Abstract:- Periodontal disease caused by dental plaque which is a biofilm of mixed aetiology is one of the most prevalent diseases in oral cavity caused by periodontopathic bacteria . Periodontits is conventionally treated with mechanical debridement procedures and adjunctive antimicrobial therapy. Photodynamic therapy is a novel non invasive therapeutic approach with increased pathogen and site specificity. Photodynamic therapy involves use of photosensitzer that is activated by exposure to light of specific wavelength to form toxic oxygen species thereby causing localized photo damage and cell death. Application of photodynamic therapy in periodontics such as pocket debridement, gingivitis, aggressive periodontitis continue to evolve into a mature clinical treatment modality, and is considered as a promising novel approach for eradicating pathogenic bacteria in periodontitis.
Keywords:-Novel treatment, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy, Periodontitis. |
