AIM: To compare the effect of scaling and root planning (SRP) alone, and laser curettage as an adjunct to SRP, on the clinical parameters of @entity1 with @entity2521 and @entity6 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten @entity1 were divided into two equal groups in a split-mouth design - Group I: SRP alone, Group II: SRP + laser curettage. The following clinical parameters were recorded: (i) Gingival index (ii) plaque index (iii) sulcular bleeding index (iv) @entity92 ( @entity92 ) and (v) @entity922 ( @entity922 ). SRP was done in one quadrant using Gracey curettes and in another quadrant SRP plus laser curettage was done. Three weeks after the therapy, the clinical parameters were recorded and the results were analyzed and the percentage of improvement were evaluated. RESULTS: The results of this study indicated that both SRP and SRP + laser curettage were efficient for reducing @entity32 and @entity92 . Group II showed more @entity1017 in @entity922 than Group I. Mean @entity92 was 20.22% in Group I and 26.76% in Group II. Mean @entity922 gain is 32.5% in Group II and 22.34% in Group I. CONCLUSION: In both the groups, @entity32 was reduced. When laser curettage was used as adjunct to SRP more @entity92 and @entity922 was seen.
