Background. Conventional mechanical debridement alone cannot eliminate bacteria and their products from periodontal pockets. Adjunctive therapies improve tissue healing through detoxification and bactericidal effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment procedure that involves the use of a dye as a photosensitizer to attach to the target cell and be activated by a photon of an appropriate wavelength. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of PDT in treating periodontitis as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. Methods. Fifteen subjects with chronic periodontitis were treated randomly with scaling and root planing (SRP), followed by a single PDT (test) or SRP (control) episode alone. Full-mouth plaque index (PI), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed at baseline and 1-month and 3-month intervals. Microbiological evaluation of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) in subgingival plaque samples was performed using a commercially available real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results. The results revealed a significant difference in PI, SBI, PD, CAL, and microbiological parameters between the groups one and three months after treatment. Conclusion. A combination of PDT and SRP gave rise to a significant improvement in clinical and microbiological parameters in patients with chronic periodontitis.

Introduction: The motive of the present study is to comparatively measure the competence and effectiveness of diode laser and chlorhexidine chip as adjuncts to the scaling and root planing procedure, in patients with chronic periodontitis. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of diode laser and chlorhexidine chip before and after scaling and root planing in the management of chronic periodontitis. The objective is to compare the efficacy of chlorhexidine chip and diode laser before and after scaling and root planning on clinical parameters. Study and design: Randomized clinical trial with split mouth design done in the Department of Periodontics and Implantology. Materials and methods: Twenty chronic periodontitis patients having a probing pocket depth of 5mm-7mm on at least one interproximal site in each quadrant of the mouth were selected in the study. After initial treatment, four sites in each patient were randomly subjected to scaling and root planing (control), chlorhexidine chip application (CHX chip group), diode laser (810 nm) decontamination (Diode laser group) or combination of both (Diode laser and chip group). All subjects received a clinical periodontal examination by single examiner who recorded all the variables by manual procedure. Clinical parameters namely Plaque index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed at baseline, one month and three months. Results were statistically analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Post Hoc Analysis. Results: The differences in PPD reduction and CAL gain between control group and CHX chip and combination groups were statistically significant (p<0.05) at three months, whereas, the diode laser group did not show any significant difference from the control group. Conclusion: Within the limitations in the present study, the following conclusions were derived, i.e., chlorhexidine local delivery alone or in combination with diode laser decontamination is effective in improving oral hygiene, reducing gingival inflammation, reducing probing pocket depth and improving clinical attachment levels when used as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in non-surgical periodontal therapy of patients with chronic periodontitis. Keywords: Diode laser decontamination, Local drug delivery, Scaling and root planing.

Background and Objectives: C?reactive protein (CRP) is a type I acute phase reactant. A number of studies have reported elevated gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) CRP levels in periodontitis subjects, which decrease following periodontal therapy. Effect of diode laser as an adjuct to Scaling & Root planing is also well stablished. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment SRP with diode laser, on CRP levels in GCF in patients with chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 subjects with moderate periodontitis based on community periodontal index scores, were included in the study. Periodontal therapy was performed dividing each side of jaw as a group (Split mouth); one side SRP alone & another Diode laser with SRP. GCF was collected from each subject at Baseline (prior to treatment) and 1 month after periodontal therapy. The collected sample was subjected to biochemical analysis to detect CRP levels by using a commercially available highly sensitive kit. Results: The present study demonstrated that the mean CRP values at baseline were found to be 0.11043mg/l in side-I (side treated with SRP alone); 0.11042mg/l in side-II (side treated with SRP & laser) of the patient, which reduced to 0.4148 mg/L in side I and 0.3985mg/L in side II after treatment, which are highly significant according to statistical analysis but the changes between two sides were non- significant statistically. Interpretation and Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that periodontal therapy is able to reduce the GCF C reactive protein level significantly, but there was no statistically significant result in CRP level, between sides treated with SRP & SRP with laser. Key words: Chronic periodontitis, C?reactive protein, gingival crevicular fluid, Scaling and root planing, Diode laser

Introduction: Topical chemotherapeutic agents used in treatment of chronic periodontitis are antimicrobial agents which help in plaque control. The present study evaluates the efficacy of ornidazole gel with gold standard chlorhexidine gel when used as adjunct to scaling and root planing. Material and Methods: 90 patients diagnosed as chronic periodontitis, having pocket depth ?3 mm and in good systemic health were selected by systematic sampling method and divided in 3 groups. In all 3 groups scaling and root planing was done. In group A, Ornidazole gel application was done while in Group B Chlorhexidine gel application was done while Group C was control group. Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI) were recorded at baseline, 1 and 3 months while Probing pocket depth (PPD) and Clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and 3 months. Results: PI and GI showed significant reduction in all three groups after 1 and 3 months compared to baseline. On inter group comparison, both PI and GI showed no significant difference in reduction of scores after 1 month and 3 months (p>0.05). PPD and CAL values showed statistically significant reduction after 3 months when compared to baseline values. The intergroup comparison revealed statistically significant reduction in group A and B compared to control group C (p<0.05). Conclusion: Ornidazole showed comparable efficacy as Chlorhexidine when used as adjunct to scaling and root planing for treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Objectives: Photodynamic therapy applies to the elimination of target cells by reactive oxygen species using a photosensitizing agent and a sufcient wavelength of light. It is a new, non-invasive approach to preventing infection. It is now an upcoming alternative treatment modality for periodontitis patients as a supplement to traditional scaling and root planing. The objective of the present study was to assess and compare the effect of photodynamic therapy with conventional Scaling and Root planing in patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods: The study included a minimum of 5 non-smoking males with mild to moderate periodontitis. Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, gingival bleeding index, pocket probing depth, clinical attachment level; microbiological parameter – anaerobic bacterial CFU count in subgingival plaque samples and biochemical parameter – GCF SOD levels were evaluated at baseline and 28 days postoperatively. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS (SYSTAT 12) statistical software. The Wilcoxon signed Rank test was used to compare the mean values of various parameters before and after treatment. Results: The results of the study show that all clinical parameters improved from baseline to day 28. Following therapy, the mean levels of the anaerobic bacterial CFU and GCF SOD have decreased dramatically. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a signicant improvement in clinical, microbiological and Biochemical parameters with the use of PDT as an adjunct to conventional SRP in chronic periodontitis patients
