Present study was conducted at the Department of Periodontics, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, with the aim to evaluate the adjunctive role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in non-surgical treatment of deep periodontal pockets.
30 patients with chronic periodontitis, who met the criteria of having periodontal pockets with probing depth ≥6 mm with bleeding on probing in at least two different quadrants were included in the study. After oral hygiene instructions, each patient was subjected to scaling with ultrasonic and hand scalers. All the sites with probing depth >3 mm were subjected to root planing. One quadrant was selected for PDT, while other served as control. Clinical parameters i.e. Plaque Index (PI), modified Sulcular Bleeding Index (mSBI), Probing Depth (PD) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) were measured at baseline, 1 month and 3 months post-treatment interval.
