Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease is characterized by chronic inflammatory

processes that are caused by the triggering of the host response by specific

pathogens, progressive destruction of alveolar bone, and apical migration of

connective tissue and epithelial attachments. Some authors have suggested the

development of new treatment modalities,such as lasers, ozone, as an adjunct to periodontal therapy.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of Laser and Ozone as an adjunct to periodontal

therapy.

Method: Electronic databases, including MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane

Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials, and

EMBASE, were searched from january 2010 till january 2025 to collect relevant data and write a systematic review.

Result: Laser was found to be slightly better than ozone in terms of anti-

inflammatory property

Conclusion: Laser was found to be slightly better than ozone in terms of anti- inflammatory property whereas ozone was slightly better for wound healing than laser. This review has supported the use of laser and ozone as adjuncts to conventional periodontal therapy.
