Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of Neodymium doped: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG ) laser combined with Erbium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) laser assisted subgingival scaling root planing (SRP) in the treatment of periodontitis.Methods:A prospective research method was adopted. A total of 66 patients with periodontitis treated in Hebei Chest Hospital from August 2018 to August 2020 were selected and divided into experimental group and control group according to the random number table method, with 33 cases in each group. The control group was treated with SRP, and the experimental group received Er:YAG laser curettage combined with root surface leveling on the basis of SRP, and irradiated the periodontal pocket with Nd:YAG laser. The changes of periodontal clinical indicators and cytokine levels in gingival crevicular fluid were examined before treatment, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. The patients were divided into PD<3 mm group and PD ≥ 3 mm group according to the probing depth (PD) of periodontal pocket after 12 weeks of treatment, the clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed, and the Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with periodontitis after laser treatment.Results:After 4 and 12 weeks of treatment, the PD, clinical attachment loss (CAL), sulcus bleeding index (SBI) and plaque index (PLI) of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment ( P<0.05), and the PD, CAL, SBI and PLI in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group, after 4 weeks of treatment: (3.36 ± 0.21) mm vs. (3.91 ± 0.39) mm, (4.14 ± 0.67) mm vs. (4.75 ± 0.73) mm, (1.83 ± 0.20) scores vs. (2.58 ± 0.17) scores, (1.29 ± 0.24) scores vs. (1.61 ± 0.52) scores; after 12 weeks of treatment: (3.04 ± 0.28) mm vs. (3.66 ± 0.54) mm, (3.91 ± 0.47) mm vs. (4.68 ± 0.66) mm, (0.88 ± 0.06) scores vs. (1.35 ± 0.14) scores, (1.05 ± 0.31) scores vs. (1.57 ± 0.56) scores, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After 12 weeks of treatment, the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in gingival crevicular fluid in experimental group were significantly decreased compared with those in control group: (2.95 ± 0.19) μg/L vs. (4.32 ± 0.84) μg/L, (2.63 ± 0.82) μg/L vs. (3.58 ± 0.51) μg/L, (12.42 ± 1.19) μg/L vs. (13.26 ± 0.68) μg/L, (4.15 ± 1.12) ng/L vs. (5.36 ± 0.42) ng/L, (2.65 ± 0.08) ng/L vs. (4.12 ± 0.19) ng/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), while the level of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) was significantly increased compared with that in control group: (51.35 ± 8.95) ng/L vs. (44.90 ± 5.84) ng/L, and the differences between the groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the clinical indexes PD, SBI, PLI, IL-6, IL-8, TNF- α, MMP-8, IL-1β and crown root ratio of gingival crevicular fluid were all the risk factors for prognosis of periodontitis treated with dual wavelength laser ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Nd:YAG laser combined with Er:YAG laser assisted SRP can obtain good curative effect in the treatment of periodontitis. Periodontal clinical indexes PD, SBI, PLI, gingival crevicular fluid IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α, MMP-8, IL-1β level and crown root ratio were independent risk factors for the prognosis of periodontitis treated with dual wavelength laser.
