Although diode laser has been widely utilized in periodontal therapy, the clinical effectiveness remains controversial among current clinical trials15,20. As demonstrated, the laser usage mode and application regimen have significant impacts on the efficacy of periodontal laser therapy12. Most researchers, however, ignore the potential role, eliciting results that are hard to explain. Under different usage modes, excessive or insufficient ...

Periodontal disease is a chronic multifactorial infection resulting in progressive destruction of periodontium1. Its severe form, periodontitis, affects up to 50% population worldwide2 and is regarded as a major cause of tooth loss in adults3. Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants has been extensively favored over traditional options4. The implants show prominent functional and aesthetic performances with a long-term survival rate of 96.1% after 10 years5,6. The implants, however, can suffer from peri-implant disease leading to mucosal inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) or surrounding bone loss (peri-implantitis)7, which may cause the implant failure8. Therefore, it is of utmost necessity to manage the periodontal and peri-implant diseases effectively, in order to preserve natural teeth or improve the survival rate of dental implants.
Periodontal and peri-implant diseases share similar etiology9, i.e., both are initiated by exposure to dental plaque, consisting mainly of anaerobic and microaerophilic bacteria10. Mechanical debridement is considered a reliable modality to achieve efficient disruption of pathogenic deposits on root or implant surfaces11. Nevertheless, it has restricted accessibility using instruments when there is complex tooth anatomy (i.e., root furcation and groove), leading to insufficient decontamination12. Under this context, the application of lasers and probiotics has emerged to supplement mechanical debridement13,14.
A variety of lasers have been proposed for periodontal treatment, such as Nd:YAG; CO2; Er:YAG; Er,Cr:YSGG; and diode laser15. Among these, the diode laser is the most popular choice for clinical treatment due to its portability and low cost16. The diode laser has been recommended as an ideal adjunct in destroying biofilms, eliminating inflammation, and facilitating wound healing due to its photobiomodulation and photothermal effects12,13. The diversity of laser usages, nonetheless, leads to significant clinical heterogeneity among current studies. Thus, in our recent publication, we evaluated 30 clinical trials and summarized the optimal combination of laser usage mode and application regimen12. However, few studies report the detailed procedure of the combination protocol. On the other hand, probiotic Lactobacillus has been drawing increasing attention as a potential adjuvant in treating peri-implant disease, due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory performances17,18. The clinical benefits, however, have not reached an agreeable consensus. One critical account referred to the variety of probiotic administration protocols17.
Based on the current evidence, this article describes two modified clinical protocols: the existing protocol for the use of adjunctive diode laser in treating periodontitis is improved based on two laser usage modes (inside or outside pocket) and two application regimens (single or multiple sessions of appointment)12. For the adjunctive probiotic Lactobacillus therapy in treating peri-implant disease, a combination of professional local use and home administration of probiotic is described17.

adjunctive diode laser therapy and probiotic lactobacillus therapy in the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implant disease

Periodontal and peri-implant diseases are plaque-induced infections with a high prevalence, seriously impairing people&#39;s quality of life. The diode laser has long been recommended as adjunctive therapy in treating periodontitis. However, the optimal combination of usage mode (inside or outside periodontal pocket) and application regimen (single or multiple sessions of appointment) has not been described in detail. Meanwhile, probiotic Lactobacillus is regarded as a potential adjuvant in the management of the peri-implant disease. Nonetheless, a detailed protocol for an effective probiotic application is lacking. This article aims to summarize two clinical protocols. For periodontitis, the optimal collaboration of laser usage mode and application regimen was identified. Regarding peri-implant mucositis, a combined therapy containing professional topical use and home administration of probiotic Lactobacillus was established. This updated laser protocol clarifies the relationship between the treatment mode (inside or outside the periodontal pocket) and the number of laser appointments, further refining the existing diode laser therapy. For inside pocket irradiation, a single session of laser treatment is suggested whereas, for outside pocket irradiation, multiple sessions of laser treatment provide better effects. The improved probiotic Lactobacillus therapy resulted in the disappearance of swelling of the peri-implant mucosa, a reduced bleeding on probing (BOP), and an obvious reduction and good control of plaque and pigmentation; however, probing pocket depth (PPD) had limited improvement. The current protocol should be regarded as preliminary and could be further enhanced.

Periodontal pockets with PPD &#8805; 5 mm require laser irradiation after SRP, as it is difficult to obtain complete debridement by SRP alone (Figure 1A,B). After SRP, if the periodontal pockets bleed profusely and clot on the tooth surface, the operator needs to stop the bleeding and remove the clot by rinsing and gargling several times. This is because a large amount of blood will prevent the laser from working (Figure 1C,D).<...
