ABSTRACT
The experience of using a diode laser with a wavelength of 940 µm in the treatment of patients with generalized periodontitis of moderate severity of chronic course is presented. 30 patients were examined, including 17 men (56.6%), and 13 women (43.4%) aged 35-44 with chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity. It is concluded that the use of diode laser of 940 µm in the complex therapy of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity is clinically justified and an effective auxiliary method of treatment. The long-term results of the clinical study indicate that the additional use of a diode laser allows for more stable remission and a greater reduction in the volume of surgical interventions compared with control group.
