The present randomized clinical trial aimed to determine the additive clinical and microbiological benefits of diode laser (DL) with modified Widman flap (MWF) to manage chronic periodontitis. Methods. Seventy-two sites in 36 healthy non-smoking patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to the test group (MWF + active DL) or control group (MWF + sham DL). Clinical (probing pocket depth [PPD], clinical attachment level [CAL]) and microbiological (colony-forming units [CFUs]) measurements were recorded at baseline and 6- and 6-month postoperative intervals. Results. Compared to baseline, 6-month results showed significant changes in clinical and microbiological parameters in both groups. However, the intergroup comparison revealed significantly lower PPD (1.90\u00b10.48 mm vs. 2.35\u00b10.41 mm), CAL (4.43\u00b10.57 mm vs. 4.93\u00b10.58 mm), and CFUs for Porphyromonas gingivalis (6.32\u00b10.18 vs. 8.88 \u00b11.88), Prevotella intermedia (7.62\u00b11.86 vs. 8.12\u00b11.78), and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (6.43\u00b11.44 vs. 7.24\u00b11.22) in the test group after six months. Conclusion. Within the limitations, the present study confirmed the useful role of DL with MWF to manage chronic periodontitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/joddd.2021.023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]],"date-time":"2021-07-07T07:19:43Z","timestamp":1625642383000},"page":"133-139","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Clinical
