This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of repeated subgingival instrumentation combined with 980 nm diode laser decontamination in the non-surgical treatment of deep periodontal pockets. A total of 40 otherwise healthy patients with generalized periodontitis, encompassing 1,168 sites with deep pockets, were included and baseline PPD, bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival recession (REC), clinical attachment level (CAL), and plaque index (PI) were recorded. Each patient underwent non-surgical laser-assisted periodontal therapy and was enrolled in a maintenance program with three-month recall visits during the first year of follow-up.

Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a vicious arrhythmia usually generated after removal of the aortic cross-clamp (ACC) in patients undergoing open-heart surgery, which could damage cardiomyocytes, especially in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Amiodarone has the prominent properties of converting VF and restoring sinus rhythm. However, few studies concentrated on the effect of amiodarone before ACC release on reducing VF in patients with LVH.
