This search was carried out to clarify the effects of Diode Laser (DL) therapy on chronic periodontitis, by healing, reducing pockets depth and minimizing microbial counts. Patients (Pts) were 60 as study group (SG) and 15Pts as control group (CG), all were complained of chronic periodontitis. SG was received DL therapy and CG irrigation with normal saline. The treatment period had taken (10week): (phase1: Baseline) at 1 st week,( phase2: Treatment secessions) at 3 rd , 5 th , 7 th and 9 th week, and (phase3: Follow up) at 10 th week. The mean prevalence of Clinical Dental Indices(CDI),which included PD were (6.6, 5.6, 4.5, 4.0, 3.6 and 3.1mm) and (6.6, 5.8. 4.8, 4.2, 3.9 and 3.5mm), PI were (2.7, 1.7, 1.2, 0.8, 0.4 and 0.2) and (2.7, 1.9, 1.4, 1.1, 0.9 ad 0.6), and BOP were (95, 66.7, 40, 25, 11.7 and 1.6%) and (96.7, 75, 63,3, 45, 31.7 and 25%) for SG and CG respectively. The mean prevalence of Colony Forming Units (CFUs)/ml were (500, 430, 335, 205, 80 and 15) and (500, 455, 400, 325, 255 and 165) for SG and CG respectively. DL irradiation had revealed anti- microbial effects and reduction of inflammation, which supported healing periodontal pockets through microbial elimination than old methods. Key words: Diode Laser (DL), Chronic Periodontitis, Pockets, Microbial Counts, Patients (Pts), Clinical Dental Indices (CDI), Pocket Depths (PD), Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Colony Forming Units/ml (CFUs/ml).
