Protocol summary

Summary
Periodontitis is defined as the inflammation of the gingiva and the adjacent attachment apparatus .Major goal of periodontal therapy is removal of bacterial biofilms from subgingival surface. The complete removal of bacterial biofilms is difficult to be accomplished. Recently, some studies have mentioned the potential antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of periodontitis. However, there are only limited and contrary data on this subject. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short term effects of adjunctive PDT on periodontal parameters such as bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth(PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) in advanced chronic periodontitis. This study is a randomized, controlled and double-blind clinical trial. 16 patients with clinical diagnosis of advance chronic periodontitIs with at least 2 periodontal pockets (4-6mm) in each quadrant are included. In each person, all teeth will be received periodontal treatment including scaling and root planning. Then, in a randomized splint mouth design which each person will blind to his/her treatment, in each person, one quadrant will be treated by PDT using Light-emitting diod(LED) (625-635nm,200mw/cm2 ,30 s for each site, fotoson CMS Dental ,Denmark) in the presence of toluidine blue O (TBO) and, one quadrant will be treated only by using Light-emitting diode(LED) (625-635nm,200mw/cm2 ,30 s for each site, fotoson CMS Dental ,Denmark) without presence of toluidine blue O, one quadrant will be treated only by toluidine blue O and one quadrant (control site), will not receive any adjunctive treatment. Clinical assessment of BOP, PD and CAL will be made at baseline and a month and three months after treatment by a blind investigator.

Timepoint
Baseline, one month, three month
Method of measurement
recording the presence or the absence of bleeding up to 30 second after probing with a William`s periodontal probe. Bop was measure in 6 sites per each tooth
