Use of Dual-light Photodynamic Therapy as an Adjunct to Periodontal

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this controlled clinical trial is to investigate the impact of regular home use of Lumoral device as an adjunct treatment compared to non-surgical periodontitis treatment (NSPT) alone on biofilm removal and host response in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients at 6 months.The main question aims to answer is: • Does regular use of dual-light photodynamic therapy benefit NSPT in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients? 30 participants will be asked to use Lumoral device every night before performing oral hygiene for 10 minutes, while the other 30 patients will be asked to perform only oral hygiene. Both of these groups will receive NSPT and will be followed for 6 months from baseline.

Clinical Trial Description

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of regular home use of Lumoral device® as an adjunct treatment compared to non-surgical periodontal treatment alone on biofilm removal and host response in Stage III and Grade C smoking periodontitis patients at 6 months. Lumoral® is based on a dual-wavelength LED light that activates Lumorinse® (exocellular) and bacteria porphyrins (endocellular), resulting in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS and heat induce a series of photochemical and biological events that cause irreversible inactivation leading to the death of undesired bacteria. This device is designed for home use. Therefore it is hypothesized that its adjunct use in the treatment of periodontitis could lead to better outcomes compared to traditional periodontal treatment. In order to investigate this impact, clinical and microbiological measurements will be compared between patients who will be treated with conventional non-surgical periodontal treatment and patients who will receive the Lumoral device® as an adjunct to the periodontal treatment. The patients who receive the device will use it every day for four months. Both groups will be followed for 6 months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
