Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Conventional non-surgical periodontal treatment, that is, root debridement using manual and ultrasonic means at baseline and surgery using the same means after 6 months in case of persistent deep pockets (Group 1)/ Er:YAG laser used in a non-surgical approach at baseline and surgery using the same laser after 6 months in case of persistent deep pockets (Group 2)/ Surgery at baseline using manual and ultrasonic means (Group 3). All patients will undergo supragingival maintenance on a yearly basis.
