Purpose: This study aims to determine and compare the changes in probing pocket depth, sulcular bleeding index, plaque index, gingival index, Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area (PISA) values following scaling and root planing using diode laser with and without the use of “Irimedadi Taila”. Methodology: 8 Subjects with periodontitis were included in this split mouth parallel group randomized control trial. Teeth on the control side and contralateral test side were treated using Conventional Ultrasonic Scaling followed by Diode Laser Curettage at 940 nm. Patients were instructed to take 5 drops of Irimedadi Taila and massage the intended site. The clinical examiner was blinded to the assignment of quadrants and Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. Results: 8 Quadrants were randomized to each group. At 8 weeks Post Op, Results indicated a significant reduction in sulcular bleeding index in the test group. Other parameters such as Plaque Index, Gingival Index, PISA improved in both the groups. No adverse events were reported and the taila was well tolerated. Conclusion: The finding of this preliminary study indicates that diode laser curettage along with the usage of Irimedadi taila is effective for treatment of chronic periodontitis when compared to diode laser curettage alone.
