Protocol summary

Study aim
To assess the effect of scaling and root planning through conventional method versus using a laser on the treatment of chronic periodontitis
Design
This is a single-blind randomized clinical trial, phase II, in which 16 eligible patients will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups
Settings and conduct
The eligible patients with chronic periodontitis referring to the School of Dentistry in Hamadan city during the study period will be enrolled in the trial and the right or left side of the patient will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups through the drawing of lots. This trial will be single-blinded so that the physician examining the patients will be aware of the intervention.

Inclusion criteria: Age of 20 to 65 years, Moderate to severe generalized chronic periodontitis, Envelope depth 4 to 7 mm without destruction of angular bone, Exclusion criteria: Pregnancy or breastfeeding, Any systemic disease, Using tobacco
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Scaling and root planning using a laser Er, Cr: YSGG, with a head of RFTP5, 1.5 W, 30 Hz, with an angle of less than 15 and parallel to the long axis of the tooth Control group: Scaling and leveling the root surface through the conventional method using a piezoelectric scaling machine with a sharp pen
Main outcome variables
Primary outcome: Probing Depth (PD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Gingival recession (GR), Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random assignment of the right and left sides of the patients to the intervention and control groups through the drawing of lots. To do this, we prepare two sheets and write "right" on one sheet and "left" on another. Then, by referring to every patient, one of the sheets will be randomly taken. According to whether the sheet is taken right or left is assigned to the intervention group and the other side to the control group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The physician who will examine the patients will not be aware of the intervention. Thus, the trial will be run as single-blind
