Condition: Stage III Periodontitis · Sponsor: Alexandria University
Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that can damage the tissues supporting the teeth. The standard treatment is scaling and root planing of the teeth and roots. However, in some patients, this treatment alone may not fully control inflammation and harmful bacteria. This study aims to evaluate whether adding an active oxygen-releasing gel, with or without photodynamic therapy, improves treatment outcomes in patients with stage III periodontitis. The oxygen-releasing gel is applied to the gums and releases oxygen, which may help reduce harmful bacteria. Photodynamic therapy uses a light source together with a special dye to target and destroy bacteria and improve gingival health. In this randomized clinical trial, 42 patients with stage III periodontitis will be divided into three groups. One group will receive standard scaling and root planing (SRP) plus the oxygen-releasing gel. A second group will receive standard scaling and root planing (SRP)plus the gel and photodynamic therapy. The third group will receive standard scaling and root planing(SRP) only. Gum health will be evaluated by measuring gingival index, bleeding index, pocket depth, and supra crestal tissue attachment level at the start of the study and after one and three months. Microbiological samples from periodontal pockets will also be used to assess levels using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) for relative abundance of Treponema denticola and Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria related to per…
