An alternative to these methods that recently gained popularity in periodontology is the diode laser, with its antibacterial effect, angiogenesis promotion as advantages.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Materials and Methods\u2003This study included 100 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis, with periodontal pockets up to 6\u2009mm, and who were divided into two groups: patients treated with basic therapy and diode laser application, and patients treated with basic therapy and with flap surgery. The clinical periodontal evaluation was done before the treatment and 6 months after the treatment.
