简要总结
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation in the periodontitis treatment. To evaluate the clinical and microbiological response of conventional periodontal treatment associated with photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation with red or infrared laser.
Participants will receive periodontal treatment carried out with the use 0.005% methylene blue and laser therapy (photodynamic therapy), associated with conventional periodontal treatment, as well as the use of photobiomodulation with red or infrared laser associated with conventional periodontal treatment in participants with periodontitis. So, twenty periodontitis patients will be selected and separated in two groups compared with placebo. Clinical and microbiological parameters will be evaluated at baseline and 3 months after periodontal treatment: plaque Index, bleeding on probe, probing depth, gingival recession and clinical attachment level.
详细描述
Periodontitis is a chronic, inflammatory and multifactorial disease, caused by an interaction between debiotic biofilm and its products and an exacerbated host response, leading to the progressive destruction of the supporting periodontium (bone, cement and periodontal ligament), causing loss of clinical attachment. and radiographic, bleeding on probing and periodontal pocket formation. Periodontal disease has a high prevalence and is one of the main causes of edentulism, with a great negative impact on chewing function, aesthetics and quality of life related to oral health. It is, therefore, considered a serious public health problem.
Conventional periodontal therapy consists of scaling and root planing (SRP) and control of supragingival plaque, but in some cases it has been shown to be ineffective in treating periodontitis, especially in difficult to access areas such as furcations and deep pockets. These cases benefit from adjuvant therapies, such as laser therapy, to help heal periodontal tissues, reduce microorganisms and improve clinical parameters.
Photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy have been widely applied in the treatment of periodontal disease, due to their clinical, cellular and bactericidal effects. When associated with conventional periodontal therapy, its benefits increase, promoting a significant reduction in probing depth, number of deep pockets and bleeding. Furthermore, significant reduction of periodontopathogens and Candida albicans can be observed in the literature after photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy.
Despite the benefits found when different laser therapy protocols are used in periodontal treatment, due to the lack of studies with high methodological quality and weak evidence in the existing literature, more studies are needed to prove their effects, establish appropriate protocols and evaluate the antimicrobial potential in periodontopathogens, which remains debatable, as recent systematic reviews point out.
The direct benefits of this study are the treatment of periodontal disease for the participants and for the scientific community to indicate new forms of periodontal therapy using different protocols of laser therapy associated with periodontal instrumentation. All tooth pocket sites in all groups will receive treatment.

盲法说明
Randomization will be carried out by a blind clinician for the initial assessment of participants, using a computer program (Spyder 5.5.4), in which each patient will be randomly selected to define the site to receive one of the treatments. Next, gels will be encoded in a syringe and applied by a researcher blind to the sites and reagents, each of the 4 sites will receive one of the following treatments: 1 - photosensitization with 0.005% AM gel (Fórmula e Ação Farmácia, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) for 5 minutes, and apply photodynamic therapy with a red laser; 2 - photobiomodulation with red laser; 3 - photobiomodulation with infrared laser; and 4 - control, application of saline gel and, after 5 minutes, simulate the application of the laser, with the device in inactive mode, in order to maintain blinding of the patients (control). In groups 2 and 3, as no gel will be applied, the application of the gel with an empty syringe will be simulated, to keep patients blind

研究组 & 干预措施
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and 0.005% methylene blue (aPDT)
Photosensitization will be performed with 0.005% methylene blue gel for 5 minutes, and photodynamic therapy will be applied with a red laser (660 nm) using a DuoⓇ laser with the optical fiber inside the periodontal pocket in back and forth movements, for 90s, 9 joules of energy, dose of 508.5J/cm2, irradiance of 5.65W/cm2 and power of 100mW.
干预措施: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and 0.005% methylene blue (PDT) (Procedure)
Photobiomodulation with a red laser (PBM-RL)
Photobiomodulation will be performed with a red laser (660 nm) using a DuoⓇ laser with the optical fiber inside the periodontal pocket in back and forth movements, for 90s, 9 joules of energy, dose of 508.5J/cm2, irradiance of 5.65W/cm2 and power of 100mW.

结局指标
主要结局
Plaque index (PI)
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Plaque index will be expressed in percentage per individual to evaluate the supragingival plaque control.
Gingival recession (GR)
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Gingival recession (GR) will be measured clinically in millimeters with a periodontal probe as the distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the depth of the free gingival margin.
Bleeding on probing (BOP)
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Bleeding on probing (BOP) will be expressed in percentage per individual to evaluate presence of BOP \<20% good results.
Pocket probing depth (PPD)
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Pocket probing depth (PPD) will be evaluated in millimeters. The measure will be performed at six sites per tooth using a periodontal probe. The PPD corresponds to the distance from the gingival margin to the apical portion of the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket.
Clinical attachment level (CAL)
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Clinical attachment level (CAL) will be measured clinically in millimeters with a periodontal probe and corresponds as the distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the base of the periodontal pocket. CAL represents the extension of periodontal support that has been lost around a tooth.
