Abstract：Periodontal disease exhibits a high prevalence among adults in China,with periodontal health rates across all age groups consistently below 10%.Periodontitis has emerged as one of the primary causes of tooth loss in adults.Root surface hypersensitivity,a common concomitant symptom of periodontal disease,exhibits an incidence rate ranging from 68%to 98%.This condition is closely associated with gingival recession and root surface exposure,significantly compromising patients'quality of life.As a specific manifestation of dentin hypersensitivity,the diagnosis of root surface hypersensitivity requires the exclusion of other contributing factors such as dental caries and cervical wedge-shaped defects.In recent years,Semiconductor lasers,characterized by their compact size,high efficiency,and precise controllability,have gained increasingly widespread applications in clinical dentistry.They have demonstrated notable efficacy in alleviating dentin hypersensitivity,acute apical periodontitis,and pulp sensitivity induced by light-cured materials.This article aims to explore the clinical efficacy of semiconductor lasers in relieving root surface hypersensitivity in patients with periodontal disease,including a comparative analysis of treatment efficacy rates and long-term outcomes.Furthermore,by integrating current advances in laser therapy techniques,it investigates the conditions under which combination therapies may yield synergistic effects,offering new perspectives and feasible treatment options for clinical practice.
