL) applications have been widely used in periodontology. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) are used in clinical practice since 1988. Laser systems have bio-stimulative, regenerative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects; and also can activate haematological and immune systems. The use of LLLT in periodontology may be beneficial in the treatment of periodontal diseases and in eliminating the side effects of treatment. It is shown in several studies that inflammatory, hard and soft tissue healing processes; postoperative pain and dentinal hypersensitivity therapies may be affected positively from LLLTs. Especially, the effects of LLLT on the initial periodontal treatment and periodontal surgery practice applications have been the subject of several investigations. Although there are various possibilities for the use of LLLT in periodontology there is no standardization and consensus about LLLT applications. , In this review, benefits, limitations and the use of LLLT in various areas of periodontal therapy are discussed in the light of the literature.

Periodontolojide düşük doz lazer uygulamaları

Öz

Sürekli yenilenen ve gelişen bir bilim dalı olan diş hekimliğinde, tedavi başarısını ve hasta konforunu artırmak amacıyla birçok yeni gelişme uygulama alanı bulmaktadır. Bu amaçla düşük doz lazer tedavisi (DDLT) uygulamaları da periodontolojide yaygın olarak yer alabilmektedir. DDLT 1988’den beri klinik uygulamalarda kullanılmaktadır. Dokuları uyarıcı, rejeneratif, analjezik ve antiinflamatuar etkiye sahip olan lazer sistemleri; immün ve hematolojik sistemleri de aktive etmektedir. Periodontolojide DDLT’nin kullanımı periodontal hastalıkların tedavisinde ve tedavilerin yan etkilerinin giderilmesinde faydalı olabilmektedir. Çeşitli çalışmalarda inflamasyon ile sert ve yumuşak doku iyileşme sürecinin, operasyon sonrası ağrı ve dentin hassasiyeti tedavisinin DDLT’ den olumlu olarak etkilendiği gösterilmiştir. Özellikle, periodontal baslangıç tedavisi ile periodontal cerrahi sonrası uygulaması üzerine etkileri birçok araştırmaya konu olmuştur. DDLT’nin periodontolojide kullanımı için çeşitli olasılıklar olsa da DDLT uygulamaları hakkında bir standardizasyon ve fikir birliği bulunmamaktadır. Bu derlemede DDLT’ nin farklı periodontal tedavilerde kullanım alanları, faydaları ve sınırları literatürler ışığında ele alınmaktadır.
