Descrição detalhada
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of the supporting tissues of the teeth and is one of the leading causes of tooth loss worldwide. Scaling and root planing (SRP) is considered the gold standard non-surgical treatment; however, complete elimination of periodontal pathogens may be difficult in deep periodontal pockets and anatomically complex sites.
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a minimally invasive adjunctive treatment. This technique combines a photosensitizing agent, toluidine blue O, with low-level laser irradiation to produce reactive oxygen species capable of destroying periodontal pathogens while minimizing damage to host tissues.
This study will be conducted at the Dental Clinic of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador. Thirty adult patients diagnosed with periodontitis will be enrolled. A split-mouth randomized design will be used, with one hemiarch receiving SRP alone (control) and the contralateral hemiarch receiving SRP plus aPDT (test group).
Clinical parameters including probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI) will be recorded at baseline and at 30-day follow-up. The primary objective is to compare the clinical effectiveness of adjunctive aPDT versus conventional SRP alone in improving periodontal health outcomes.
The study has been approved by the Ethics Committee for Research in Human Subjects of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil (CEISH-UCSG) and will be conducted in accordance with ethical principles for human research.
