Abstract

Numerous modalities have been advocated for periodontal regeneration and restoring the periodontal health, including, the modification of the root surface that is biomodification procedures in order to detoxify, decontaminate, and demineralized the root surface. Laser therapy has been investigated for a wide range of dental applications, although its effect as a root conditioning agent is yet to be explored. Hence, to explore the same, EBSCO HOST was searched for entries since 1966 – 2014, which included: - Journal of Periodontology, Annals of Periodontology, Periodontology 2000, Journal of Clinical Periodontology, International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative dentistry, Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology and Journal of Periodontal Research. A total of 11 studies were reviewed, out of these 11 studies, only, 2 reported evidences of regeneration for lasers. It was found that the role of lasers as a root conditioning agent in regeneration is still controversial and questionable.
