Diode Laser 635 nm and 810 nm Photodynamic Therapy as Adjuncts to Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
Clinical Effectiveness of Diode Laser 635 nm and 810 nm Adjunctive Photodynamic Therapy Versus Mechanical Treatment in Non-Surgical Management of Periodontal Pockets (A Comparative Clinical Study).
This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using toluidine blue O (TBO) activated by two different diode laser wavelengths as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment in patients with Stage II and Stage III periodontitis. Participants will be randomly allocated to three treatment groups: non-surgical periodontal treatment combined with aPDT using a 635 nm diode laser, non-surgical periodontal treatment combined with aPDT using an 810 nm diode laser, and non-surgical periodontal treatment alone. The treatment outcomes will be evaluated based on changes in the following clinical periodontal parameters: Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Relative Attachment Level (RAL), Probing Depth (PD), and Gingival Recession (GR).

Les conditions
Description détaillée
Several considerations support the need for this study. First, periodontal pockets are among the most common clinical manifestations of periodontal disease. There is also a need for effective treatment modalities that can complement the first-line approach of mechanical periodontal treatment, particularly in deep periodontal pockets and anatomically complex areas.
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an emerging and promising technology in dentistry; however, findings from studies worldwide regarding its superiority over mechanical treatment remain inconsistent. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies directly comparing aPDT using different laser wavelengths with conventional mechanical treatment. Therefore, the findings of this study may provide evidence to support the selection of a more effective treatment option for patients based on scientific evidence.

Groupe de participants / Bras |
Intervention / Traitement |
|---|---|
|
Expérimental: Arm 1: 635 nm Diode Laser-Mediated aPDT + Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
Participants will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment combined with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using toluidine blue O activated by a 635 nm diode laser. |
Participants assigned to this group will undergo non-surgical periodontal treatment with subgingival mechanical instrumentation using slim ultrasonic scaler tips. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy will then be performed using toluidine blue O as the photosensitizing agent, activated by a 635 nm diode laser. The same treatment procedure will be repeated after two weeks. |
|
Expérimental: Arm 2: 810 nm Diode Laser-Mediated aPDT + Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
Participants will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment combined with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using toluidine blue O activated by an 810 nm diode laser. |
Participants assigned to this group will undergo non-surgical periodontal treatment with subgingival mechanical instrumentation using slim ultrasonic scaler tips. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy will then be performed using toluidine blue O as the photosensitizing agent, activated by an 810 nm diode laser. The same treatment procedure will be repeated after two weeks. |
|
Comparateur actif: Arm 3: Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment Alone (Control)
Participants will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment alone, consisting of subgingival mechanical instrumentation using slim ultrasonic scaler tips, without photodynamic therapy. |
Participants assigned to the control group will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment consisting of subgingival mechanical instrumentation using slim ultrasonic scaler tips. No photodynamic therapy or laser application will be performed. |
