Abstract

Purpose: The current clinical study was done to examine clinical and radiographic changes of intrabony defects in response to LLLT combined with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)system & bovine engraft. Material and methods: The study was conducted on twenty (20) sites from ten (10) patients. A spilt-mouth design was used, sites were randomly selected from each patient, into two groups: control group; ten (10) sites received PRF system without irradiation, and laser group; ten (10) sites received PRF system and it was irradiated with low level laser. Clinical parameters included probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), Plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI).Digital radiograph assessment was done . Results: comparison between the groups at 6 months postoperatively showed significant difference between both Probing depth and clinical attachment level, Plaque index and Gingival index. Conclusion: The using of low intensity laser with PRF system showed an improvement in the outcome of infra bony defects treatment
