Abstract : The aim of this study was to evaluate the adjunctive effects of the diode laser in open flap debridement as compared with the conventional surgical techniques. Chronic periodontitis patients on low dose aspirin were randomized into test (diode laser application after flap surgery) and control( flap surgery without laser ). The results showed less blood volume lost and better clinical improvements in the test sites. Henceforth the study has proved that lasers can form an integral part of periodontal therapy in patients on low dose aspirin(<150mg) without altering their drug regime.
