NCT02043340

Brief Summary

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of dental lasers for treatment of periodontal diseases. Commercially available photodynamic therapy for periodontal diseases utilizes methylene blue as a photosensitizer. In this study, the effects of a novel photosensitizer dye, indocyanine green (ICG), as an adjunct to nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis will be evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Bacterial Vitality

    Percentage of viable bacteria were estimated from the subgingival plaque samples at baseline, immediately after treatment and at the end of 1 week using a commercially available bacterial viability kit (LIVE/DEAD® BacLight™ Bacterial Viability Kit, Invitrogen, Leiden, The Netherlands).

    Baseline to 1 week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • LDH

    Baseline to 1 week

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Measures of Periodontal Health

    Baseline to Six months

Study Arms (1)

Indocyanine green (ICG)

EXPERIMENTAL

The study included 30 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. Three sites from three different quadrants were selected and assigned to three groups namely, SRP group - scaling and root planing, LASER group - scaling and root planing with application of 810 nm diode laser and ICG group - scaling and root planing with application of 810 nm diode laser and ICG at a concentration of 5 mg/mL. Primary parameters included estimation of decrease in percentage of viable bacteria at baseline, immediate post treatment and end of 1 week and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels at baseline and end of 1 week. Secondary parameters included site-specific measures of plaque, gingivitis, pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) at specific time intervals.
