Article Synopsis
- Class IV dental diode lasers were studied as a nonsurgical treatment for periodontal pockets in dogs, aiming to reduce pocket depth in a specialty veterinary dental practice.
- A total of 12 dogs with periodontal pockets between 3-6 mm underwent closed root planing and laser therapy, with significant improvement observed: average pocket depth decreased from 3.35 mm to 0.59 mm after treatment.
- Statistical analysis showed a mean reduction of 2.63 mm in pocket depth (highly significant), but no notable differences based on the type of periodontal pocket were found.

The pathogen is maintained in a population due to chronic colonization and shedding from renal tubules of domestic and wild animals. Humans and other animals become infected when they come in contact with urine from infected animals, either directly or through urine-contaminated surface water.
