Abstract:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical effects of PDT, as adjunct to
conventional SRP alone in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
Three patients (2 females and one male ) ,with age: ranging from 18–60 years
were selected for the study .Thirty site were examined for patient Plaque
index (PI),Gingival index (GI), PDs, and The probing pocket depth and
CALs were measured using graduated periodontal probe . The subjects
were divided in to three group SRP, single episode of PDT using 1% MB
solution and LLLT using a a diode laser • Group II: SRP and single
episode of PDT using 1% MB solution as a photosensitizer • Group III: SRP
only.
The obtained results indicated that patients treated with the SRP, single
episode of PDT using 1% MB solution and LLLT had less plaque index
gingival index and clinical attachment loss when compare d to patients
treated with SRP and 1% MB solution as a photosensitizer a and those
treated with SRP only (0.001).
Based on the results, it can be concluded that treatment of periodontal pocket
with the SRP, single episode of PDT using 1% MB solution and LLLT
provides less plaque index gingival index and clinical attachment loss
when compare d to patients treated with SRP and single episode of PDT
using 1% MB solution as a photosensitizer a and those treated with SRP
only.
