Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of photoablative and photodynamic diode laser in adjunct to scaling-root planing (PAPD+SRP) and SRP alone for the treatment of periodontitis.


Clinical Trial Description

The present study is a randomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial, which used a split-mouth design. All patients were informed individually about the nature of the proposed treatment, and informed consent forms were signed. Twenty-four patients were studied. Maxillary left or right quadrants were randomly assigned to PAPD laser treatment or sham-treatment and SRP. PAPD consisted of: i) photoablative gingival epithelium with diode laser (λ 810 nm, 1 W); ii) photodynamic treatments (4-10 weekly) with diode laser (λ 635 nm, 100 mW) and 0.3% methylene blue as photoactive antiseptic, performed after SRP. Sham-treatment was similar but with switched off laser.

Efficacy evaluations, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP) was performed at baseline ,1year, and year 3 using a conventional manual periodontal probe. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), erythrocytes (RBC), damaged epithelial cells (DEC) and bacteria were assayed by cytofluorescence on gingival exfoliative samples at baseline, 6 month and 1, 3, 5 years. ;
