Brief Summary
Modification(s)  


Aim: To evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical

periodontal therapy (NSPT) on levels of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) Interleukin-6 (IL-6),

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in chronic periodontitis (CP) patients.

Materials and methods: A total of 20 participants with age above 35 years of age including

both male and female were recruited and was divided into 2 Groups- Group I: CP patients

undergoing NSPT alone. Group II: CP patients undergoing NSPT along with PDT.

Periodontal parameters including Plaque index, gingival index, Probing pocket depth,

Clinical Attachment loss were recorded at baseline, 1month and 3 months. GCF samples

were collected from contralateral premolars and molars at baseline and 3month and were

evaluated using ELISA kit. NSPT was performed with or without PDT at the contralateral

premolars and molars, at baseline and 1 month.

Results : Statistically significant difference was found at 1 and 3 months with respect to clinical parameters i.e. PI,GI, BOP, PPD, CAL and biochemical parameters  in both the groups.

Conclusion: Both treatment modalities proved to be beneficial in reducing inflammation in chronic periodontitis patients.
