Abstract

Besides a review of the recent results in the field of soft laser application in stomatology, this paper presents a gallium-arsenic laser which was used as an extra therapy in the adult periodontosis. Successfulness of the applied therapy was evaluated on the basis of the laboratory fin­dings on the secreted gingivic exudate quantum in a time-unit (gingivic liquid and blood). The results show that the remendy process of catarrh was in the begining faster on the LAS sextant (p < 0,01), but the final results, after thirty days’period, were not significantly different. We believe that biostimulative effects of laser in the adult periodon­tosis therapy is of short duration, and in a longer period of time these effects have not proved to be better than the curettage.
