The details of patients requiring CLP/gingivectomy prior to RCT were collected.72 patients required the procedure. The details of these patients were collected and reviewed. Excel tabulation was done, results and graphs were obtained from SPSS. Statistical test performed was the Chi square test. 52.76% of the total underwent laser gingivectomy whereas 47.22% of them underwent laser gingivectomy. Chi square test shows p>0.05, non significant association.
