Overview

Clinico-microbiological study reveals aPDT reduces bacteria in periodontal pockets for various gingival phenotypes.

Key Points

  • Transgingival antimicrobial photodynamic therapy effectively reduced bacterial counts in periodontal pockets.
  • In thick gingiva, the CFU count dropped from 138 to 49.2, while in thin gingiva it reduced from 121.8 to 50.4.
  • Methodology involved treating 40 patients with different gingival phenotypes using aPDT and analyzing subgingival plaque samples.
  • This approach highlights a promising method for managing periodontal disease with potential for effective results.
