Brief Summary   Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy has been introduced as a promising and non invasive local and adjuvant treatment in several oral infectious diseases. It is a strategy that involves the chemical interaction of a topical nontoxic photosensitizer and a light source with a specific wavelength. The excited photosensitizer reacts with the molecular oxygen from the environment to generate highly reactive oxygen species, causing, among other factors, bacterial cell wall rupture and bacteria death. Its efficacy for elimination of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections and key pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis.
Methylene blue, Curcumin, and Indocyanine green are the most common commercially available PS. They are chemical compounds, disinfectants, and antiseptics used as dyes or indicators in oxirreduction reactions. Methylene Blue has photosensitizing characteristics and an absorption range of 500 nm to 700 nm, being activated by red light. Methylene Blue was chosen as the photosensitizer since its activity against oral bacteria is known and has reported clinical application.
Indocyanine Green has gained special attention as a new PS due to its low toxicity and activation near the infrared spectrum. Its absorption peak at 810 nm coincides with commercially available laser diodes for dental use, which penetrate deeper than a red laser, thus favoring the elimination of bacteria during endodontic treatment.
The AIM of the study is to Evaluate the effect of Photodynamic therapy using Indocyanine green and Methylene Blue in reducing Enterococcus Faecalis and Porphyromonas Gingivalis in Endo-perio lesions.
 Total of 40 Maxillary and mandibular Premolar and Molar teeth with endo-perio lesions (pulp necrosis) in systemically healthy subjects will be taken into the study. They will be assigned into 2 groups consisting of 20 in each with one site in each patient.

 Group I (n= 20): Indocyanine green irrigation (ICG) placement in canal and periodontal pocket followed by laser irradiation.

Group II (n=20): Methylene Blue (MB) placement in canal and periodontal pocket followed by laser irradiation.

analysis of plaque index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level and microbiological analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Enterococcus faecalis from periodontal pocket at baseline and 3 months post operative
