Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy and hyaluronic acid as adjuncts to non-surgical periodontal therapy for patients with periodontitis. Participants will be divided into three groups: one receiving standard scaling and root planing, another receiving scaling and root planing with laser treatment, and the third receiving scaling and root planing with hyaluronic acid application. The aim is to evaluate the healing outcomes and bacterial reduction associated with each treatment protocol. The study will be conducted at the University Medical Center Ljubljana.
