Abstract(s)
Quando se fala de periodontite crónica é necessário por a atenção sobre os vários tratamentos possíveis para garantir de melhor forma a saúde dos tecidos de sustentação do dente. Hoje em dia o tratamento periodontal não cirúrgico de eleição è a raspagem e o alisamento radicular, muitas vezes acompanhado por adjuvantes terapêuticos que possam evitar ter recidivas em curto prazo.
A eficácia da terapia laser associada ao tratamento não cirúrgico da periodontite crónica é um tema bastante discutido, apresentando desta forma pontos a favor e controvérsias.
Esta revisão narrativa tem como objetivo analisar a eficácia terapêutica de dois tipos de laser mais utilizados na área da periodontologia, o Nd:YAG e díodo, associados ao tratamento convencional de raspagem e alisamento radicular, de maneira a perceber como são utilizados, quais as evidencias obtidas em curto e longo prazo e qual a confiabilidade deste tipo de tratamento em pacientes periodontais adultos.
When dealing with chronic periodontitis it is necessary to consider several possible treatment options in order to guarantee optimal periodontal health. Today the non-surgical periodontal treatment of choice remains scaling and root planning which is often accompanied by auxiliary therapies in order to minimize short term risk of relapse. The use of laser therapy in conjunction with traditional non-surgical treatments for chronic periodontitis is still controversial, presenting both favorable and unfavorable arguments. This literature review aims to analyze the therapeutic efficiency of the two most common types of laser treatments used in conjunction with traditional non-surgical periodontal treatments : the Nd:YAG laser and the diodo laser. The current study will explore the methods in which these lasers are used, the evidence of their efficiency in both the short and long term and finally the reliability of this type of treatment in adult periodontic patients.
