Summary

The present study aims to evaluate photodynamic therapy (PDT) using Zinc oxide as a photosensitizer as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the management of chronic periodontitis.

Conditions

  • Chronic Periodontitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Photodynamic therapy

Zinc oxide gel/placebo gel will be placed into the periodontal pockets using a blunt cannula ensuring that starting from the bottom, it completely fills the periodontal pockets. The gel will be retained in the pocket for 5 minutes. The perio tip will be attached to the hand piece of the light cure unit (Wavelength: 420-480nm. Light power: 1200mw/cm2 in continuous mode) and light will be activated for 60 seconds. Following this, the pockets will be irrigated with normal saline solution (0.9%Sodium chloride). For groups 1 and 2, sham PDT will be performed by directing the Light cure device without turning on the light beam.
