Abstract

Objective: Describe the current prevalence of plaque-related gingivitis and assess the effectiveness of laser-assisted gingivitis treatment in patients at the Department of Odontology - 108 Military Central Hospital from March 2024 to July 2024. Research method: Describe a cluster of cases on 35 patients, scaling with diode laser, collecting data based on clinical examination forms before treatment, 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment. Results: The average gingival index (GI) in men was higher than in women (2.10 ± 0.33 vs. 1.89 ± 0.51). Patients aged 30 years and older had a higher mean GI than those under 30 years (2.06 ± 0.15 and 1.93 ± 0.42, respectively). After 2 weeks, mild gingivitis accounted for 59.9%, moderate 34.3% and severe gingivitis 8.6%, while before treatment, the majority of patients had severe gingivitis (71.4%) and no patients had GI <1.0. Comparing the treatment results after 1 week and after 2 weeks, the number of patients with mild gingivitis increased from 0% to 62.9% after 1 week and tended to decrease after 2 weeks (57.1%). The majority of patients had a 1-2 degree reduction in gingivitis after 2 weeks. Only less than 1/10 of patients had no reduction in GI or even an increase in GI. Conclusion: Laser-assisted gingivitis treatment is significantly effective in improving the gingival index at different times after treatment compared to before treatment, most patients have a gingivitis level reduced by 1-2 degrees after 2 weeks of treatment
