Resumen
Introduction: Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the supporting tissues of the teeth, with conventional treatment based on scaling and root planing. Therefore, the use of laser has emerged as a potential complementary technique to improve clinical outcomes. Therefore, the present study has focused on analyzing the use of laser as an adjunct in the treatment of chronic periodontitis, by comparing the clinical effects with conventional methods of scaling and root planing.Method: A bibliographic review of recent studies published between 2018 and 2023 was carried out in databases such as PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar. The search focused on articles that evaluated the impact of laser in periodontal treatment compared to conventional techniques.Results: The inclusion of laser in periodontal treatment has shown a significant reduction in the depth of periodontal pockets and a decrease in bacterial plaque compared to conventional treatment alone. The results indicated that the laser has offered additional benefits, such as a reduction in inflammation and more effective regeneration of periodontal tissues.Conclusions: Laser has proven to be an effective complement to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis, optimizing clinical results. However, optimal treatment protocols need to be defined by evaluating the long-term effectiveness of the laser and adapting its use to the individual characteristics of the patients
