Effective therapy reduces inflammation and bacteria, with laser therapy emerging as a promising non-surgical adjunct or standalone option. This study systematically reviews clinical papers on various lasers (low-level laser therapy [LLLT], diode, Er:YAG\/Er, Cr:YSGG, Nd:YAG) as adjuncts in periodontal flap microsurgery for patients with diabetes mellitus (type 1 or type 2), assessing their effects on periodontal health, glycaemic control, and safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO.

Nd:YAG lasers aid healing and inflammation regulation, but benefits are often limited, and long-term effects are unclear. Comprehensive, large-scale trials are needed to shape clinical guidelines.
