U.S., July 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07080762) titled 'Photodynamic Therapy in Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy' on July 09.
Brief Summary: Non-surgical periodontal therapy is a widely adopted procedure for the treatment of periodontitis, particularly in its moderate to severe stages. The approach involves the mechanical and manual debridement of subgingival biofilm and calculus through the use of ultrasonic scalers and hand curettes. This method aims to disrupt the pathogenic bacterial load within periodontal pockets and promote clinical attachment gain while reducing inflammation. However, the mechanical removal of biofilm alone may not always ensure complete bacterial eradication, es...
