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.
