Diode Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Краткое описание

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of diode laser-assisted non-surgical periodontal therapy in kidney transplant recipients with periodontitis. Eighty participants will be allocated to two parallel groups: scaling and root planing (SRP) with adjunctive diode laser therapy or SRP alone. Clinical periodontal parameters, blood biomarkers, radiographic findings, and subgingival microbiome profiles will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up. The study aims to determine whether adjunctive diode laser therapy provides superior clinical and biological improvement compared with SRP alone.
