Clinical Trial Summary

Treatment of aggressive periodontitis (stage III, grade C periodontitis) represents a big challenge. The aim of the study was to compare the long-term results of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibiotic therapy as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical therapy in patients with aggressive periodontitis. Clinical parameters of probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing (BOP) were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Treatment of aggressive periodontitis (stage III, grade C periodontitis) represents a big challenge. The aim of the study was to compare the long-term results of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibiotic therapy as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical therapy in patients with aggressive periodontitis. Materials and methods: Twenty subjects with untreated aggressive periodontitis (stage III, grade C periodontitis) were divided into two groups: the test group (TG) received non-surgical therapy and two sessions of aPDT using a laser (HELBO TheraLite laser) with a wavelength of 670nm associated with HELBO Blue photosensitizer, and the control group (CG) received non-surgical therapy and antibiotics (amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg, 7 days). Clinical parameters of probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing (BOP) were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment. ;
