- Brief Summary
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is being widely used in different therapeutic procedures in dentistry and medicine.’ Red complex bacteria have been seen to play a major role in controlling the biofilm in deep periodontal pockets thus having a major role in both initiation and progression of pocket depth. Indocyanine Green (ICG) offers the advantage of being active in deep pockets where these red complex bacteria’sthrive. ICG has demonstrated promising results in vitro studies specifically targeting the red complex periopathogens.Very limited studies have been done to evaluate the effect of PDT using ICG in-vivo. Serum procalcitonin is a potent marker for bacterial infections in the field of medicine. Recent articles suggest the utility of using GCF Procalcitonin levels as a marker for not just periodontal disease activity but also as an indicator for microbial activity.Hence, this novel study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser and indocyanine green mediated photodynamic therapy as an adjunct to scaling and root planing on the red complex microflora and associated changes in GCF Procalcitonin levels in periodontitis patients. The additional microbial testing will help strengthen the decision making which was earlier based on clinical and inflammatory markers alone.
