Clinical evaluation of photobiomodulation therapy and local 1.2% atorvastatin gel as an adjunct to subgingival instrumentation in patients with stage II periodontitis: a randomized controlled trial.
The principal results of this study showed improved periodontal status and significant improvements in clinical parameters in patients in Group B (1.2% atorvastatin gel). Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that both photobiomodulation and 1.2% atorvastatin gel can be effectively used as adjuncts to subgingival instrumentation in the treatment of periodontitis.
